This was and remains to be a number 1 concern. With the growing interest rates, inflation and housing costs, 9 out of 10 young families don't see an opportunity to own a home.

This was and remains to be a number 1 concern. With the growing interest rates, inflation and housing costs, 9 out of 10 young families don't see an opportunity to own a home. As such, I recognize and support appropriate intensification around the MTSA area to create these opportunities. As a municipality, we should aim to streamline a housing plan that will help accelerate building permits to help meet the demands.
Taxpayers deserve fiscal accountability. How we choose to spend your tax money today will affect our future generations. As our Town grows, we need to ensure we strike a balance between spending and saving for future projects.

Crime Prevention & public safety are also top of mind. With the rise in car thefts and fraud.I am committed to hosting Crime Prevention sessions in partnership with the York Regional Police. Topics will vary from senior fraud, home invasions, human trafficking, crime portal access and more. I am committed to supporting appropriate government policies that help decrease crime and overall public safety.
Let's protect and respect what we have for many generations to come. Diversify our urban canopy for best carbon capturing qualities and plant less invasive species. Council has supported my Climate focused motions which has led to many green initiatives, such as a Climate Lens, Green Development Standards. and protecting Natural Heritage lands.
Mental and physical health are definitely important issues that the community has expressed as a priority. We need to provide more education, awareness & mental health support resources. As such, there are resources on the town website my motion has made easier for the community to access. Greater funding from other levels of government are still needed.
Because the public deserves to know. Freedom of information, speech, choices and democracy are ethics I stand by. I do not support censorship intervention by any government.
This is a basic service we pay a lot of tax to have done. Let's take some time to evaluate our efficiencies such as; in house staff vs pricy external contractors, fleet assessment, re-evaluate our procurement process, to give flexibility and more choice.
Let's finds ways to attract small to large sized business to create meaningful jobs and keep economic dollars in Aurora. I support the Emerging Aurora Project and encourage business to become a member of the Aurora Chamber of Commerce.
We are very fortunate to have such a deep history and rich culture. I believe in respecitng people for their individual humanity. Let's cherish our heritage, embrace our mixed cultures and continue to welcome others.
Let's keep Aurorans active in Aurora. It's time to form partnerships and invest in recreation responsibly for our future. Refine our Sports Master Plan by conducting a SWOT analysis of our current fields to help identify our inventory, pressures and needs. Engage in sport tourism opportunities when presented for economic benefits to the Town..
With intensification on the rise, there is a real need to evaluate technologies & routing opportunities. Metrolinx parking expansions and property acquisitions cannot happen soon enough. The Region needs to be on board to help alleviate the Yonge/Wellington intersection pressure. We must advocate to the Province for an exchange at the 404 and St.John's sideroad in the 10 year plan.
Council has worked hard with staff, consultants and residents to establish stable neighbourhood maps along with balanced zoning guidelines. This also led to the development of new urban design guidelines that encourage neighbourhood conformity. https://www.aurora.ca/en/business-and-development/stable-neighbourhood-study.aspx
Aurora will have three new hotels soon. This means more opportunity to boost our economy by hosting more events, sports tournaments, business conferences, arts and culture.
