Protect. Plan ahead. Practical solutions.

Priority 01

Protect the Paradise

The lakes, the orchards, and a pace of life that still feels like a neighbourhood.

Lake Country is a rare kind of place. Kids still grow up by the water. Orchards still shape the hills. Winfield, Oyama, Okanagan Centre, and Carr’s Landing each have a character of their own, and together they are home. The work is to keep it that way — lakes people can swim in, trails they can walk, and farmland that still defines the valley.

• Care for the lakeshore and the farmland that make this valley itself.
• Honour the distinct character of each ward, and keep us one community.
• Protect trails, parks, and gathering places — the everyday joy of living here.
• Welcome families who want to put down roots, without losing what makes this place special.

Priority 02

Plan the Infrastructure Ahead

Get ahead of bottlenecks in sewer, roads, and water — instead of reacting after problems hit.

Lake Country is one of the fastest-growing communities in British Columbia, and the District is already near capacity on key sewer infrastructure. Water, drainage, and roads cannot wait until after the next subdivision is approved. Complex problems are not impossible problems. They need a plan — and that is the work I will bring to the mayor’s chair.

• Infrastructure planning leads development, not the other way around.
• Keep community safety, wildfire resilience, and emergency egress on the agenda year-round — not only in fire season.
• Bring a result-focused, non-political approach.

Priority 03

Practical Solutions

The Official Community Plan sets the direction for the next 20 years. As Mayor, my job is to make sure we actually deliver on it.

That means clear priorities, funded projects, real timelines, and regular progress reports so residents can see what’s moving forward. I’ll bring the same focus on results and capacity planning that I use every day as an engineer — so we stay ahead of problems instead of constantly catching up.

• Bring a process-improvement lens to District operations: fewer bottlenecks, clearer priorities, measurable results.
• Lead with transparency, and communicate in plain language so everyone can follow the decisions, the timeline, and the reason.
