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.
