Practical, common-sense solutions focused on moving West Perth forward.
Improving Municipal Leadership
When residents reach out to their elected officials with questions or concerns, they deserve the courtesy of a reply rather than silence.
If elected, I will propose a formal motion requiring council members to acknowledge and respond to resident emails within a clear, reasonable timeframe.
No more unanswered emails.
While council meeting minutes and videos are posted online, most busy residents simply do not have the time to track them down.
I will bridge that information gap by staying active on my social media and website to bring important updates and decisions from council directly to you.
Bringing the important news to you.
True local representation means being reachable by the people who elected you, long after election day has passed.
My personal cell phone number is publicly available on my social media pages and this website so community members can always reach me directly.

Improve Our Community
Providing reliable, robust infrastructure to residents forms the absolute foundation of a well-run municipality.
If elected, I will conduct a thorough review of our current infrastructure networks to identify critical gaps and prioritize areas needing immediate improvement.
Prioritizing the fundamentals of our town.
Mitchell and West Perth possess a distinct character felt across the community, but recent rapid development threatens to erode that unique identity.
If elected, I will review our development bylaws to protect that character by implementing sensible requirements like mandating trees on new lots and encouraging a balanced mix of housing styles.
Protecting the character we all love.
When residential and commercial growth happens in our community, supporting the local workforce strengthens our broader economy.
If elected, I will propose incentives or evaluation criteria that prioritize developers who source a minimum percentage of their labour force locally.
Reward builders who invest locally.
Whether traveling an urban street in Mitchell or a rural concession road across West Perth, safe transportation is an everyday necessity for everyone.
If elected, I will advocate for proactive road repair schedules and dependable winter snow-clearing standards to keep our network safe in all weather conditions.
Keeping our roads safe and dependable year-round.
Improve Your Life
A lack of access to affordable childcare places an immense strain on working families throughout West Perth. My own family has spent nearly 3 years on the waitlist for Perth Care.
While municipal governments have limited direct jurisdiction over childcare, we can still act as a powerful voice to the Provincial Government and pursue creative local solutions.
Fighting for local families who need support.
Housing affordability is a pressing crisis across West Perth and beyond, making it clear that we need to build more housing options for both purchase and rent.
We can tackle this responsibly by assessing actual community needs and passing smart bylaws that expand housing choices without opening the floodgates to unmanaged high-density growth.
Smart growth that respects our community.
A vibrant community relies on healthy, active spaces like our arenas, parks, and program centers where children learn and families connect.
If elected, I will advocate for sensible investments in our recreational infrastructure to ensure these vital community spaces remain accessible and affordable for everyone.
Keeping our community active and connected.
Every dollar spent by the municipality comes directly from the pockets of hardworking taxpayers managing tight household budgets.
If elected, I will push for rigorous line-by-line budget reviews and internal efficiencies to ensure we secure maximum value for our tax dollars.
Respecting your hard-earned tax dollars.
Small businesses form the beating heart of Mitchell and West Perth's local economy, providing jobs and keeping our downtown core alive.
If elected, I will work to reduce unnecessary administrative red tape for local entrepreneurs and collaborate with business groups to encourage sustained commercial investment.
Supporting the businesses that support our town.
