Reason for running

submitted by the candidate or their team

I want Port Coquitlam to be inclusive, welcoming and accessible to people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.

-I want families, seniors, newcomers and people at different income levels to have housing while keeping the city livable.

I want safer streets and public spaces and approaches to addiction and mental health that combine safety with dignity.

-I see older residents as an important source of knowledge and experience and want to create more opportunities for seniors and younger people to connect.

-I believe Council has a responsibility to manage property taxes carefully, pursue senior-government funding, be transparent and plan for the long term.

I want improved transit connections, including working toward bringing SkyTrain to Port Coquitlam, as well as better transportation options for seniors and people with disabilities.

I want people experiencing homelessness to be treated with dignity while being connected with outreach workers, housing, health services and other supports.

I want residents to have access to recreation, parks, trails, sidewalks, community programs and opportunities to participate without having to leave their neighbourhood.
