Practical leadership for a better Barrie: safer streets, a vibrant sense of community, and a council that serves the best interests of The City of Barrie and its residents.
A BETTER BARRIE STARTS CLOSE TO HOME.
Ward 4 deserves a councillor who shows up, actively engages where it matters, is guided by critical thought and evidence supported research, and follows through. No lofty or unrealistic promises that can’t be fulfilled. I am running to bring steady, community-first, outcome based representation to the council table.

PRIORITIES
Focused on what residents feel every day
01
Safer local streets
Traffic calming, better crosswalks, and complete street networks so you can walk to school, transit, and parks with confidence.
02
Responsible growth
While ensuring development pays for itself should be an objective, it is vital to ensure that our city's growth aligns with both provincial mandates and our local priorities.
It is important to evolve, and yet we can guide that trajectory.

Reliable city services
Clear communication, quicker follow-up, and predictable delivery of the basic services that make neighbourhoods livable.
