As a 23 year resident of West Kelowna I am proud to call this area home. I have seen many changes in our city and would be proud to represent the citizens of West Kelowna as a member of council.
I have been, and will continue to ask the hard questions at council, to challenge issues that come before us and to listen to the voice of those that I hope to represent.
We are facing some very expensive issues in years to come such as clean water, policing, healthcare, city hall location/expansion and basic infrastructure upgrades. In order to keep taxation levels from sky-rocketing we may have to put our wants on hold and deal with the needs.

I believe we need:
- Good infrastructure, roads and sidewalks that are safe and in high traffic areas
- Clean water - this project is going to cost multimillions and if not done correctly
- Healthcare services - out patient clinics and minor treatment to take the load off
- To restructure city hall - processes revision and staff levels - higher accountability and performance based models with more emphasis on reducing financial waste - we don香蕉视频直播檛 need to tax more, we just need to spend wiser.
- Finally to allow local businesses to succeed by putting in place policies and frameworks that encourage less bureaucracy
These can be done by a council that is not afraid to put in hard work and re-examine the current structure that has 香蕉视频直播渟taff香蕉视频直播� running city hall.
Each neighbourhood of West Kelowna is unique and our 香蕉视频直播渂lanket policies and bylaws香蕉视频直播� should be area specific and not applied throughout the entire city like we are all the same - each area is different and has different needs - The public need and deserve to be listen to and respected and that is what I would be honoured to do for my community.
