Melanie is running in this election because she believes climate change is the number one issue we are facing as a world. She is disappointed in the progress we have made towards protecting our environment and reducing carbon emissions across the country. Locally, she would like to see better protection of the remaining wetlands, including buffer zones around them and all other waterways and agricultural areas. She would also like to see all levels of government working in collaboration to improve both the health care system and the housing crisis. Melanie also recognizes that the major issues facing Canadian’s today are having a disproportionate impact on Indigenous communities and Melanie would like to see the Indigenous community included in all of these discussions. Melanie would like a better future for her kids than what they are facing currently, and she is willing to do the work to make that happen.
