Who I Am
Politics are a wild ride. Let's see who shows
their true colours and get the best people sitting
at the council table.
I am a stand for:
Acceptance, inclusion and accessibility.
Protecting green spaces with
natural areas that are well designed.
There are many places to be downtown. And a place to
sit is sometimes what is needed. Especially if we
want people to get out of their cars. I had a spinal
injury in the 80's so I will still
drive, or take the bus, but if I am going to walk
around town, as I do love to do, I will need a place
to rest every so often and I think a lot of other people
need that too. We need to have spaces for people of
all ages to be able to play, to relax and be safe.
Having gentle density work in a way
that facilitates community and
supports the reality of our young families and our aging population.
Supporting efficient growth done
with the least negative impact on surrounding
businesses and residents.
There will be an
Amalgamation Question on your ballot.
Every neighborhood is unique. That's why I am
not in support of amalgamation between Saanich and
Victoria at this time.
I am however, of the belief that looking into how we
can
amalgamate services and how to have the
municipalities work together may be worth your
money. A cost analysis should be done but its
kind of like the question, Which comes first, the
chicken or the egg?
