WE ALL DO BETTER - When We Work Together
The Town of Oakville is a vibrant community that I am proud to call home. Our town is beautiful and inviting, open and welcoming, a place with history. One can't but help have a strong sense of local pride and respect for our town, where family living is embraced, where young children can grow up feeling safe and inspired, where people can have opportunity and thrive, and where people can develop a strong sense of community.
I look forward to working hard for the people of Oakville so we can protect the things we value most. I want to represent our community to ensure that our education system is the best it can be, that our healthcare system remains strong, and that our residents and business community get the tools they need to thrive.
