Your Voice for Common $ense

Mine has been a significant “volunteer career” before my appointment to Council in 2018. Involved with community committees, advocating for citizens and neighborhoods and a voice for PAC associations.

A 4th generation North Vancouverite, my sons were raised in Lynn Valley and are proud of their heritage. I am afraid that I will be the last generation of my family that can afford to live here. Among my platform issues, I define “affordable housing” as "attainable housing tied to income".

I support forward looking decisions and as an Accountant I am judicious in applying measurement skills – analyzing situations, active listening and taking a collaborative approach to deliver effective solutions.

I am proud to have served on a number of committees during my term:

• Finance & Audit Committee
• Property Tax Parcel Roll
• Commissioner with North Vancouver Museum & Archives Commission (MONOVA)
• Commissioner with North Vancouver Recreation & Culture -Advisory Oversight Committee.

I will continue my strong focus on:

• Community voices – I am listening
• Housing – diverse, “attainable”
• Transportation – need innovative solutions to the gridlock and safe routes for all forms of transportation
• Infrastructure – must catch up to our growth and be maintained or replaced
• Development – expedite our communities needs -Fiscal Sustainability – pursue cost savings, review revenue streams, municipal charges
• Environmental Sustainability – enforce current regulations, protect our parklands and wildlife, continue to develop, and implement climate change strategies
