Businesses & Jobs

Artificial Intelligence & Data Centres

AI has its place as a tool. But I will not be supporting any data centres in Port Moody.

Business Permitting

We need to make Port Moody one of the most desirable places to open a business. Streamline permitting, and provide assistance to new business operators to get them up and running as soon as possible.

Economic Growth

Businesses need certainty. They need to know where they can establish long term roots. Demolition clauses prevent that. I want them to know where they can set up and invest in our community.

Tourism

The City of the Arts. Let's invest in this name, and continue to evolve how we provide arts related programming, support, and events in the community with bringing everyone to the table for solutions.

Climate Change, Heat, Fires, & the Environment

Green Space

Expand parks and invest in local playgrounds and green spaces so that you can enjoy your local neighbourhood outdoor areas without feeling the need to get in a car.

Private Vehicles & Parking

Ensure that local businesses have enough parking to attract customers but also make sure that there are active transportation and transit options as well.

Walking & Cycling

Continue to find ways to invest in walking and cycling paths. No different than the significant investment in our shoreline boardwalk and multi use path over the past term.

Budgeting

Focusing on the core services, stewarding every dollar spent, and making sure you get the best value.

Good Governance

Teamwork, Collaboration, & Kindness. You can't achieve anything on council on your own. You need to work together for the best of all Port Moody

Long-Term Plan

Continue to plan for the future density that is being forced by the provincial housing bills and ensure that our infrastructure and amenities keep pace.

Public Engagement

Transparent decision making. Being an independent councillor means decisions are made at the council table, not the kitchen table of a political party. Independent representation is the only way to go.

Youth Engagement

I am excited we have expanded our Youth Focus committee and added a youth spot on all our civic committees. I am looking forward to hearing how well these new positions do.

Public Safety & Policing

Police Funding

ensure that our local law enforcement remains a private municipal police force and is prepared to keep our community one of the safest in the country

Public Spaces & Services

Fitness & Sports Facilities

Continue to invest in our rec offerings and facilities as we grow.

Green Space

Expand parks and invest in local playgrounds and green spaces so that you can enjoy your local neighbourhood outdoor areas without feeling the need to get in a car.

Health Infrastructure

Continue to advocate to the province for a meaningful expansion and investment in our local Eagle Ridge Hospital.

Public Washrooms

Continue to analyze where there is a great need and improve facilities at neighbourhood parks.

Sidewalks & Bike Paths

Optimize active transportation options while ensuring that one road user group is not punished or prioritized over another. It is possible to improve roadways for all users.

Raison de la candidature

soumis par le candidat ou son équipe
I am seeking re-election to continue bringing forward initiatives that make a difference in your everyday life. Putting Port Moody Residents First.. Always

Port Moody has been home for 27 years. I went to school here, met my wife Jessica at Golden Spike Days, bought our first home in Newport Village, and today we’re raising our two beautiful daughters here. This community means so much to my family, and it’s why I’ve worked hard to be one of your most visible and accessible councillors.

For four years I’ve served on Council, focusing on practical solutions, and bringing teamwork, collaboration and kindness to City Hall.

I'm was proud to introduce a residents first priority registration for recreation programs, championed family-friendly housing and minimum unit sizes, and brought forward the IOCO/CPKC overpass widening project which is expected to reduce travel times between Moray Street and Suter Brook by up to 40% when completed in 2027. I’ve also focused on fiscal restraint and responsible spending.

In the community I’ve coached lacrosse for 17 years and supported local small businesses. Jessica and I also received the 2022 Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year Award.

I love this city and I believe I can continue to make a positive impact. Our residents should have a say in our future, a strong advocate at the council table, and a collaborator who can work with elected officials across the region to solve problems.

I am proud to be that councillor.

I’m asking for your support, and your vote for a second term. Let’s keep moving our community forward and keep putting Port Moody residents first, always.
