I will do everything I can to strengthen that work, to be a connector, a collaborator, and a representative who reflects the values we all share with integrity and accountability.”

The Deputy Mayor has a Master’s degree in Urban and Rural Planning from the Technical University of Nova Scotia and brings over 20 years of experience working with communities throughout the Atlantic Provinces.
