The decision to run for Mayor is grounded in the areas where you have told me how you want to see the city grow. Over the course of my term as a Northcrest Councillor, I have represented the interests of the Ward, as well as those of our City. In my experience as the Vice-Chair of Economic Development and other committee work, I have identified key areas where the City can expand our tax base without compromising on our cherished green spaces and natural habitat.
I have a C.L.E.A.R vision to pivot the City towards the type of sustainable growth that we are ready to experience.
We have complex issues to resolve such as homelessness, a shortage of affordable housing, diversifying commercial and industrial land use, and hammering out arobust climate action plan.
This is our City, it is our Future. Let’s make Peterborough a vibrant place to live!

Community Safety & Climate Action
We need a path forward to build on our climate action plan. A robust and pragmatic plan must include consultation with local, and other experts, as we navigate through housing retrofit programs and the eventual electrification of our commercial fleet. Click to Learn More
Leading and Engaging Toward Balanced Growth
We need to correct our current imbalance in housing options. Our development and approval process must be streamlined to effectively reflect the balanced growth of when we build, what we build, and how we build as our population grows. Click to Learn More
Economic Development
Peterborough is in the 3rd wave of substantial economic change. To move past our historic industrial centres and into the 21st century means taking the lead to expand our long-term vision to include novel creative sectors, innovative clusters, and new opportunities in clean technology and manufacturing.
