ANNE IS COMMITTED TO BUILDING O-DAY’MIN.
STRONGER.
The past two years have taught us about the amazing resilience of our community. But it’s also shown us where there are gaps in our systems. Anne believes we need to build our city in a way that ensures we can be resilient in the face of future challenges. Anne is focused on:
Prioritizing housing affordability for all
Taking decisive climate action
Supporting a diversified economy and mobility network to create choice and adaptability
SMARTER.
It’s easy to imagine what we want our ward to be in the future - connected, vibrant, livable. But it will take a lot of strategic and thoughtful decision-making to get us there. To build an even better community and realize the incredible potential of our ward and city, Anne is focused on:
Taking data-driven decisions informed by effective community consultation
Breaking down budget silos to find systems savings and consider full lifecycle costs of infrastructure
Championing changes that support the 15 minute city
TOGETHER.
None of us can thrive if all of us can’t thrive. Anne is committed to creating an equitable city where we all have access to the services, supports, and amenities we need as individuals and as a community. To achieve a truly inclusive ward, Anne is focused on:
Investing in public spaces where we can connect with each other and with nature
Working consistently towards reconciliation through better relationships with our Treaty partners
Promoting community wellness to improve neighbourhood safety
