Values & Vision
A strong Olds starts with strong leadership, grounded in trust, driven by action, and committed to community.
I envision a community where every resident feels heard, respected, and supported. A town that grows with purpose, preserving our rural roots while planning wisely for the future. I believe in making Olds a place where families thrive, businesses succeed, and our shared values are reflected in every decision we make at the Council table.
My vision for Olds includes
• Responsible growth that balances infrastructure, services, and sustainability
• Collaborative relationships with neighbouring municipalities and community partners
• A safe, vibrant, and inclusive town that welcomes innovation while protecting what makes us unique
Integrity
I believe that leadership must be honest, consistent, and ethical. I will always aim to do what’s right, not what’s easy, and will bring truth and transparency to every conversation.
Transparency
Residents deserve to know how decisions are made and why. I will advocate for open communication, timely updates, and accessible dialogue on all major issues affecting our town.
Community Voice
Good governance starts with listening. I will continue to champion meaningful public input and make sure every resident has the opportunity to be part of the process.
Accountability
Every decision made by Council should reflect responsibility to both today’s taxpayers and tomorrow’s generations. I will hold myself and our town to the highest standards of fiscal and strategic accountability.
Experience in Action
With years of public service and leadership behind me, I bring the perspective needed to navigate challenges, manage complex issues, and deliver real results for our town.
Respect and Inclusion
Olds is stronger when we value diverse perspectives. I believe in treating every resident with dignity and creating a welcoming environment for all.
