Housing and development

  • “Development must be supported by the infrastructure and services our growing population needs. That means planning for transportation and traffic, healthcare, schools, emergency services, parks and green spaces, community safety, and the long-term impact of development on existing neighbourhoods.”

Youth and families

  • “Building on Richmond Hill’s existing Youth Action Committee, I want to explore creating a broader Youth Council Advisory Program that gives youth and young adults direct exposure to municipal decision-making and a meaningful voice in shaping our city’s future.”

  • “Our youth should have a meaningful voice in shaping the city they will inherit. Richmond Hill should be a place where they choose to build their careers and one day raise families of their own.”

Local business

  • “Ward 6 has the potential to become Richmond Hill’s Innovation Hub—a place that attracts new businesses, supports existing ones, creates jobs, and encourages investment in emerging and growing industries.”

  • “By exploring incentives, partnerships, and other economic development tools within the City’s jurisdiction, we can encourage businesses to establish, expand, and invest in Richmond Hill. In return, participating companies would be invited to invest in our community by creating meaningful opportunities for youth and young adults through mentorship, industry experience, internships, apprenticeships, and employment pathways.”
