Preservation and Protection of our Natural Resources & Municipal Infrastructure
Maintenance of our waterways, roads, buildings, parks, bridges, and more is obviously important, but so is finding ways to improve them and make them resistant to climate change and a growing population.
An Accessible and Attainable Housing Stock
Housing is a basic human right. We need to take active steps now to safeguard it for all current and future residents.
Creating a More Diverse Commercial Sector
We need to recognize & promote the contributions of all local business, and actively encourage new sustainable economic growth.
