For the past 4 years Coquitlam has seen an unprecedented level of development and growth. I have spoken with residents across Coquitlam and many are concerned about the effect this is having on our city. They are concerned about the strain being put on our roads, parks, schools, healthcare system and local environment. I believe we need to listen to residents and slow down to a moderate level of development and growth.

Slowing down doesn't mean failing to address housing affordability. It means building housing that actually meets the needs of Coquitlam residents. That means more 3 bedroom units for families, more affordable units for first time buyers and seniors, and more dedicated rental units to take the pressure off the cost of rent.

My other top priorities are: Investing in Parks, Sports & Recreation, Prioritizing Our Environment and Careful City Spending.
