Issues, explained clearly.
My position. Cornwall facts. What Council controls.
Every issue page follows the same simple structure so you can get the short answer quickly and open the detail when you want it.
How much can City Hall reasonably ask residents to absorb?
Affordability has to apply to City Hall too. I will not promise an arbitrary tax freeze before seeing the budget, but I do expect new spending to be explained clearly and tested against other priorities.
Open this issue →02 · WATER METERSWhat should residents know before consumption-based billing starts?
The meter installation is only one part of the change. What matters to households is the rate structure, how unusual usage is handled, and whether residents understand their bill before the new system takes effect.
Open this issue →03 · HOUSINGHow do we turn approvals into homes people can actually live in?
Housing has to be treated as a pipeline: approvals, servicing, construction and preservation of the housing that already exists.
Open this issue →04 · ROADS & INFRASTRUCTUREHow should Cornwall decide what gets fixed first?
Infrastructure should be prioritized by condition, safety, failure risk and service impact — then explained publicly so residents understand why one project came before another.
Open this issue →05 · COMMUNITY SAFETYWhat does a balanced municipal safety plan actually look like?
People should feel safe in their neighbourhoods, parks and downtown. Enforcement matters, and so do prevention, housing, by-law work and services that reduce repeat crises.
Open this issue →06 · ECONOMIC GROWTHHow do we make it easier to invest, expand and stay in Cornwall?
The practical side of economic development matters: predictable approvals, serviced land, useful business support, workforce needs and follow-up with employers already here.
Open this issue →07 · TRANSPARENCYHow should a councillor explain a major vote?
Posting an agenda is required. Helping residents understand a decision, the cost and what happens next is a responsibility I would take personally.
Open this issue →08 · BRIDGE HOUSINGWhat information should be on the table before Council approves a site or operating model?
Residents deserve clear operating details, costs, neighbourhood consultation and measurable outcomes. People experiencing homelessness also need a path toward stable housing rather than being moved from one public space to another.
Open this issue →09 · TRANSITHow do we make transit useful for the people who depend on it?
Transit should be planned around actual ridership, shift times, employment areas, accessibility and reliable connections — not treated as an afterthought.
Open this issue →10 · SENIORS & HEALTHCAREWhat can City Council actually do on healthcare and seniors’ services?
Healthcare delivery is mainly provincial, but Cornwall still has direct responsibilities and useful advocacy roles — especially physician recruitment and Glen Stor Dun Lodge.
Open this issue →11 · DOWNTOWN & WATERFRONTHow do we keep public spaces active, safe and worth coming back to?
Downtown policy should connect safety, housing, business activity, cleanliness, events and public space. The waterfront should remain publicly accessible while supporting recreation, tourism and appropriate economic activity.
