I have always believed communities are about people. Together, we have worked hard to build a caring, inclusive and connected city by putting people and community first.

That is more important today than ever. These are challenging times, and many people are having to make difficult choices just to get ahead. We need a city that makes life easier and supports people at every stage of life. That means continuing to deliver housing that meets the needs of families, youth, and seniors who call our city home - or hope to. It means working collaboratively with other levels of government to improve transportation, and to make childcare and essential services more affordable and accessible. It means protecting our natural environment for future generations, creating parks, streets, and public spaces that bring people together and builds community, and supporting local businesses while creating opportunities for the next generation of entrepreneurs to invest here.

I believe every generation should see themselves in our city's future - and know they belong.

These are the values that have guided me over the past eight years, and the values I will continue to embrace as your Mayor. On October 17th, I ask for your Vote.
