I would not support a dedicated annual allocation. Depends on the projects proposed. I support safe walking and cycling infrastructure, but I would not automatically commit taxpayers to a fixed annual amount without reviewing the specific projects, costs and benefits. Active transportation improvements should be prioritized where they address demonstrated safety concerns, improve connectivity and

Approximately $700,000 annually. I would support restoring an annual allocation of approximately $700,000 to implement the Active Transportation Master Plan. Council has already approved the plan, and residents participated in developing it. If we are serious about making walking and cycling safer and creating better connections between neighbourhoods, parks, schools, businesses and other destinations, we

I would make a targeted investment in revitalizing Sarnia’s downtown and waterfront as one connected destination—but I would do it responsibly and only after our core infrastructure needs are properly prioritized.

The goal would be to remove unnecessary

Sarnia has tremendous assets: our waterfront, beaches, parks, arenas, sports facilities, proximity to the U.S. border and a community with a history of supporting major events. We should be using those assets much

Yes. What resources, financial, staff or otherwise, should the City make available to support these partnerships? The City should make it easier for qualified community organizations and partners to bring good ideas forward. That can include a clear point of contact at City Hall, streamlined approvals, reasonable fees and insurance requirements, access to existing facilities

I support investing in Sarnia’s waterfront, parks and public spaces. They are important to our quality of life, tourism, recreation and our ability to attract families and investment. But we also have to recognize our financial reality. We cannot fund every master plan at once. My first priority will be the basics: water and sewer
