When I think about Saanich I am reminded how lucky I am to have grown up here. We chose to raise our kids here because of the great neighbourhoods, schools, parks and career opportunities.

But people are telling me that what they love about Saanich is slipping away: Young professionals are leaving because they can’t afford to live here. Pensioners are struggling to make ends meet. Parents worry about their kids getting home safely from school. Heatwaves and floods have people fearful about the impacts of climate change.

We can't solve the challenges we're facing when we're divided. As a Councillor, I worked hard to bring people together and took the time to listen. 

As your mayor, unity will be my priority. We need to restore trust in decision-making. And find solutions that make life better for everyone.

Saanich needs leadership that understands how to build on our strengths to create the future we all want.

Let’s work together to ensure what we love about Saanich doesn’t continue to slip away. 

Let’s build a stronger Saanich, together.
