Connected Communities

Strong Cities are built on Strong Neighbourhoods

I am focused on creating safe, welcoming communities where youth, seniors, and families feel connected and supported. That means investing in public spaces, recreation, and initiatives that bring us together—not divide us.

Why Community Connectedness Matters
‍Research shows that people with strong local connections experience:
‍Vibrant neighborhoods: Places where people gather, interact, and support each other.
‍Better physical health: Lower rates of smoking, drinking, and inactive lifestyles.
‍Improved mental well-being: Reduced prevalence of mental illnesses.
‍Increased opportunities: Strong networks can create more job and volunteer opportunities.

How We Can Support Connected Communities
‍Supporting connected communities means:
Encouraging community clubs and associations.
Supporting events and programs like block parties and local gatherings.
Ensuring accessibility and inclusivity for seniors, youth, lower-income residents, and those living with disabilities.
Investing in public spaces and recreational facilities that bring people together.

My Commitment
‍I am committed to advocating for spaces and programs that allow residents to gather, connect, and support each other. A city council focused on community connectedness can create far-reaching benefits, including:
Preventing crime and illness
Reducing homelessness
