MY PRIORITIES FOR WARD 5

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and 360 CCTV camera
Strategic Infrastructure Improvements based on municipal data
Faster coordination between City departments to respond to community concerns
Collaborate with City departments to ensure a proactive approach to safety and maintenance in Ward 5
Ward 5 absorbs 100% of the airport's noise, traffic, and structural wear, but City Hall takes the money and spends it elsewhere. I will fight to mandate that a fixed percentage of Pearson’s PILT funds be legally locked into a dedicated Ward 5 Infrastructure and Community Fund to fix local roads, fund Ward 5 community centers, and mitigate local impacts.

Restore Route 104 Derry Express to provide faster, more reliable transit across Ward 5
Introduce evening and weekend service on Route 57 Courtneypark
Improve Route 42 Derry scheduling to better meet the needs of residents, workers, and students
Traffic calming measures in residential neighbourhoods
Road-sharing strategy for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians
Improved parking management
Improved inner transit network
Heated bus stops
Advocate for Direct Buses to York and UFT Mississauga from Malton

Collaborate closely with Peel District School Board and the Ward 5 school trustee to support all schools across the ward, while analyzing data to determine whether additional resources are needed within individual schools or the ward as a whole.
Strong investment towards Mental Health Support Services
Create an online application for citizens to track the progress of their complaints.
Investment in new Recreational Spaces
Year-round funded youth and senior programs
Fair and equitable free-use scheduling
After-school homework & mentorship programs
Advocate for Local Business during City's bidding process

Advocate for streamlined minor business permits
Reduce red tape for entrepreneurs, straightforward paperwork
Advocate policies that ease cost-of-living pressures
Improve safety & beautification of the ward
Support local businesses for local employment
I will advocate for fair and sustainable arrangements between the City, the Province, and major local institutions that protect municipal revenues while creating meaningful economic opportunities for residents. I will work to establish stronger local employment and training partnerships, ensuring that major employers contribute to workforce development and local hiring. Where organizations fail to meet their commitments to the community or their financial obligations, I will support the City in pursuing all appropriate measures to protect taxpayers and ensure accountability.
