My Commitment to You on Issues Important to us All

On October 24, 2022, the residents of Ward 11 will elect a new Councillor.  Let me put my close to 40 years’ experience in the community to work for you.  Our Councillor serves at both the City of Mississauga and Region of Peel levels of government and needs to work with the Mayor and Members of Council to get things done.  I have worked with them all in the past and look forward to representing you with them right away.

Community Infrastructure

I am committed to seeking increased investments in local infrastructure including roads, sidewalks, bridges, parks and community amenities.  Established neighbourhoods like most in Ward 11 deserve the same treatment as brand-new developments.

Property Taxes

I am committed to keeping taxes low.  Half of your property tax bill is controlled by the City and Region while the other 50% is for education.  Mississauga and Peel must do a better job keeping costs in line, seeking greater efficiencies, and working with the other levels of government to fund important programs and services.

Infill Development

Ward 11 is a prime location for infill development.  However, it must reflect the character of our neighbourhoods in well-established communities.  I am committed to working with the community and residents’ associations to ensure new development in our neighbourhoods works.  I support establishing architectural criteria for new homes in Ward 11 and protecting our heritage districts.

Heritage Protection

I am committed to heritage protection.  Ward 11 is home to the historic districts of Streetsville and Meadowvale Village.  Along with local committees, I will work to preserve and enhance our heritage areas for many, many years to come.

Community Safety

I fully support the women and men of Peel Regional Police.  As the Founding Chair of the Mississauga Crime Prevention Association and Safe City Mississauga, I am committed to ensuring public involvement in community safety.  As a member of the Mississauga Traffic Safety Council, I have conducted dozens of site inspections in Ward 11 to ensure our children are safe going to and from school.

Environment

The environment belongs to us all.  I am committed to seeing the City of Mississauga Climate Change Action Plan fully implemented and work with the other orders of Government in addressing climate change and adaptation. In addition, I am committed to seeing the expansion and improvements along the Credit River on the Culham Trail for everyone to enjoy.

Affordable Housing

I am committed to finding new and innovative solutions to providing affordable housing in Mississauga.  I will work with all levels of government to address this issue and use my more than 20 years experience in the rental housing industry to make things happen.  As President of the Greater Toronto Apartment Association, I advocated strongly for more housing allowance programs which given direct assistance to people to afford their housing.

Traffic, Transportation & Gridlock

This continues to be a key concern in Ward 11.  I am committed to innovative solutions to our traffic issues.  We need new ideas to address traffic calming and speeding and expand bike lanes in appropriate areas in consultation with the community.  

Supporting our Businesses

Local business is the backbone of Mississauga’s economy.  It creates good jobs for our residents and contributes greatly to our tax base.  I am committed to continue to work with the Streetsville Business Improvement Association as I have done for many years as well as individual businesses to ensure they succeed and grow in Mississauga.

This is MY COMMITMENT to you.  I need your support on October 24, 2022, so we can get things done!
