It has been an honour to serve as
your representative on Selkirk City Council over the past eight years.
We have made great strides to make Selkirk a stronger community. I am
proud of our accomplishments - but there is still more to do. With your
support, I will continue to work hard to make our community a better
place to live, work and play. Below you will find some of the key
initiatives I will undertake over the next four years if given the
opportunity.
I believe that
these initiatives will help us build a safer, more vibrant and prosperous
community. I ask for your support on October 27th
