Managing Nanaimo’s growth for affordability, sustainability, good-paying jobs and while caring for others.

A stronger local economy that makes smarter use of our employment lands, works for family-supporting jobs, and doesn’t forget our natural beauty and greenspaces. Our future is in green tech, blue tech, red tech (health care), advanced manufacturing, tourism and integration of our existing partnerships at the port, airport, ferries, transportation, post-secondary and schools without forgetting what’s already here

Affordable housing, including working for options in the missing middle, supportive housing, long-term care, co-housing, co-operative, ground-oriented housing, and density where we can support it

Safer, more connected communities close to people’s daily needs, with tree canopies, parks and greenspaces and good transportation options

Thoughtful, accountable leadership that brings in business case justification at the front end, not after committing the public’s funds; service standards with tracking; balanced scorecards; and improved community engagement and communication, so you know what’s working

A city with heart that cares, fosters inclusive public spaces, supports arts and culture, works for more health care options within the City’s mandate, advocates for a cath lab and patient tower, supports food security, and builds a Nanaimo that feels like home for everyone
