Powell River
Better Together
Powell River is where I chose to build my life. I moved here six years ago, married Shannon here this summer, and we cannot imagine building our family anywhere else.
I work in community outreach at Inclusion Powell River, supporting people with disabilities to take part in the life of this town. I sit on the board of the historic Patricia Theatre and volunteer with our local Rotary Club. My family helped design the new Miklat Recovery Centre and raised most of the money to build it, so I know what it takes to get something real done here.
Everything I have been part of here, Inclusion, Rotary, the Patricia, Miklat, works because people pull in the same direction. That is what I want to bring to Council. That is how this town gets things done! We are better together!
Here is where I stand. Tap any priority to read the full plan.
Keeping Taxes Affordable. Careful budgeting so living here stays within reach.
Tackling the Addiction Epidemic. Real treatment like the Miklat Recovery Centre, with proper supports and a real say for residents.
Safer Streets Through Recovery. A handful of people drive most of our crime, and treatment is what breaks the cycle.
Fair Ferry Service for Powell River. Priority access for the residents who depend on it.
A More Open and Transparent Council. Meetings, budgets, and votes you can actually see.
More Affordable Housing. Faster permitting and real partnerships for workers, families, and seniors.
Long Term Care for Our Seniors. More beds, so our parents and grandparents can age here with dignity.
A New Pickleball Facility. A real home for one of our most community driven groups.
