People. Planet. Prosperity.

Change is coming. Guelph is ready for fresh leadership and I'm excited to bring new ideas and energy to the role of mayor. As the world changes rapidly around us, Guelph is feeling the pressure. With that, also come opportunities.

To build the city we deserve in complicated times requires experienced, serious, compassionate leadership, now more than ever before. I hope you will join me in the journey ahead.

I've spent decades in community service -- listening, learning and leading -- and my eyes are wide open to the most significant issues facing our community. As the next few months unfold, please come back to this site for more detailed information on real, actionable, and affordable solutions.

There is lots more to come. In the meantime, I want to hear from you! I am listening. Add your voice by completing the survey at the link below.

I can't wait to get started!

DONATE

We need to reach every citizen in Guelph. Donations make that goal possible. Every little bit helps create the Guelph we deserve.

Carbon Neutral Campaign

I am committed to making this election campaign carbon neutral through the use of digital resources wherever possible, recycled and recyclable materials, use of local and BCorp businesses, living wage support, and carbon offsets for environmental impact.

Territorial Acknowledgement

I acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional lands of the Hodinöhsö:ni' and Anishinaabe and the treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit. I offer my respect and gratitude to the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples who call these lands home. I commit to meaningful actions of truth and reconciliation that repair the harm of colonization.

Equity and Inclusion

I am committed to ensuring every citizen can participate fully in the 2026 municipal election. If you require campaign information in an alternate format, please contact me. If you require accessible voting options, please reach out and I will arrange assistance through the City Clerk office on your behalf.
