My 3-Point Platform for a Thriving, More Connected Aurora
Respect & Transparency
Action Plan:
Ward 2:
-
Quarterly progress reports,
-
Bi-monthly and ad hoc Town Halls,
-
Ward ambassadors.
-
Councillor Office & Staff
Why It Matters: Transparency • Access • Respect
Whether you’ve lived here for decades or just moved in, you deserve a councillor who keeps you informed, keeps their door open, and treats your voice as part of the decision making process, not just during election season, but throughout the entire term.
A Safer & More Accountable Aurora
Action Plan:
-
Better lighting, safer sidewalks
-
Safe and responsible E-bike usage
-
Responsive property management
-
Proaction: solutions before crisis
Why It Matters: Prevention • Accountability • Peace of Mind
Our seniors, children, families, businesses and vulnerable residents deserve to feel safe where they live, work and play.
Community Standards & Pride
Action Plan:
-
Proactive Property Standards: quarterly checks, not complaint-driven
-
Beautification: support vibrant, welcoming business storefronts and spaces
-
Destination Aurora: build on our community pride and attract more visitors
Why It Matters: Health & Safety • Property Values • Community Pride
Whether we rent, own, run a business or visit Aurora, we all deserve a community that is clean, safe and well cared for.
Let's start with the basics.
Get the basics right, and we create the foundation to build everything else.
It's how we treat one another.
It's how we care for our properties and public spaces.
It's how safe people feel in their neighbourhoods.
It's how accessible their government is.
And it's whether residents feel respected and heard.
DIGNITY FIRST
D — Dignity in how people are treated
I — Integrity in leadership
G — Good stewardship of our properties and community
N — Neighbourhood safety
I — Inclusion in how residents participate
T — Transparency in government
Y — You, the resident, at the centre
