Welcome to my Blogpage!

As your Regional Councillor, I've started this blogpage because it's important to me to try and stay connected with my residents. Through this page, my annual newsletters and Community Idea Exchange & Open House, I strive to create a dialogue with residents on topics and issues that are currently of interest or concern at City and Regional Councils.

We should all be concerned by the low voter turn out at election time and I believe that part of the problem is that people are not informed or engaged with their local government. I hope you find the content of value, and please feel free to post a comment or call me personally and chat! I'd love to hear your suggestions!

"I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honorable, to be compassionate. It is, after all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all." – Leo Rosten.

Community Idea Exchange on
Smart Growth & Sustainability,
OCTOBER 17TH, 2009




Another Community Idea Exchange Success!
More organizations than ever attended to inform residents on the latest topics of debate or general interest and provide information.
Eric Novak, CHEX TV and personally trained by Al Gore lead a discussion on Climate Change and the Green Economy. David Donnelly discussed the report “Places to Sprawl” by Environmental Defence which is critical of Durham Region’s conformity plans to the award-winning Provincial Growth Plan - “Places to Grow”.
Traditionally, everyone enjoyed my segment called “Your 2 minutes of fame” where each group showcase their activities in the community. Everything from City Advisory Committees, Environmental Groups, Heritage, Community Gardening, and social agencies like the United Way and more. Students gain helpful overviews on volunteer opportunities to collect those community hours too!
