Indépendant pour Victoria Conseil
We need to build a Victoria for the future. We have an immediate housing crisis, on top of a global climate crisis that is the defining issue of our time. We need to tackle the challenges of the future by planning our city today.

Work towards achieving the province’s target of a 50% share of trips being made by walking, cycling and transit by 2050.

Raison de la candidature
soumis par le candidat ou son équipe
The best way for me to contribute to our city's future is to help guide its development. There has been a lack of enthusiasm for municipal politics & that’s due to a lack of vision for the city. I have a long term vision for what Victoria can become.
