Profile

As a former Police officer of 31 years and vice chair of the Durham police service board ensuring our community is a safe and secure place for all of us to raise our children and grandchildren in a healthy safe environment is a priority for me. Honoured to represent you.

I am extremely excited about Pickering's future. We are on the verge of unprecedented growth that needs careful management and someone who is experienced and knowledgeable with a proven track record to ensure our vision is upheld, and that we stay on course to attract business and jobs.

Taxes ; With Durham Live we will benefit with $20,000,000.00 a year in taxes and royalties and thousands of jobs. Attracting business to our innovation corridor/Seaton and our downtown will take the pressure off the residential tax base.

The proposed development of an 8 storey condo in our nautical village is a major concern. If approved it could make room for other unwanted development in this area. I am proud to be fighting this proposal with the community. I passed a motion in council for a new visionary study of this area to ensure it retains its unique character.
