1. Community Built For Living

New city minimums are 86 sq/foot bedrooms and 60% maximum for studios and 1 bedrooms

What I’ll do:

1. Advocate for more 2 and 3 bedroom homes in every development, with larger bedrooms
2. Hold firm to commitments for parks, healthcare, schools, and community spaces to match growth
3. Push developers to build livable spaces that guarantees quality of life, not just unit count
4. Build co-op and non-market housing options into how every neighbourhood grows
5. Champion a housing mix that lets families move up in Coquitlam, not out of it

A city's housing should fit real life, not the smallest unit developers can get away with

2. Smart Investments in Growth

Too much red tape, long permit processes, and confusing budgets

What I’ll do:

1. Champion the small businesses and entrepreneurs that make Coquitlam home
2. Invest in the community infrastructure that helps people and businesses thrive
3. Communicate clearly with plain-language budgets
4. Cut red tape, not the frontline workers who keep this city running
5. Push for a fast-track permit stream, proven in Surrey and Toronto without cutting standards
6. Allow modernized multi-story buildings on industrial-zoned land to make room for the jobs we're recruiting

People should be able to build in Coquitlam, not wait months for a permit to do it.

3. Coquitlam Works

Building a more diverse local economy that eases the property tax burden

What I’ll do:

1. Give economic development its own dedicated team to recruit employers directly
2. Hold developers to consistent office space near every SkyTrain station, not just when forced
3. Push the city's Economic Development Strategy to set clear targets, sectors, and timelines so residents can track real progress
4. Build investor-ready data packages for site selectors, not just marketing pages
5. Market QNet fibre and recruit engineering, architecture, clean energy, and tech firms through direct outreach
6. Check in regularly with existing employers so we don't lose the jobs we already have while chasing new ones

Attract the jobs to match the SkyTrain, fibre, and housing already in place.

4. Canadian Technology, Canadian Control

Every contract the city signs is a choice about who controls our data.

What I’ll do:

1. Champion a Coquitlam data residency policy, modeled after Toronto’s
2. Advocate for city technology contracts to prioritize BC and Canadian companies first
3. Push the province and federal government to protect Canadian data
4. Call on the city to get ahead of AI’s impact on local jobs, not behind it

If it runs our city, it should answer to us, not a foreign shareholder.

5. Protecting Coquitlam’s Green Spaces

Growth is paving over the parks and forest canopy that make this city livable.

What I’ll do:

1. Push the province for real wildfire prevention funding
2. Plant fire-resistant trees like aspens in wildfire buffer zones across Coquitlam
3. Smart stewardship of Pinecone Burke Park for the next generation
4. Protect our urban tree canopy and neighbourhood green space
5. Fix stormwater, creeks, and contaminated sites before they’re a crisis
6. Keep data centres away from Coquitlam’s drinking water supply

Protect it now, or explain to the next generation why it's gone.

6. Safety You Can Actually Feel

Crime stats look fine on paper. That’s not what residents are telling me.

What I’ll do:

1. Advocate for better street lighting near parks, trails, and transit stops
2. Champion safer sidewalks, trails, and roadways
3. Call for outreach and mental health response paired with policing
4. Fund bylaw officers who crack down on vandalism and harassment

People should feel safe in every part of Coquitlam, not just the parts that already do.

7. Fighting for Coquitlam

The Province passes on expenses and it’s your property taxes that pick-up the tab

What I’ll do:

1. Demand funding that matches what Coquitlam actually needs
2. Push for real support on mental health services
3. Advocate for a mix of low barrier and high barrier shelters for the homeless
4. Collaborate at regional and provincial levels as a strong voice for Coquitlam
5. Push to expand BC's internationally-trained doctor program to Coquitlam, cut red tape for new clinics

Coquitlam residents deserve real support, not more costs passed down.

8. A Council That Listens

Big decisions land better when residents help shape them from the start.

What I’ll do:

1. Act on repeated traffic and parking complaints, you know your neighbourhood best
2. Bring residents into the conversation early, not after
3. Show up in every neighbourhood, not just city hall
4. Base my votes on what residents actually tell me
5. Keep my decisions and donors fully open to the public

If it affects Coquitlam, Coquitlam should have a say before it's decided.
