Community safety requires more than just law enforcement. It requires a multifaceted approach that includes proactive crime prevention, robust emergency preparedness and response, and fostering a strong, connected community. The City of Calgary needs to invest in neighbourhood watch programs, support our first responders with the resources they need, and create safe public spaces and public transportation that everyone can enjoy. By working together—City Hall, Calgary Police Service/By-Law, Community Associations and Residents—we can build a city where everyone feels secure, knowing their streets and parks are safe and their families are protected.

The City of Calgary needs to implement a fiscally conservative approach to its municipal planning - one that prioritizes prudence and financial responsibility in government operations. We need to ensure the long-term sustainability of The City of Calgary's finances by avoiding excessive debt and maintaining a balanced budget. The cost of living has increased for all Calgarians (from seniors on fixed incomes to individuals, families and students managing their budgets) and every dollar counts. Calgarians work hard for their money and don’t want to see their tax dollars wasted.
I will bring a fiscally conservative approach to City Council: one that focuses on efficient use of taxpayer dollars, minimizing costs, and ensuring funds are directed toward essential services and infrastructure projects that have the highest return on investment.

Effective public transit is not just about efficiency. Fundamentally, it's about providing a safe and secure experience for all users. Safe public transportation requires a multi-faceted strategy with visible security measures, enhanced infrastructure, and community-focused initiatives. This includes deploying a balanced combination of transit officers and community outreach teams, improving design and lighting in and around bus stops and LRT stations. Also, leveraging technology like live and real-time surveillance to respond to incidents is necessary to ensure the safety of all pasesngers.
WORKING WITH CHILDREN AND YOUTH IN WARD 8
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
I've volunteered to provide children and youth with opportunities that they otherwse would not have. Here, I am conducting the National Anthem at a Roughnecks game. A long standing member of the JUNIOR LEAGUE, I've volunteered at homeless shelters like Brenda's House and the Mustard Seed. Blanket Rezoning does not help
AGAINST CALGARY'S BLANKET REZONING
In Real Estate as a Realtor specializing in Ward 8, I have not seen any improvements in affordability due to the Blanket Rezoning. If anything, I have seen the opposite. Blanket rezoning has given developers a green light to charge top dollar and increase rent. Low income subsidized housing when strategically planned can create affordability and build community. Blanket rezoning is a bandaid not a solution.
PROTECTING CHILDREN, SENIORS, MOST VULNERABLE
As a school teacher, it is not responsible for a city to remove requirements for public hearings, limit appeal rights and reclassify discretionary uses. Especially when considering crime, transparency, affordability, respecting the public voice and protecting our most vulnerable citizens.
WARD 8 COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTOR & LEADER
As well as volunteering for youth and the homeless, I have volunteered on The Board of Directors at the Glencoe Club, The Calgary Stampede's Western Legacy Awards Committee and the Community Association of Parkhill / Stanley Park. I also sat on 2 working groups in Ward 8, opposed to City Hall's Blanket Rezoning.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I respectfully acknowledge with gratitude that we are located on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Nations, which include the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai. We also acknowledge the Tsuut’ina and Stoney Nakoda First Nations, in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta as well as the Metis Region 3 and all the other nations that are the home of stories, history, languages, cultures and traditions. We are grateful for the traditional Keepers of Knowledge, Elders still with us and those who have passed. We recognize the land as an act of truth and reconciliation with respect to those whose territory we reside on.
