Biography
Nancy has spent more than three decades in Saanich real estate, working closely with families across the district as they've bought, sold, and put down roots. That hands-on experience - seeing how zoning decisions, development approvals, and municipal spending actually play out for real people - is what first pulled her into local advocacy.
In 2021, Nancy helped lead a grassroots Alternative Approval Process campaign that successfully stopped the District of Saanich from borrowing $150 million without direct voter approval. That campaign became the starting point for Save Our Saanich, the slate of independent candidates she went on to co-found.
She currently serves as a Director-at-Large with the North Quadra Community Association, staying closely connected to the concerns of her own neighbourhood while running for Council.
Nancy is running because she believes Saanich residents deserve a council that listens first - and that good decisions come from real public input, not decisions made behind closed doors.

Reason for running
As a 30+ year resident and real estate professional in Saanich, I've spent years working directly with families navigating our community's growth — and I've seen firsthand where local government listens well, and where it doesn't.
In 2021, I co-founded Save Our Saanich after helping lead a successful Alternative Approval Process campaign that stopped the municipality from borrowing $150 million without direct voter approval. That experience taught me that residents deserve a real voice in decisions that shape our neighbourhoods, our budgets, and our green spaces.
On Council, I'll prioritize:
- Protecting Saanich's tree canopy, green spaces, and wildlife corridors
- A transportation strategy that works for cyclists, transit users, and drivers alike
- Transparent, engaged decision-making that actually reflects public input
- Gradual, respectful development that fits our neighbourhoods
- Responsible spending that puts core services first
I'm also a Director-at-Large with the North Quadra Community Association, where I continue to work directly with residents on the issues that matter most to them.
