My Priorities
A Plan for Renfrew's Future.
Five clear priorities. Real actions. Honest accountability.
That means delivering the services people rely on while looking for practical ways to manage costs and reduce pressure on taxpayers.
What success looks like
Strong services delivered responsibly and sustainably.
Key actions
- Review service levels annually
- Pursue shared services and cost-saving partnerships
- Improve long-term infrastructure planning
- Make Town finances easier to understand
- Explore ideas that can reduce pressure on taxpayers
Ideas Worth Exploring
Not promises — ideas that deserve discussion.
These are not campaign promises. They are ideas I believe deserve thoughtful discussion, research and community input before decisions are made. Many have worked elsewhere.
Shared Services & Regional Collaboration
Could Renfrew reduce costs or improve services by working more closely with neighbouring municipalities?
- •Shared planning or building services
- •Coordinated equipment purchases
- •Coordinated winter maintenance
Helping Residents Manage Rising Costs
How can we reduce pressure on residents while maintaining important services?
- •Property tax deferral options for seniors
- •Exploring the feasibility of annual tax increase targets
- •Other affordability measures
Creating More Housing Options
How can we make better use of existing housing stock?
- •Easier conversion of homes into secondary units
- •Sharing accommodation opportunities
- •Other innovative housing approaches
New Sources of Municipal Revenue
How can municipalities secure sustainable funding for infrastructure and services?
- •Discussions around dedicated municipal revenue-sharing models such as a portion of the GST
- •Continued advocacy for infrastructure funding
Some of these ideas may prove practical. Others may not. My commitment is to examine them carefully, involve the right experts and stakeholders, share what we learn, and explain clearly why an idea should or should not move forward.
Ask Me Anything
Have a question about the platform?
Transparency matters. Engagement matters. Accessibility matters. I believe residents should be able to ask questions and receive straightforward answers. Whether you agree with me or not, I want to hear from you. Ask a question. Share an idea. Raise a concern. I will do my best to answer your questions here, and on my social media.
