What do you think is the biggest issue facing the City of Kamloops and how would use your elected position to address it?

Strong, united leadership with mayor and council having a common vision to promote our city as the hub of the province. All working co-operatively to capitalize on the unique geographical location of Kamloops – the centre of the province – with all transportation routes (railroads and highways) meeting in our hub city.

What does a sustainable future for Kamloops and area look like to you and what does it need from mayor and council?

Kamloops developed as an inland port – cross-Canada and coast freight shipped to Kamloops by truck and rail and redistributed from here to all points north, south, east, and west.
