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: Taxes, Economy, Infrastructure, Community with practical, accountable solutions.

Taxes: Accountability and Value

• 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. Families are paying higher utility bills, businesses are carrying heavier costs, and too often City Hall is not showing where the money goes.
• 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: Build it Right the First Time

• 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. Too often, City Hall reacts to problems instead of planning for growth.
• 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. Growth in our city can’t come at the expense of planning that works.
• 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. By using technology to coordinate projects across departments — from utilities to transportation — we can cut duplication, save money, and reduce disruptions for people and businesses.
• Bottom line: I’ll make sure infrastructure supports growth and daily life instead of disrupting it, with technology driving better coordination and efficiency.

Community Safety and Connection

• 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. Right now, many communities are missing the programs and spaces that keep people engaged and supported.
• Community leagues and local groups are already doing the work of building connection, but they often lack the resources and recognition they need. At the same time, gaps in youth programming and wraparound services for mental health and housing mean problems grow until they become crises.
• 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.

Economy: Supporting Local Jobs and Businesses

• 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 and for people to access good jobs.
• When businesses succeed, communities succeed. Strong local economies mean more jobs, more opportunities, and a city that can thrive long-term. But for that to happen, City Hall needs to be efficient, responsive, and committed to partnership.
• 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.
