10/26/2022

Thank you to the many neighbours, friends and everyone who helped during the campaign with fixing signs, sorting literature, taking signs, distributing literature, messages of support, emails, endorsements, discussions, strategizing and of course voting.

I was honoured to receive the support of 695 voters in Oshawa. I was excited to support the campaigns of Durham District School Board trustee candidates Shailene Panylo, Deb Oldfield, Tony Stravato in Ward 2 and Whitby Councillor candidate Niki Lundquist at the start of her campiagn. Congratulations to Shailene, Deb and Niki who were declared elected last evening.

In Ward 2 Oshawa, JIm Lee was the successfully elected candidate.

The campaign was a fascinating experience. Ward 2 has grown and there are many new residents in north Oshawa where construction of homes continues. I met so many wonderful people who are hopeful of making change. I hope we can all continue to work together on neighbourhood and ward 2 issues to make our Oshawa a great place to live.

Success! Citizen Lobbying for Traffic Signals at Taunton Road West @ Northbrook/Patton

The Region of Durham Roads and Traffic staff responded to my email /complaint/lobby saying:

"This locations is under active investigation including updated traffic counts, field observations, traffic analysis; and preliminary design work.

The Region has plans to move forward with a traffic control signal at this intersection, with design starting in 2023 and construction planned for 2024. Constructing timing depends on competing priorities and available budget."

Candidates and citizens working together make things happen!

The Climate Emergency Unit and Ontario Nature share this important message below for voters in Ward 2. I was endorsed by Climate Justice Durham after completing their survey. It's time to vote for people who can take action on these priorities. Ward 2 continues to face challenges of balancing development interests to increase housing supply with affordability, protecting natural areas and systems and conserving what little farmland is left.
