Working On Your Behalf for the Next 3 Years

In the past three years as your Ward 2 Councillor, we have worked together to accomplish a great deal. There is much more that we can do in the area of social, economical and environmental sustainability.


My vision for the next three years includes the following:

  • Increase electronic traffic driver feedback signs.
  • Support volunteer speed watch programs.
  • Increase safety through education and enforcement.

 Promote increased community involvement:
  • Encourage the creation of neighbourhood associations and community gardens.
  • Park revitalization and multi generational utilization.
  • Increase playgrounds accessibility.


Municipal
Encourage and Support:
  • Balanced sustainable growth of the County.
  • Implementation of an organizational efficiency audit.
  • Measures that increase transparency and accountability of Council and Administration.
  • Develop a strong customer service focus and culture.
  • Continued emphasis on youth engagement.
  • Collaborate with business to create a vital and diverse business community.
  • Increased housing options for an aging population.
  • Increased assistance for seniors living in the community.
  • Increased emphasis on accessibility.
  • Implementation of the light efficient community policy.       


Capital Region
  • Stay focused on maintaining our leadership position in the Capital Region.
  • Collaborate with the 24 neighbouring municipal partners to plan for sustainable regional growth.


Provincial
  • Build a positive synergistic relationship with the provincial government.
  •  Lobby for full development of the 23-acre hospital site, beginning with the completion of phase 2 by 2015.
  • Demand underground powerlines.
  • Champion the building of a new courthouse by 2015.

  1. Roxanne, good on you for putting this in writing! It's a great benchmark that we can look back on. I like that it's succinct yet comprehensive.

    I'd be interested in what sorts of outcomes you're looking for.
