Candidate for City Councillor
Ward 1 · Windsor
A Stronger Windsor Together
Election day: Monday, October 26.
I was born and raised in Windsor. I went to school here, I studied here, and I built my business here. This is home, and it's the only place I've ever wanted to build something.
That business is Serenity Wellness Clinic, where I'm co-founder and director. We're a mental health clinic. We use TMS — transcranial magnetic stimulation — a non-invasive treatment for people living with depression, anxiety, addictions and many other brain health challenges.
Everything I've built is already here. My clinic is in Windsor. My life is in Windsor. I'm not fitting this around a career somewhere else, and I'm not using it as a step toward something bigger. Ward 1 gets all my time, not what's left of it.
What drives me is simple. I'm motivated, and I'm focused on making Ward 1 stronger. That means coming to residents before decisions are made, not after. Explaining what's being proposed while there's still time to weigh in. Being transparent about what the City is doing. And staying in touch once the vote is over.
Right now, most people find out about a project when the shovels show up. That's backwards. It's the thing I most intend to change.
If something in your neighbourhood is bothering you, tell me. Call, email, or stop me on the sidewalk. I read everything myself, and I answer.
Every project on this corridor gets looked at on its own. Traffic, parking and sewer capacity get studied one application at a time, as if the last four didn't happen.
Residents can see what's adding up even when the reports don't. More cars turning onto the same two roads, less street parking, and a sewer system that was sized for a smaller neighbourhood.
I will push for a cumulative review of traffic, parking and sewer capacity across the Cabana and Roseland corridor, and I will make what it finds public before the next application is voted on.
These are school streets. People drive them like they're through-routes, and parents tell me the same thing at every door: their kids are fine until they reach the corner. Speed bollards went up on Matchett in 2026 and road resurfacing is underway — but the concerns about pedestrian safety near schools and cyclists haven't been resolved by pavement alone.
There's no shortage of ideas about what to do next. What's missing is a proper count of speeds and volumes on these specific blocks, and a chance for residents to weigh in before anything is decided.
I will request speed and volume counts on Casgrain, Kennedy and Matchett, bring the results to a public meeting in the ward, and take residents' preferences to Council with them.
The curb, gutter and storm sewer work on these streets appears in the City's own reports as unfunded and not started. That isn't a rumour from a neighbour. It's in the documents.
People here have been told it's coming for years. Nobody has told them where it actually sits on the list, or what would move it.
I will ask for the status, the cost and the ranking of this work in writing at every budget cycle, and send the answer to every household on those streets whether it's good news or not.
The City publishes 311 sewer and road flooding data by street. It's public. Nobody has sat down and mapped which addresses in Ward 1 keep coming up.
Until that's done, every flooded basement is treated as a one-off. Households that have been hit three times are counted the same as households hit once.
I will pull the City's 311 flooding data for Ward 1, map the repeat locations street by street, publish the map, and use it every time drainage spending is decided.
The old clubhouse is being demolished. A 48-unit condo building is going up on the parking lot. A new clubhouse is being built. The golf course stays. Residents have had questions about all of this since the heritage designation was lifted in early 2025 — and the answers have come in pieces, months apart.
The deal is now signed and construction is underway. What residents still need is a clear picture of what the finished site looks like, how the course operates during construction, and what access and parking look like when it's done.
I will push for a public update on the Roseland construction timeline, parking plan and course access held in the ward before the end of the year, with residents able to ask questions directly.
I read everything myself and I answer within a day.
Updates on events I'm hosting, what people are telling me, where I'm knocking, and what's happening — all across Ward 1.
Every dollar goes toward reaching every door in Ward 1 — signs, printing, and the shoe leather it takes to get to all of them.
