Do you support reducing the maximum allowable house size?
I support opening and modernizing our official community plan to robust engagement toward a district-wide housing design which limits lot consolidation and FSR.
Should residents require permits to cut down trees on private property?
I will support the recommendations of our newly struck Tree Bylaw Working Group, which will surely provide clear guidelines balancing community and private property rights.

Council has stalled its levy motion , until the province provides their 15% tax results on cooling markets. I prefer diverse housing options over levies.

Ease housing , family and environmental disruptions. Modernize and broaden our OCP toward a district-wide housing and commercial design. Innovate new traffic congestion and parking solutions.
