Indépendant pour Nanaimo Conseil

Timely action on climate change is imperative to protect our community and is fiscally responsible.

Businesses & Jobs

Artificial Intelligence & Data Centres

We need to make sure that AI Data Centres are not part of the list of approved uses in our zoning bylaw. The community voice needs to be heard when we consider these uses.

Support removing heavy polluters/water users from the uses under our zoning bylaw.

Energy-Efficient Buildings

Retrofitting old buildings to improve insulative properties is an effective action against heat challenges and energy use.

Flooding

Stop approvals in areas we know will flood and decide as a community what steps we are going to take and where act to protect infrastructure against sea level rise and flood events related to extreme rainfall.

Green Space

Healthy natural areas, and watersheds support values as diverse as health and wellness, biodiversity, and storm water retention and attenuation.

I will work to create more parks and conservation areas.

Private Vehicles & Parking

We need to increase capacity for secure bike storage and other alternate modes of transportation in multi family dwellings at at destinations.

Urban Heat

Urban tree canopy, natural spaces, and improved building insulation are necessary to keep our communities cool. We can also look at heat reflective surfaces for roofing and other building materials.

Walking & Cycling

Sidewalks and other active transportation routes need to be expanded to provide our children and everyone with safe alternatives to commute and recreate.

Zoning

I support the initiative to remove certain activities from Industrial zoning to allow oversight and community a say in which industrial activities belong where in our city (do we want garbage incinerators?).

Community Centres, Libraries, Parks, and Other Public Spaces

Sidewalks & Bike Paths

We need to expand our sidewalks and other active transportation infrastructure to give our kids and everyone safe options for getting around.

Until we can improve sidewalks and other active transportation routes we should reduce speeds in neighbourhoods especially near school zones.

Housing & Homelessness

Indigenous-Led Housing

Culturally sensitive housing is an important component to our much needed safe and supportive housing supply.

Reconciliation & Indigenous Nations

Land Title & Governance

I will uphold the Protocol Agreement between the Snuneymuxw First Nation and the City of Nanaimo.

Place Names & Commemorations

Like many places in the world we can honour the original language of this place along with our more recent nomenclature.

Residential Schools

We need to continue to support survivors and overcome the legacy of damage residential schools have caused in our community.

Transit & Getting Around

Private Vehicles & Parking

We need to increase capacity for secure bike storage and other alternate modes of transportation in multi family dwellings at at destinations.
