  • Ensure there are more parks for our younger children to play and engage in sports programs simultaneously.

    Replace the small $50K skatepark fund for something more meaningful that won't just be for resurfacing. Like what the youth want.

    Pushing for more community festivals, promoting engagement from all local groups to work together.
