Climate Change
Energy-Efficient Buildings & Retrofits
Green's promises
to create resources such as how-to guides, comprehensive lists of grant and funding options, recognized/certified practitioners and trades companies.
especially to net zero, including for removing gas heating and appliances and provide modified requirements for older character buildings.
to absorb and reduce stormwater runoff and keep buildings cooler in the summers and warmer in winters.
by retrofitting key public buildings with climate-smart heating and cooling systems (e.g., Seniors’ Centers, Family Places, Neighbourhood Houses).Include educational displays of how much energy is produced, GHGs reduced, and money saved on energy bills.
Urban Heat
Green's promises
Greens believe in the 3-30-300 rule for a healthier, greener city: every resident should be able to see a minimum of 3 trees from every home, enjoy 30 percent tree canopy cover in every neighbourhood and be within 300 metres of the nearest public park or green space. 30% is a minimum - we'll aim to match Metro Vancouver’s goal of 40% city-wide tree cover with tree species that excel at sequestering GHGs and can cope with changing climate.

They may still in the future!
In the meantime, you can learn more about them on their website.
Biography
I grew up and went to school and university in the UK, studying chemistry at the University of Bristol, so had to learn about a new school system here in Vancouver. I continue to un-learn and re-learn on the unceded lands of the Musqueam, Squamish and Musqueam Nations.
Reason for running
I'm really eager to be re-elected as l want to be a part of rolling out the new VSB Education Plan, turning the words of the three goals into actions; (1) student achievement, including physical and mental well-being and a sense of belonging, (2) equity, and (3) the district’s Reconciliation journey.
I'm also looking to better serve families by enhancing schools as community hubs, and especially for before-and-after school childcare as this is essential for so many families.
