I've served on Richmond Council since 1968, and helped found the Agricultural Land Reserve as Richmond MLA from 1973 to 1975. I helped develop Metro Vancouvers Food Security Strategy in 2011, as Chair of Agriculture for Metro Vancouver.
All of our major parks were community initiatives. We wouldn't have the Richmond Trail system, London Farm, Britannia Shipyard and Gulf of Georgia heritage sites, Garry Point Park, Terra Nova Rural Park, and the Garden City Lands without councillors, like me, prepared to support the community's vision. I fought for every one of those parks.
I support:
-developing the Garden City Lands for the Kwantlen Farm School, urban agriculture and park
-densifying our downtown and protecting single family neighbourhoods
-requiring new development to provide jobs, affordable housing, community facilities, geothermal and solar energy, and rooftop parks
-increasing community safety by supporting police and fire-rescue
-providing facilities for seniors and youth
-improving our dykes against floods and storms
-protecting our community from jet fuel, oil, and coal contamination
I am proud of my role in making Richmond the "Healthiest City in Canada". I am a full-time City Councillor. I pledge to work to make Richmond the healthiest, safest, and greenest city in Canada.
