THE MISSION 

As someone who grew up in Whistler, and is still growing my family

here, I have a unique understanding of the community. I want

Whistler to continue to be the safe and welcoming place I know and

love, and to be accessible for young families to put down roots.

I am running for municipal council because I believe in maintaining

the spirit of Whistler and providing opportunity for the next

generation of locals. The goal, if re-elected, is to find ways to make life

easier for locals while maintaining the tourist appeal. 

The Issues 

Transit

While on council, I have done a lot on transit in the last 4 years. I helped facilitate increased transit hours and added new, efficient busses to our fleet. I will continue to work with the Province to implement regional transit and I am confident that will be in our near future. I’d love to continue to do that work. 

​

Housing

I sat on the Whistler Housing Authority board for the last four years and also the Housing and Strategy Committee. I have helped to open over 200 new rental units. If elected, I will continue the on going work of building housing, specifically ownership units. I have and will continue, if elected, to advocate to move out of Cheakamus and into other parts of Whistler. 

​

Affordability

Tackling the discussion of affordability comes with many obstacles. We need to see a change in transportation, to work with the different levels of government about providing more affordable daycare options and paying a living wage. All of these issues I have started work on and am eager to continue to do this work. Four years just wasn’t enough, there is still so much to do.
