Independent for Victoria Council
The goal is for Victoria to become the safest, most sustainable, and most affordable small city in Canada.
Climate Change, Heat, & Fires
Energy-Efficient Buildings
Build upon the Zero Carbon Step Code and shift focus to decarbonizing existing building stock.
Green Space
Victoria now has 150,000 trees. Continue to expand the urban forest canopy and green space across the city.
Private Vehicles & Parking
Continue to support EV stations, car-share, and other means of reducing reliance on private fossil-fuel-powered vehicles.
Walking & Cycling
Improve infrastructure for pedestrians, including sidewalks and crosswalks.
Housing & Homelessness
Affordability
Make life more affordable by investing in public assets that give low-cost opportunities for public use (e.g. parks, libraries, transit, arts events)

Address disorder on Pandora by continuing to take a five-pillars approach to community safety, including housing and treatment, and by working to decentralize services concentrated downtown.

Public & Assistive Housing
Continue to approve and co-invest in non-market housing via the City, and to build affordable housing via the CRD.

Biography
submitted by the candidate or their team
I am an incumbent Victoria City Councillor, CRD Director, and Transit Commissioner. I'm proud to call Fernwood home, where I live with my wife and two kids who attend Vic High. My career has spanned academia, civil service, and small business ownership.
My first term focused on results -- getting the Crystal Pool referendum completed, winding down sheltering in parks by getting unhoused people into housing, expanding active transportation infrastructure, taking bold climate action, investing in arts and culture, and approving record numbers of housing, including thousands of non-market affordable homes.
If re-elected, my work would continue on all of the topics listed above, ensuring that downtown is safe and vibrant, building more housing of all types, and continuing to make Victoria a vibrant, sustainable, and safe place to live.

Reason for running
submitted by the candidate or their team
I am running for reelection because I love this city. I have lived in Victoria for 15 years and believe it's the best small city in the world. It can be an even better place to live with the right leadership, focus, and investments to ensure that it's safe, vibrant, & affordable.
