Looking Ahead
When people tell you what they want to do, be sure to ask them to show you what they've done.
Improve the Budget process by capping tax increases at the rate of municipal inflation. This will help to keep taxes low while preserving vital public services and avoiding the cancellation of planned capital investments in Ward 15.
Finish Capital Projects underway &Â planned.
Establish a new 3700 square foot, two vehicle EMS Station adjacent to the Police and Fire Dispatch Compound.
Institute a hiring freeze, except for Emergency Services (Police, Fire, EMSÂ and long-term care).
Continued opposition to any Stormwater Fee that fails to exempt working farms.
Continue to listen to the community and work together to increase traffic safety on our roads and where we live. No one knows where these measures are needed better than the people already living there.
Continue to advocate for the elimination of the 7am To 7pm Carlisle Road Truck Route as it is a significant safety issue.
Place a higher emphasis at City Hall on the need for road replacement and maintenance and confirm the new pothole protocol.
Engage the community in the forthcoming review of Memorial Park. Fight to deliver a fully accessible playground guaranteeing play access to ALL children.
Complete Parkside Hills Park and the Agro Park splash pad.
Seek to expand the Flamborough Municipal Service Centre hours to a full five-day schedule and open our local Ward Councillor Office for a second day each week.
Maintain and expand our Ward 15 Community Council to ensure ongoing local involvement and response to community concerns.
Increase connectivity to Aldershot GO by expanding the HSR 18 Mountaineer route into East Waterdown.
Continued commitment to respond to all constituent emails and phone calls within 24 hours.
