Candidates for councillor-at-large

I have lived in Kenora all of my life. I have raised my family here and have had the blessing that they too want to raise their family in Kenora. I have two sons, a great daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren.

I have spent 25 years serving on the Keewatin Patricia District School Board (KPDSB). I have worked on government committees on Ontario Public School Boards' Association (OPSBA). I have sat as vice-chair for 15 years and chair of the KPDSB for 8 years.

My three pillars that I believe in are:

  1. Community safety
  2. Building a stronger community
  3. Being accountable an accessible to the people of Kenora

Being a team player is the key driver in bringing the voice of the community to the table.

I am a lifelong resident of Kenora.

Some of the skills I possess but not limited to are;

  • Knowledgeable of local issues                                                             
  • relentless
  • strong communication skills                                                                  
  • team player
  • ability to make tough decisions                                                            
  • resilience
  • a strong voice                                                                                      
  • confident
  • integrity                                                                                                
  • strong values

Some of my priorities will be to make our City a Safer Community by working with the Police and other Health Care Service providers to get the costs to a more manageable level.  I will strive to ensure that all infrastructure is maintained properly. My vision is to entice developers to come and set up and establish large new manufacturing plants and small business ventures here, New developers will help rebuild our LOST tax base we had prior to the Paper Mill and Saw Mills closing up shop.

I am hoping and will strongly advocate for more transparency with City Council decisions when practical, keeping my constituents informed as much as possible. 

I will work collaboratively with the Mayor, fellow Councillors and City Staff to yield the best results for our future as your voice on Council.
