How I'll Make Decisions​
"I believe the best outcomes come from listening first, planning thoughtfully, and working together. "
My approach is to balance community character, financial responsibility, environmental sustainability, and accessibility—not as competing priorities, but as connected principles that help West Vancouver remain a community where people can thrive at every stage of life.
Listen to residents before reaching conclusions.​
Consider long-term impacts, not just today's challenges.
Work collaboratively to find balanced, practical solutions.
Public land is one of our community's greatest assets.
Every decision about it should begin with one question:
How can it best serve the community?
Shaping Our Future
The following focus areas reflect my belief that West Vancouver can preserve what makes it special while preparing thoughtfully for the future. Together, they provide a framework for addressing many of the issues residents consistently tell us matter most—including transportation, housing, community character, environmental sustainability, accessibility, and quality of life.
-
Public land is one of our community's greatest assests.
-
Used strategically, public land can help create housing, community amenities, and public spaces that strengthen West Vancouver for generations.
-
Good stewardship means understanding those connections and making decisions that reflect our shared values.
Unlock Public Land for Community Benefit
-
​​​We don't just preserve character—we design for it.
- Good design isn't cosmetic; it influences accessibility, environmental performance, long-term maintenance costs, and how people experience their neighbourhood.
- That applies to everything from homes and commercial buildings to streets, sidewalks, parks, pathways, and public spaces.
​
Champion Great Community Design
-
​​​Support a community where people can live, learn, work, connect, and age in place with dignity.
-
Recognize that housing, transportation, parks, recreation, arts and culture, community spaces, and health services are interconnected.
-
While each may progress at its own pace, decisions should consider how they work together to create a community that serves people well throughout every stage of life.
