“I am very proud to live, work
and play in this region, and I am
especially honoured to serve
its people. I am particularly
proud of the working partnership
we’ve developed with the
Town of Slave Lake, and of our
successes in intermunicipal
agreement. The upcoming
Land Use Bylaw changes are a
priority for me. It’s vital that we
make zoning and development
as fast, painless and practical
as possible. These refinements,
coupled with low taxes, will
attract and retain families and
businesses. I will also continue
to advocate for the safety and
stability of our roadways — a
major ongoing concern.” “Faced with challenging economic
conditions and expanding
demands on resources, fiscal
matters grow more challenging
each year. Despite these
realities, we have maintained a
balanced budget with minimal
tax increases. This monumental
achievement has been reached
while maintaining normal service
levels (and even managing
to upgrade many facilities). A
shining example of working
with my fellow Councillors and
MD administrators to achieve
meaningful outcomes. Together
we make a great team.” “Now well into my first
term, I have a much better
understanding of the MD, its
moving parts, and how best to
work with municipal entities to
the net benefit of our region.
I am a strong proponent of
sustainability; a goal I feel is
achieved through our schools
and communities, and through
robust economic development
activities. To achieve these
goals, Council is strengthening
its commitments to work
collaboratively and share
resources with our municipal
neighbours. We will also
continue to lobby the provincial
government for any available
funding to support our goals.”
