A campaign of silent action and… doors… all of the doors. You’ve not heard much about what I have been doing, more so about what I am hearing or about conversations and my own thoughts. How those thoughts are shared with those I have met at the door. I am not one to typically take everything I have done and flaunt it to the world to get some kind of recognition. I am not doing these things as a political stunt. I am doing it because that is who I am and how I honour my commi

Week 4- Are you crazy? Do you think you have thick skin? Week 4 was spent finishing County Rd 10, County Rd 11, County Rd 18 and County Rd 24 as well as Mowbray, Crowes, Thompson, Eames, and Miller. I won’t lie. It was busy. Every night I went from 4 until dark. I had many conversations ranging in many of the topics I have covered already. What stuck out most this week was a story about the development process and cost for an individual trying to own the ditch on their prop

Lets address it- Roads, Water and Waste water, Development, Budget and Growth Week 3 was spent to the South East of the Ward- Walmsley, Outlet, Royal, Lighthall. And ended with part of Cty Rd 11. Water and Wastewater. Do we need that size of project? Are we having the projected growth now? What are the other options? What do the contingencies look like? These are all questions myself and many residents have had when discussing the proposed Water and Wastewater project. This

Why are you running? Week 2 was spent in some much cooler evenings, thank goodness. I spent my time on the west side of the valley, and the south western quarter of the ward. Some highlights were Salmon Point Rd, Fennel Cres and Welbanks Rd. The big question of the week was Why are you running? I was asking myself that. Mostly trying to put into words something I felt I naturally fell into. With my education background in politics I’ve been asked before if I want to be a pol

I might be a little behind on these installments, but alas that is the realities of a busy campaign. The first week of campaigning started in the Valley. It was still warm, and very randomly humid, which certainly slowed me down. I felt like I was getting my sea legs in terms of how to approach people at the doors. I think I went through a few variations of my introduction before landing on something I felt was open ended. I wanted everyone to feel like they could ask me any

What are your thoughts on Base 31 and Cork and Vine developments? My biggest question when it comes to large developments is where are these people coming from? There are hundreds of homes with lovely property for sale in the price range of these new homes, they sit on the market for a while. I believe if we want locals to be able to afford homes or newly developed homes we need other reasons for them to stay, especially with the increasing cost of living. We need stable jobs

What is your favourite part of the County? During elections we often find ourselves focusing on what needs to be better, dialling in on the negatives. Yet, if living here was simply just negative you would not have such an engaged population. Things that are positive can often get forgotten and become overlooked in the pursuit of improvement. So, during a visit to Prince Edward Learning Centre, I wanted to take some time to focus on the positive. I opened the floor to discus
