I have been working with residents and businesses in Saanich as a member of Saanich Council since 1993. I work in collaboration with my colleagues in the region on regional issues, as a Director at the CRD Board and Hospital Board, since 1996. I bring a strong voice on all issues whether at Saanich Council, CRD or other boards I sit on. I value community engagement around all issues and learn from my greater community and their voices and knowledge. I bring a very approachable leadership style, and I am an experienced and independent elected official.
