Our family has been involved with public service for as long as I can remember. My wife and I have instilled these qualities in our children. Now that our children are both in university and are successfully commencing their respective career paths, I want to work for you.
As Ward 7 rapidly grows we need to focus on a balanced development, keeping public safety - especially speeding and theft, a top priority. We need to work together as a community to improve our Ward.
Being experienced in the management and finance sectors, I will ensure to negotiate contracts, and balance books in good faith. Over the years I have continued to improve my skills by utilizing my spare time enrolled in various legal courses, to get a better understanding of contract law, and conduct legal research to analyze and summarize documents. I will use my skill set to fact check and review contracts, and find solutions to improve and eliminate inefficiencies.
On Monday, October 24th I want to be your Town Councillor!

-
Ward 7 has been our family’s home for the past nine years, and I’m very passionate about uniting the community through initiatives such as annual Earth Week cleanups.
-
I will provide a non-partisan and no-nonsense voice of reason at council that reflects the views of our community.
-
I’m a hands on individual — I will be there when and where my constituents need me
-
Our ward has a wealth of diversity that should be celebrated. Decisions for our ward should be made in consultation with principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion — which I will do.
-
With a rapidly growing ward, I will liaise between council members, local MPPs, and our school trustee to ensure that our educational facilities match this growth.
-
Green spaces are critical for healthy communities. We must preserve and protect the natural greenery that has been gradually diminishing from Ward 7 by advocating for sustainable development.
-
Evidence continually shows that community engagement is beneficial to the physical and mental health of senior citizens. I will push for networking and well-being programs for seniors within our community to be made a priority at the developing community centre.
-
When elected, I will ensure that our community centre is permanent, and not a temporary solution as we’ve seen previously. As tax-paying residents of Oakville, we deserve access to recreational facilities that we’ve been promised. I am committed to ensuring that our ward has access to its own library, community enrichment programs, and facilities.
-
Address traffic issues and enhance road safety, as I understand the pain of sitting in clogged traffic with unsynchronized traffic lights at intersections.
