MY Platform

---

Mine has been a significant “volunteer career” before my appointment to Council in 2018. Involved with community committees, advocating for citizens and neighborhoods and a voice for PAC associations.

A 4th generation North Vancouverite, my sons were raised in Lynn Valley and are proud of their heritage. I don't want to be the last generation of my family that can afford to live here. Among my platform issues, I define “affordable housing” as attainable housing tied to income.

I am proud to have served on a number of committees during my term:

· Finance & Audit Committee

· Property Tax Parcel Roll

· Commissioner with North Vancouver Museum & Archives Commission (MONOVA) 

· Commissioner with North Vancouver Recreation & Culture

·  Advisory Oversight Committee. 

 I support forward looking decisions and as an Accountant I am judicious in applying measurement skills – analyzing situations, active listening and taking a collaborative approach to deliver effective solutions.
 

 I will maintain my strong committment on:· 

Community Voices – I am listening·

Housing – diverse, “attainable” housing tied to income 

Transportation – need innovative solutions to the gridlock and safe routes for all forms of transportation· 

Infrastructure – must catch up to our growth and be maintained or replaced· 

Development – expedite our communities needs, and pay for itself  · 

Fiscal Sustainability – pursue cost savings, review revenue streams, municipal charges 

Environmental Sustainability – enforce current regulations, protect parklands and wildlife, continue to develop, and implement climate change strategies
