Individual self-interest holds us back. As a non-partisan candidate, my candidacy is funded entirely by myself and those who may wish to donate individually. I have no connections, affiliations or financial support from any organization, group or union nor will I accept any. This allows me to work independently and without impediment for residents creating a shared vision for a better future that will grow and make our city prosper. 

I've been asked. "How will your one vote on council change anything?" Yes, as a councilor I will have one vote but that vote comes with a voice and a plan. A plan, along with your voice and mine that is reasonable and comes with common sense. I will present this with the best interests of the community in mind and clearly advocated to the mayor, council, city administration and city committees that I will have the opportunity to be a part of. My plan and vision that works for Ward 6 and the city. A plan that has been supported by your vote on November 13th.

(NEW)

These are some of the issues that will be facing Ward 6 residence, businesses and the city as a whole in the early stages of city council that I want to address.

- Fluoride added to the city's water infrastructure at the Buffalo Pound Treatment plant. I believe the city is over stepping their boundaries when it comes to spending $3 million dollars on equipment to add fluoride to our water when more and more municipalities are choosing to more away from this process. 

- Contamination of the old Imperial Oil refinery site located on 80 aches of property in Ward 6. The city and Imperial Oil are aware of the contamination of hazardous refinery ground conditions, containing lead, phenol, cyanide, other hydrocarbons and PCB indications, along with black sludge, buried pipelines and tanks that still contain flammable liquids and release gasses that the city is aware could cause explosions.  

Over a 60 year period the City allowed the Regina Food Bank, a Child Daycare, Dairy Producers Creamer, a city transit facility and various other businesses to operate squarely within this zone of contamination, without any contamination consideration whatsoever. This area also site over a main city aquifer that is the main back up to the city's water supply that drains into Wascana creek and it tributaries. 

Council and the city have continued to refuse the provinces request to initiate a comprehensive Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) Phase II testing relative to the entire former refinery area. I believe this is a very dangerous situation that needs immediate attention of both the city and Imperial Oil to formulate plans of reclamation and what that would look like according to the completion ESA testing. 

- Ring Road rail relocation will once again be a topic for city administration and council in early to mid 2025 year when yet another report is expected from a third party consultant. This will inevitably be a topic of conversation within ward 6 and the city with the expected increase of train traffic when the new pulse plants come online in the north east part of the city located just behind the Coop Refinery. The city is facing yet another major project that will cost millions. I therefore believe the city and council should be getting ahead of this before the report is even released and formulate a plan of action. Start looking into project funding and where it can secured from at the provincial and federal levels. Start talking to the two railway companies and other invested businesses to formulate a plan that meets their needs and the financial investment they will make in playing a roll Regina's overall continuing expansion.

(NEW) 

Even though it's not the responsibility of a municipal government to provide health care. I believe city council has the obligation to work with the provincial government to build a new hospital in Regina. Although the Urgent health care center is a welcome addition to the city. We desperately require a new hospital. If elected, I intend to to make a motion to council that will set in motion a proposal to the provincial government on building a new hospital in the city. Can this be done in the next four years? Probably not, but lets get the conversation started.
