Proven Record of Community Focused Representation
Affordability
Where we put our tax dollars matters. Everyone pays property taxes, either directly or through their rents. Ensuring we fund projects that get us the most bang for our bucks collectively, is my goal.
Safety
Safety on our roads, sidewalks, bike lanes, in our homes, in our parks and on our trails are important and I will continue to fight for policies that ensure our community is safe for everyone.
Representation
Everyone in Guelph has a different need, hobby, lifestyle and stage of life. I make sure to listen to everyone who contacts me and I work hard to solve their issues individually. I vow to elevate Ward 3’s needs within city priorities and stand up for Guelph’s goals with upper levels of government.
Transparency
As a former Chair of Audit, transparency is a huge concern of mine. I have supported numerous audits, updates to governance, changes in city policies and funding to change how information is shared over this term. Ward 3 needs detailed information about how Guelph is run and funded, and I will continue to work towards full transparency.

Removing Tents from Downtown Guelph: The Challenges
2026-05-21
Dear Guelph Friends: As there will be a Special Council Meeting coming up in a couple of weeks on the challenges of tents in downtown, homelessness, drug use, and poverty, I thought I might expedite lengthy question periods at our August 28 Council meeting by asking questions via my website. Please note: I have asked these of Guelph Staff, our Police Services Board Chair and by our Chief. I am sure these questions are not exhaustive. In fact, I hope I am not the only one having questions. Those of you who attend this meeting and those of you who
The Answer to Affordable Housing: Smart Development
2026-05-21
Recently, One of the Mayoral candidates has called for a Pro Development Council. I completely reject this. We don’t need a pro nor an anti-development Council. We need a thoughtful council that is willing to engage in Smart Development. What does this comprise? Smart development encourages Inclusive zoning, appropriate land use, and brownfield development. It also considers Guelph’s dependence on Ground Water and what growing to 208,000 by 2050 means. Smart Development must focus on 100% renewable energy in both the short term and the long term; solar panels, home energy storage units, and other elements of renewably produced energy
