Oakville has seen enormous growth and change over the past 28 years. As a resident I have seen improvements. As your Councilor I have demonstrated a consistent commitment to doing my best to represent your interests throughout these developments.
‘Putting people first’ has been and continues to be my priority. Through public meetings, telephone calls, emails and in person discussions I have remained accessible and open to listening to what Ward 1 residents want, finding the answers that you need, and doing my best to put those priorities into action.
Enacting change does not always come quickly. Working on the Town’s “Livable Oakville” Official Plan for example, was a multi-year project that included significant opportunity for public input to ensure a positive outcome: time required to gain a full and thorough understanding of priorities for our community. Council and Town of Oakville staff will be guided by this plan for the next 4 years. Your continued public involvement is critical to ensuring “Liveable Oakville’s” success.
“Livable Oakville” is just one on a list of achievements that I have been proud to be part of during my terms in office. Please take time to tour my website to find out more about how I have demonstrated my commitment to the interests of all Ward 1 residents.
There is still work to be done.
I will continue my work on greening and environmental development and protection, greater control on land development, seeking funding for provincial and federal grants, and supporting senior transportation and recreation, arts/culture and diversity interests. Thank you for helping me to continue to put people first in our ward.
