Ward pihêsiwin is one of Edmonton’s fastest-growing areas. Growth brings opportunity, but also challenges: rising costs, infrastructure that lags behind, and community groups that aren’t always supported the way they should be.
At City Hall, my focus is clear: practical, accountable solutions that make a real difference in people’s daily lives
Edmontonians are paying more but not seeing enough in return. Year after year, property taxes and fees increase, yet people don't feel the benefits in their daily lives. Taxes should be the foundation of reliable services and thriving neighbourhoods. When dollars are wasted through poor planning or duplication, people lose trust — and that trust needs to be rebuilt. I will ensure every tax dollar is tied to real improvements people can see and use. By using technology to improve financial reporting and public dashboards, Edmontonians will be able to clearly track where money is going and what it delivers. Bottom line: I'll bring accountability and results to how Edmonton manages your money, backed by transparent, tech-enabled reporting.
Infrastructure is about how a city grows, connects, and supports its people. Right now, poor coordination means construction projects drag on, transit falls behind, and local businesses are left to absorb the costs of delays. This needs to change. Infrastructure should mean reliable transit that connects communities, coordinated planning so roads aren't being torn up twice for different projects, and community facilities that keep pace with the needs of families and businesses. I will push for city-wide planning that synchronizes projects, stronger oversight so timelines and budgets are respected, and investments that create infrastructure built to last. Bottom line: I'll make sure infrastructure supports growth and daily life instead of disrupting it, with technology driving better coordination and efficiency.
A safe city is one where people feel connected and supported. Safety isn't only about emergency response — it's about prevention, opportunity, and strong neighbourhood ties. Community leagues and local groups are already doing the work of building connection, but they often lack the resources and recognition they need. I will support leagues and grassroots groups with the resources to expand their impact, invest in youth programs that give young people positive pathways, and strengthen wraparound services that help people earlier. Technology can also make public spaces safer — from smart lighting in parks and trails, to digital tools that connect people to local programs and resources. Bottom line: I'll invest in prevention, programs, and safe spaces that keep communities strong and connected, supported by practical technology that improves safety and access.
Small businesses and entrepreneurs are the backbone of Edmonton's economy, but too often they're slowed down by City Hall. Whether it's permits, approvals, or basic services, delays and inefficiencies make it harder for businesses to grow. When businesses succeed, communities succeed. Strong local economies mean more jobs, more opportunities, and a city that can thrive long-term. I will push for streamlined services, modernized processes, and the creation of a local business association that gives entrepreneurs and professionals a stronger voice in decision-making. By digitizing and simplifying applications, licensing, and approvals, we can reduce wait times, cut red tape, and let businesses focus on growth. Bottom line: I'll make City Hall a partner in growth, not a barrier, with technology helping deliver faster, more transparent services.
