I Plan To:

• Ensure we have a mix of housing options consistent with our neighbourhoods and suitable for growth
• Ensure below market and Rent-To-Own options are a part of future development plans
• Factor transportation, geography and amenities into development to achieve the best fit for the neighbourhood
• Respect the environment and natural surroundings of neighbourhoods in development
• Concentrate density near transit and in proximity to major arterials
• Follow the findings of the Coquitlam Housing Needs Report to create 18,000 new housing units by 2031, with 5,500 of those being 3+ bedroom dwellings

My goals for the next 4 years include:

• Working to access Provincial and Federal funding for priority items using my 30 years’ experience obtaining government funding for BC businesses
• Continuing to work with developers to provide amenities such as child care spaces in new builds
• Using the relationships with developers to create childcare spaces and health and medical office spaces in new builds to address the need for more health care professionals including Family Doctors. 
• Working with medical providers to attract Family Doctors and Health Care providers to Coquitlam. My goal is to bring 10 new Family Doctors to Coquitlam in the next 6 years
• Working to bring seniors the information they need to access care options they are entitled to
• Respecting taxpayers dollars when setting taxes and fees. I will work to maintain the balance between affordable access and quality services

I will work to:

• Improve traffic patterns and safety features to keep commuting and working vehicles moving efficiently while ensuring our neighbourhoods are safe for walking, cycling and family traffic
• Improve cycling and pedestrian infrastructure
• Ensure that high growth neighbourhoods have services within reasonable walking distance or are accessible via excellent public transit options
• Increase the number of charging stations for electric vehicles
• Push for expanded West Coast Express service

For the next 4 years I will work to:

• Ensure new facilities for sport and recreation are properly sized and equipped to meet the long term needs of our community
• Begin the process of updating our Master Plan for Sports, Recreation, Parks and Culture. The current Plan is almost 10 years old and ends at 2029
• Continue to attract and support Cultural Diversity in our City
• Continue to attract cultural festivals and events through promotion of the Town Center area
• Improve parking, lighting and safety at Town Center Field 
• Modernize and expand Planet Ice

I will strive to:

• Reduce delays caused by the need for multiple Council decisions to approve new businesses
• Continue to ensure business tax rates are competitive with other Cities
• Maintain the quality infrastructure and amenities that make Coquitlam a great place to do business
• Take advantage of Coquitlam’s proximity to major arterial routes to attract new businesses 
• Attract small and medium sized enterprises (SME’s) to Coquitlam. SME’s account for over 80% of all employees in Canada

I believe we can:

• Work to achieve the Greenhouse Gas reduction targets in our Environmental Sustainability Plan
• Protect green spaces and the tree canopy 
• Increase availability of charging stations and charging infrastructure 
• Work to increase awareness of green waste and recycling programs to reduce waste heading for the landfill
• Work with other levels of government to ensure our streams and waterways are kept clean and vibrant

I will work to:

• Align the City of Coquitlam with the goals of local Indigenous Peoples 
• Continue the relationship we have with the Kwikwetlam First Nation to achieve its stated priorities regarding infrastructure, land use and commercial opportunities
• Always remain guided by the principles of Respect, Recognition and Reconciliation
