Communication, Engagement & Representation

Riverview’s residents - our families, friends, and neighbours - are our greatest asset. Our residents expect transparent communication, proactive engagement, and leaders who will advocate on their behalf. I will continue to place a strong focus on transparency if given the privilege to continue serving as your mayor.

If re-elected, I will support:

  • continuing to raise the voice of Riverview’s residents in advocating to the provincial and federal government on critical issues like health care, justice reform, education, and social issues;
  • working with our partners on regional issues like transportation, tourism, economic development, community and social development.
  • exploring new ways of engaging with residents to gather feedback on town activities and plans including virtual Q&As, social media engagement, and community events.

Work to date:

I have enjoyed engaging residents, partners, other municipalities and my fellow council members to move Riverview forward. Some of the ways I have supported transparent, proactive communications include:

  • creating a health-care advocacy committee made up of residents to advocate for a collaborative care clinic in Riverview to increase residents’ access to primary care;
  • providing timely meeting summaries to keep residents informed on the work of Council after each meeting;
  • collaborating through the Southeast Regional Service Commission, where I serve as vice-chair, on newly imposed mandates like regional transportation, tourism, economic development, community & social development;
  • representing Riverview on the Urban Municipal Caucus of the Union of Municipalities;
  • meeting with our federal and provincial representatives to share resident priorities and ensure strong collaboration among all levels of government.
