Election Questionnaire
1. Why did you decide to run in the 2010 Winnipeg election?
It has been my honour to represent the citizens of St. Charles Ward at Winnipeg City Hall for the last four years. I am proud of the progress that council has made during this term, and I feel that we need to continue moving Winnipeg in the right direction.
2. What experience will you bring to complement your role as councillor?
Resident of the area for 48 years. Grew up, raised my family, ran my businesses in St. Charles Ward.
10 Years Experience as President/CEO of the Assiniboia Chamber of Commerce.
4 Years as City Councillor (serving on Winnipeg's Committee on Protection and Community Services & Mayor’s Seniors’ Advisory Committee among others).
3. What are the major issues you would like to stand for and why did you choose these issues?
In consultation with the residents of St. Charles Ward, I have the following priorities:
Serving seniors through the Mayor's Seniors' Advisory Committee, construction of affordable housing for seniors, sidewalk maintenance, snow clearing and recreation.
Repairing & improving our roads, back-lanes, community clubs & playgrounds.
Supporting Winnipeg's Police Officers, Firefighters and Paramedics by giving them the tools they need to keep us safe!
Working WITH the business community to grow our city, create jobs and develop new opportunities like CentrePort.
Voting to keep your property taxes low. Our friends and neighbours on fixed incomes CANNOT afford to pay more property taxes.
I WILL NOT VOTE TO RAISE YOUR PROPERTY TAX RATE !
4. Is there anything in particular you would like to change in our city? In your ward?
Greater availability of affordable seniors’ housing in West Winnipeg.
Change city policy on gravel back-lanes to allow funding for appropriate maintinance.
1% of Manitoba’s PST revenue dedicated to road and bridge repair.
5. Do you have any other comments regarding your candidacy?
Experience counts. I have dedicated the last four years of my life to dealing with the serious issues facing the City of Winnipeg and St. Charles residents, and I will continue to do so if you support me with your vote on election day!
