THEN A CALLING

A NEIGHBOURHOOD FIRST

Roots in the community

I didn't arrive in Ward 5 with a political agenda. I came here because I recognized its potential and chose to invest in its future. Over time, I have built strong connections across the ward, and remained committed to supporting its continued growth and success. I have planted roots here and I've never looked back.

Building from within

Over the years I've worked alongside residents, businesses, and partners throughout the ward to strengthen the fabric of this community. I have done this through local advocacy, business development, and eight years as Chair of the Ford City Business Improvement Association. I believe that real and meaningful progress is built from listening, collaboration, building trust, and staying in it for the long haul.

Proving what's possible

Through my involvement in local initiatives, including organizing Dropped on Drouillard, I know what this ward is capable of when people believe in it. Ward 5 doesn't need to be discovered, it needs to be championed. It is full of opportunity and strength, and it deserves continued support and thoughtful leadership.

The next step

Running for City Council is the natural extension of everything I've already been doing. Our ward deserves a dedicated and experienced voice at City Hall that comes from genuine experience and a long-term commitment. A voice that reflects the needs of the community and believes in Windsor’s potential.
