What are some issues that you would like to stand for in your role as Councillor, and why are these issues important to you?

Common Sense approach to developing and managing our roads. Before beginning any road repair or construction, make sure the communication, gas, sewer and water lines are checked. Why waste money by tearing up the road one year and then the following year having to redo the same road again. No brown water please Street light need to be checked more frequently for faults and better synchronizing timing. Cost effective and timely snow removal. No New Taxes - I am against the 1% Municipal Tax. Parks where did all the neighbourhood parks go?
