My Platform

Roads and Traffic

  • I will continue to advocate for road repairs on our local residential streets such Aylmer Cr., Waverley Cr., Holgate Cr., Woodside Dr., Strand Blvd. and Mona Dr.
  • I will continue to advocate for pedestrian crossings across busy roadways such as Collins Bay Road and also Bayridge Dr.
  • I will support funding in the upcoming budgets to repair our old and cracking pedestrian pathways  

Housing Options

  • Kingston continues to need more moderately-priced apartment rentals that low income to middle income earners can afford; not more $3000+ luxury apartments
  • I will continue to support Co-Operative housing
  • I will support Co-Housing policies and projects
  • I will continue to support opportunities for modular housing projects 
  • There needs to be responsible development in appropriate areas

Protection of Greenspace and Wildlife Habitat

  • Currently, woodlands account for only 7% of the land within the city’s urban area, which is a significant drop from 22% twenty years ago. 
  • I will fight hard to Implement policies into the new 2027 Official Plan from the Natural Heritage Study to protect our wildlife, increase the percentage of woodlands coverage, strengthen the city’s tree bylaw, and add new sustainable tree planting standards
  • Priority wildlife habitat locations must be identified for stewardship and rehabilitation efforts, including purchasing the land or putting an easement on a property
  • A Biodiversity and Pollinator Plan and an Invasive Species Strategy  are needed for the city
  • Our significant woodlands must be protected from urban growth boundary expansion plans
