✦ My Plans for Ward 3

Six practical priorities for Georgetown North.

These are the priorities I’m bringing into this campaign; practical things a Local Councillor can push forward, improve, and help make happen. They’ll keep getting more specific as I knock on doors and hear from people across Georgetown North.

```
1

Make Local Government Easier to Understand

  • Short, simple “How to participate” videos on delegations, Council meetings, and other Town processes
  • Clear updates on development, roadwork, and major decisions + minimum of 2 annual Ward 3 Town Halls
  • Explain the choices Council is considering before major budget decisions
  • After important votes, tell residents where I stood, how I voted, and why
Why it matters: people want to be involved. Local government shouldn’t feel confusing or closed, and residents shouldn’t have to dig to understand the decisions being made on their behalf.
2

Spend Carefully. Plan for the Long Term.

I won’t promise to cut taxes before seeing the choices in front of Council. I will promise to scrutinize the budget, ask hard questions about what we’re spending, and be clear with residents about the choices I make.

I’ll work for:

  • A careful, line-by-line review of the Town budget with Council
  • Finding savings where we can without cutting services residents rely on
  • Looking at the long-term cost of decisions — including when delaying maintenance today could cost taxpayers more tomorrow
  • Making sure new investments consider the ongoing cost of operating, maintaining, and eventually replacing them
  • Clear explanations of what I advocated for during the budget process and why I ultimately voted for or against the budget
Why it matters: families are already dealing with rising costs, and the Town needs to treat every tax dollar carefully. But keeping costs manageable also means making responsible long-term decisions — not simply putting off necessary work and leaving residents with a bigger bill later.
3

Support Local Businesses — Start to Finish

  • “Thinking of opening a business?” early check-in service
  • Help navigate permits, timelines, and Town processes
  • Personally connect with businesses across Ward 3
Why it matters: local businesses are the backbone of our community and they need real support.
4

Housing That Lets People Stay

  • Support additional residential units and gentle density
  • Explore opportunities to use Town-owned land for mixed-income housing

Focus on:

  • seniors aging in place
  • young people starting out
Why it matters: people shouldn’t have to leave the community they love because there isn’t a home here that works for the next stage of their life.
5

Practical Solutions for Getting Around

  • Explore on-demand / rideshare-style options for seniors and youth
  • Look at partnerships to help fill transportation gaps, including the loss of local cab services
  • Push for clearer communication about traffic, roadwork, closures, and changes
Why it matters: getting around shouldn’t be this hard, especially if you don’t drive. Practical transportation options help people stay independent and connected.
6

Bring Back a Youth Council + Celebrate Young People

  • Re-establish a Mayor’s Youth Action Committee (or Halton Hills Youth Council)
  • Create annual Youth Awards:
    • arts
    • sports
    • community involvement
    • leadership
  • Recognize businesses and mentors who support young people
Why it matters: young people should feel like they belong here, that their ideas matter, and that there’s a reason to build their future in Halton Hills.
