As you know, I am currently a Councillor working for all of Aurora and am excited to continue to do so.  The Town is moving to a “Ward System”, so for the next election, we will be aligning to a specific Ward.  I have thoroughly enjoyed representing the entire Town of Aurora and am excited to announce that for the next election, I will be campaigning to represent Ward 2 (see map below!).  I have lived in all 4 corners of Aurora, where each neighbourhood has its own character, charm, priorities and concerns.  Regardless of what area of Aurora I represent, I stand united with ALL Aurorans in the love of this great town and will continue to do what I do best – passionately advocate for the betterment of our town in the following key areas: 

• Accommodate an ideal balance between development of attainable housing and preservation, while encouraging green development design standards.
• Support climate adaptation and sustainability by advocating for more active transportation routes, green infrastructure,  and protect our natural capital assets.
• Increase economic development by attracting new industry opportunities, elevate and invest in our arts, culture, and sports tourism strategies, and continue to support our downtown community improvement initiatives.
