Why I'm standing
We have a fantastic province and I believe we as a community can build a better future for all of us.
About me
I've lived and worked in our community all my life, I understand people's needs, I have lived and felt their pain just like them, and am a believer in equality. l care about all people.
My priorities
- Three Waters – we must say no to this as a community and make our voices heard!
- Water meters – this will not fix our underground infrastructure it will only more control and expense.
- Infrastructure – let's fix it once and stop duplication of effort not up to standard not paid.
