What I'll fight for on council

Four priorities, written plainly, so you can hold me to them.

Priority 1

Enhanced public transportation

Buses that show up, routes that connect, and a real plan for GO service.

Push for higher-frequency York Region Transit service on Ward 1 corridors, with reliable evening and weekend runs.
Fight for expanded GO Train service at East Gwillimbury Station and better local connections to the platform.
Add sheltered, lit, accessible stops so waiting for a bus in February isn't a hardship.
On-demand transit that actually works for rural pockets of the ward.

Priority 2

Safe routes, real fields, and places for kids to be kids year-round.

Complete sidewalk and safe-crossing gaps on every route to school in Ward 1.
Invest in playgrounds, splash pads, courts, and all-season fields — including maintenance budgets, not just ribbon cuttings.
Expand affordable after-school and weekend recreation programming close to home.
Traffic calming near schools and parks, prioritized by where families report the biggest risks.

Priority 3

Age in place with dignity: accessible spaces, transport, and good food.

Accessible, barrier-free upgrades to community centres, washrooms, benches, and walking paths.
A dedicated seniors' hub with programming, warm meals, and social connection.
Support for meal delivery and community kitchen partnerships so no senior in Ward 1 goes without proper nourishment.
Senior-friendly transit options and snow-clearing priority on key walking routes.

Priority 4

Faster permits, clearer answers, and tax dollars that go further.

Service standards with published wait times for permits, inspections, and service requests.
One online portal to report an issue and track it to completion.
Line-by-line review of contracts and overhead to reinvest savings in front-line service.
Plain-language budget reporting so residents can see exactly where the money goes.
