Campaign Pillars
I believe in transparency, and, that it is important to identify the things that guide your decisions!
These are the pillars of my campaign.
They're based on my own values, what I've learned as a councillor and from continually talking with residents, business and community leaders in Beaumont!
Service Excellence
Service Excellence focuses on delivering high-quality, efficient municipal services that provide real value to Beaumont residents while manageing the rapid growth in the community. This pillar is crucial because with a population now over 24,500 and on-going community expansion, residents expect reliable and well-maintained infrastructure, recreation and utilities ensuring that Beaumont remains a desireable place to live and work.
As a City Councillor, I will...
Continue to be a leader on council who will drive the responsible spending of tax dollars on maintenance and growth items in the community that are most important to you!
Work to increase transparency and role clarity between the service responsibilities of the city and developers related to growth.
Continually push the city service providers to improve and innovate!
Community Connections
Community Connections emphasizes building strong, inclusive ties among reisdents through events, safety initiatives, and engagement opportunities in Beaumont’s family-oriented setting. It is important as the city’s population has grown quickly spotlighting the need to get to know both our closest, and, regional neighbours.
I will be a leader on council that….
Believes in the power of engagement.
Commits to listening to new ideas to connect us all.
Continues to fund community events appropriately.
Will use my voice to build, strengthen and encourage connections between organized groups within Beaumont.
Regional Collaboration
Regional Collaboration involves partnering with neighbouring municipalities and the province to secure shared resources for recreation, safety and economic development, strengthening Beaumont’s position in the Edmonton region. This pillar matters beacuse Beaumont’s growth outpaces our neighbouring areas and collaborative efforts can build a broader tax base, reduce local costs and improve services like fire halls and business parks without overburdening residents.
As a City Councillor, I will...
Continually develop and maintain relationships with our regional friends and neighbours.
Continue to advocate for joint recreation and fire services infrastructure.
Encourage inter-municipal meetings that can align regional growth infrastructure investment timing, and, explore new infrastructure growth opportunities together!
Managed Growth
Managed Growth prioritizes an engaged, balanced, thoughtful development that accomodates the desire and demand for growth while preserving neighbourhood character. It is essential given the city’s status as the 3rd-fastest-growing-community, with rising concerns over densification and taxes, to ensure sustainable progress that benefits families and ensures quality of life for all.
Let’s manage Beaumont’s growth together: residents, council and city administration!
As a City Councillor, I will ....
Work with residents, city council and city administration to make thoughtful and required updates to the Land Use Bylaw ensuring that feedback is incorprated and any loop-holes being exploited are modified. Beaumont will not be taken advantage of!
Invest annually in infrastructure maintenance to ensure that growth can always be supported.
Monitor growth pressures and react to them as required. Changes should be made as we go, to ensure growth is managed.
