The candidate’s platform presents a well-structured approach to the housing crisis, particularly regarding the Sydenham district’s unique challenges. By prioritizing the completion of the Student Housing Strategy and the Heritage Management Plan before the Official Plan adoption in June 2027, there is a clear emphasis on due diligence and community input. The focus on intensification within the existing urban boundary, rather than sprawl, aligns with sustainable development principles. Additionally, the commitment to ensuring Queen’s University develops its own housing strategy, connected to city-wide efforts, addresses a critical gap in supply. The desire to sit on the Heritage Properties Committee further underscores a dedication to preserving the district’s character while accommodating growth. This comprehensive plan provides a solid foundation for effective governance.
