Platform & Issues A Plan for Ward 7

Real priorities. Practical solutions. A councillor who shows up every day.

Key Commitments for Ward 7

Concrete steps and detailed priorities to deliver real results for our residents.

01

Safer Streets & Smarter Infrastructure

Ward 7 families deserve streets that are safe to walk, cycle, and drive on — with infrastructure that keeps pace with our growing community.

  • Traffic calming measures on high-risk residential corridors
  • Improved crosswalk infrastructure near schools and parks
  • Better street lighting in parks, pathways, and transit stops
  • Faster response to pothole and road repair requests
  • Advocate for cycling infrastructure and regulate the use of e-bikes and scooters on the streets
02

Protecting Green Spaces & the Environment

The parks, ravines, and natural areas of Ward 7 are part of what makes Oakville special. I will fight to protect and enhance them for future generations.

  • Stronger tree canopy protections and urban forestry investment
  • Meaningful community consultation on all development applications
  • Improved park maintenance and accessible playground equipment
  • Support for naturalized green corridors and biodiversity initiatives
  • Oppose overdevelopment that threatens Ward 7's character and green space
03

Strong Community Services & Support

Every Ward 7 resident — from young families to seniors — deserves access to the services and support that help them thrive.

  • Advocate for expanded recreation programming for youth and seniors
  • Support voices of my colleagues in the region to improve policing
  • Improve transit connections within Ward 7 and to the broader Oakville network
  • Work with community organizations to address food security and social isolation
  • Ensure Ward 7 receives its fair share of Town capital investment
04

Accountable & Accessible Local Government

Ward 7 residents deserve a councillor who is reachable, responsive, and transparent — someone who treats every constituent with respect.

  • Regular ward-wide town halls and neighbourhood meetings
  • Transparent reporting on Council votes and budget decisions
  • A responsive constituency office that returns calls and emails promptly
  • Proactive communication on development, infrastructure, and Town projects

Built on What Residents Told Me
