My family has lived in Lions Bay for over 40 years - and in that time I have partnered, parented, befriended, mentored, grieved, served, volunteered and governed in this community.
I have been part of its growth, successes, unimaginable tragedies, and everything in between.
And I can say with certainty, I am committed to the future of Lions Bay and I look forward to continued years of public service.

I promised you all that I would reach out to our community and remain engaged and this page is just that-- openness.
I continue to hike with our community's hiking group, record and share exciting news whether it's a resident's new born, proud grandparents or local unions. I welcome new residents who have moved from afar, or assist residents or families who need our help.
I will continue to listen to other points of view and will provide facts about events that impact you.

Results are not measured
by the words spoken, but by a successful track record and by money saved for our community.
I am a direct, no nonsense
kind of person and I can be relied upon to steer through municipal storms and the past 4 years have been very stormy indeed.
I will continue to insist as a council, we are responsible, accountable and stand up for our Community Charter and the policies enacted to ensure each member of our community has a voice.

Climate Action is important to me.
Learning, evolving and pivoting is part of good leadership . In 2020 I, along with council and many citizens in our community recognized formally that climate change was impacting Lions Bay in serious ways.
We initiated the Climate Action Committee to provide focus to Council to discuss and plan for the impacts of climate change; wildfire preparedness, water shortages and future Provincial density pressures to name a few.
We need to work together and push for good value for the tax dollars of our citizens. That is our most important role as Council.

I will continue to be...

Municipal fiscal responsibility is, in essence, THE main role for us, your council members.
Simply put - a group of people you elect are responsible to manage your tax dollars in ways that meet your needs.
I remain committed to share what matters to you and help you remain abreast on how your dollars are being used, I have spent the past 6
Municipal fiscal responsibility is, in essence, THE main role for us, your council members.
Simply put - a group of people you elect are responsible to manage your tax dollars in ways that meet your needs.
I remain committed to share what matters to you and help you remain abreast on how your dollars are being used, I have spent the past 6 months communicating with you directly about the financial metrics of the past 4 years and I want to work to return our community to financial stability.
I can only do that as your next Mayor so I am asking for your vote in the upcoming Municipal election.
Vote for financial security, true transparency, and a return to good governance.
