I am pleased to announce that I am running for Regional Councillor for Scugog in the upcoming Municipal Election. Many people approached me to run in this role given my experience and knowledge on local and regional issues and my willingness to tackle challenging issues with courage, fairness and honesty to find solutions that will benefit our community.

My late husband and I came to Scugog when we bought the local GM dealership over 20 years ago. We raised our two sons here and I’ve been active in the community since then as a coach, volunteer and health and political advocate.

I owned and ran a staffing and training company for over 25 years. I’m a twice published Author on health and recently worked as a Leadership Speaker and trainer.

My commitment to Scugog will be to work hard to lead, to inspire and to listen to all residents and opinions with respect. I didn’t just step up recently. I have been working to highlight and solve issues for a number of years to ensure we move forward into a positive future for our families and children. As a former competitive athlete and Martial Artist, I have been instilled with a sense of courage, discipline and integrity in everything I do. As a Christian who attends a local church, I am guided by the principles of truth and loving my neighbour as myself. I will treat each person fairly and with respect no matter their background, beliefs, race, religion or sexual identity.

Serving this community will include working to ensure local dollars go to local projects, voting against unnecessary tax hikes to help families with affordability, highlighting and reducing wasteful spending, protecting greenspaces, supporting entrepreneurs, businesses and farmers in the region and helping create a healthier, safer and more prosperous community for us all.

Scugog is a vibrant community and together we can ensure that this is an exceptional place to live and grow for decades to come. New leadership is important to ensure all voices are being heard and fresh ideas are being considered.

Please reach out to me with questions, comments or ideas you have.

We can do it together

 

MY LOCAL MISSION

My mission is to bring fiscal accountability, promote a healthy community and protect our local greenspaces in Scugog.

I support all residents of Scugog regardless of their race, gender or political views. I care deeply about ensuring our small businesses, farmers, youth and families can thrive in our community. I will work to lower property taxes and ensure local dollars are used on local projects like remediation for our Lake Scugog.

I believe we need new leadership in Scugog and a willingness to listen and respond to concrns in the community. I support open dialogue instead of censorship and will work hard to implement positive change in our community.
