New ideas. Fresh perspective.

A platform built for a growing Thorold

Four priorities, one tax plan and a youth strategy — each written so residents can hold council to it.

Strong Families

Supporting parents, affordable childcare and safe, inclusive neighbourhoods across every ward in Thorold.

Advocate for accessible, affordable childcare spaces as new subdivisions come online.
Expand family programming at city facilities during evenings and school breaks.
Keep neighbourhood streets safe with traffic calming, lighting and sidewalk repair.

Quality Education & Youth

Investing in after-school programs, STEM opportunities and lifelong learning through city partnerships.

Partner with school boards, libraries and Brock University on after-school and STEM programming.
Open city space for tutoring, robotics, coding clubs and youth leadership councils.
Pursue provincial and federal youth grants so programs stay affordable for families.

Better Connectivity

Improving transit options and infrastructure for a Thorold that is easier to move through and to grow in.

Push for better Niagara Region Transit frequency and reliable student routes.
Prioritize road, water and stormwater renewal on a published, preventative schedule.
Make active transportation — sidewalks, trails and bike routes — part of every road project.

Vibrant Community

Building safe parks, recreational spaces and a healthy environment that residents of every age can enjoy.

Renew playgrounds, courts and washrooms in existing parks before adding new ones.
Protect green space and tree canopy as Thorold grows.
Support community events, cultural celebrations and volunteer groups.

Lower taxes. Smarter spending.

Three solutions to high property taxes

Property taxes are the number one concern raised at the door. Controlling them takes discipline on spending and a wider commercial base — not one-time gimmicks.

Reduce Wasteful Spending

Conduct regular, published spending reviews.
Eliminate duplicate programs and unnecessary administrative costs.

Grow the Tax Base

Attract new businesses and responsible development.
More commercial tax revenue helps reduce the burden on homeowners.

Invest in Smarter Infrastructure

Use provincial and federal grants wherever they are available.
Prioritize preventative maintenance to avoid costly emergency repairs.

Invest in today, inspire tomorrow
