People first.
Evidence-led.
Community-driven.

Practical, accountable leadership for Moncton has to be grounded in data, lived experience and the voice of the people who live here.

Neighbourhoods that are connected, safe and designed for your everyday life

Neighbourhoods are where daily life happens. When people feel connected to where they live, communities are safer, healthier, and more resilient. Strong neighbourhoods do not happen by accident. They are shaped by thoughtful design, local input, and policies that protect homes as places to live, not commodities.

Neighbourhoods should reflect the people who live in them. They should be places where people can put down roots, feel safe on their streets, and build real connections with one another.

What I will focus on

  • Protecting neighbourhood stability
    Safeguards to prevent neighbourhoods from being hollowed out by short-term rentals owned by people who do not live there.

  • Supporting local connection and community life
    Making it easier for neighbours to host block parties, pop-up events, play days, and other community gatherings that build belonging.

  • Designing neighbourhoods for real life
    Streets and public spaces that support kids, seniors, and everyone in between, including safe bus stops, continuous sidewalks, shade trees, and welcoming places to gather.

  • Listening early and often
    Decisions that affect neighbourhoods should be shaped with residents from the start, not after plans are already set.

Community Safety needs practical and efficient solutions, proactive interventions and shared responsibility

Many residents feel less safe than they did a few years ago. Break-ins, theft, and visible disorder affect how people move through their neighbourhoods and how connected they feel to their community. These concerns are real and deserve serious attention.

At the same time, community safety is shaped by deeper, intersecting issues such as housing instability, poverty, mental health challenges, and addictions. Focusing only on enforcement without addressing root causes has not delivered lasting results.

Community safety is not about fear or punishment. It is about creating the conditions where people can live with dignity, stability, and connection. Lasting safety comes from balancing immediate responses with long-term, preventive solutions.

What I will focus on

  • A clear and coordinated community safety strategy
    Public investments in safety should be guided by defined goals, clear roles, and a shared plan rather than isolated or reactive measures.

  • Accountability for safety-related spending
    Programs and infrastructure funded by the City should include measurable objectives and public reporting so residents know what is working.

  • Upstream interventions that prevent harm
    Supporting approaches that reduce crisis and improve stability before problems escalate, including access to housing and social supports.

  • Balanced responses to immediate concerns
    Addressing day-to-day safety issues while ensuring responses do not create long-term harm or push problems out of sight rather than solving them.

Stable, Safe, Affordable Housing

Housing is a basic need and it shapes everything from neighbourhood stability to community safety. While housing policy is largely provincial, the City of Moncton has real tools that influence what gets built, who benefits, and how neighbourhoods are affected.

Moncton does not just need more housing. We need housing that is stable, truly affordable, and accountable to the people who live here. Growth should strengthen communities, not hollow them out.

What I will focus on

  • Protecting neighbourhoods and housing stock
    Strong and fair enforcement against neglectful absentee owners and unsafe properties.

  • Supporting real affordability, not vague promises
    Clear definitions, long-term affordability commitments, and support for non-profits, co-ops, and community-minded builders.

  • Transparency in housing decisions
    Residents deserve to know who receives incentives, what commitments are made, and whether those commitments are met.

Transparency - strong cities are clear, transparent and accountable.

Trust in local government depends on transparency. When decisions are made in the open, residents can understand how and why choices are made. When processes are unclear or bypassed, trust erodes and people disengage.

Residents deserve a council that respects public process, listens openly, and is accountable for its actions. Transparency is not about optics. It is about making better decisions and earning public trust.

What I will focus on

  • Open decision-making
    Council business should happen in public, especially when decisions are controversial or have wide community impact.

  • Protecting fair and unbiased processes
    Committee appointments and other decisions should follow clear, objective criteria without political interference.

  • Clear reporting on councillor activity and spending
    Residents should be able to see what their councillor is working on and how public funds are being used without having to watch hours of meetings.

  • Respecting roles and expertise
    Councillors provide oversight and direction. City staff apply professional judgment and best practices without micromanagement.
