WHY SHOULD I BE ELECTED?

Change is required at City Hall. As a longtime resident of the ward with my wife and three children, and a firm believer in family values, I bring a proven track record of public service to my community. I will be able to provide full-time and hands-on attention to my ward. I take seriously the responsibility to provide true leadership, accountability and service to my fellow neighbours. I share the concerns of safety, transportation and lack of full city services for our community.
