During the past 12 years, I have had the honour of representing Ward 5 families as your Trustee. My primary commitment has always been to ensure every student's educational needs are met in a safe and inclusive environment.

​

Ward 5 is a diverse mix of established neighbourhoods and more recently constructed communities, older schools undergoing renovations and newer schools with modern designs and layouts, life-long residents and newcomers to Halton. And yet, regardless of where we live in Ward 5, we have one thing in common; we want the best and brightest futures for our children.

​

I believe every student needs to be supported and encouraged in order to achieve their potential. Our students need guidance to help them find their strengths. They need a wide variety of learning opportunities so they can determine and reach their goals. When they are struggling they need to be given appropriate assistance, and it should be readily available.

​

Every student needs to have the opportunity for challenge and choice.

​

Parents are becoming increasingly engaged in their children's education and their involvement has been shown to be a key factor in their children's academic success. Parents know their children's needs better than anyone else. I place great value on the contributions of parents who are actively involved in their children's education.

​

​I am ready to represent the families of Ward 5 for another 4 years, and I would be honoured to have your support.
