Candidate Platform: Experienced Governance, Housing Solutions, and Sustainable Growth

"My campaign is rooted in a simple philosophy: leadership means listening to understand, not just to respond. With 10 years of dedicated governance experience at the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) Grey Bruce—including eight years serving as Board Chair—I know how to navigate complex challenges and deliver community-focused results.

My top priorities are to drive smart economic development while directly tackling the housing and care crises gripping our municipality. We urgently need to expand senior living and care options so older residents can age in place, while aggressively pursuing affordable housing solutions. Without housing, we cannot attract or retain the workforce required to sustain our local businesses and services.

By leveraging my strong connections within the business community, I will work to build an economy that works for everyone. Internally, I am committed to fostering a workplace culture where municipal staff feel genuinely supported and encouraged to excel. Together, we can build a transparent, economically vibrant, and deeply collaborative municipality. I ask for your vote on Monday, October 26th."
