About
OCT 20 IS THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION AND I AM SEEKING YOUR SUPPORT
I am running for re-election because the issues that are important to Saanich are important to me. As a mother and grand-mother I am committed to make decisions on your behalf as we deal with inevitable growth while preserving a livable community and protecting our natural environment.
In the months leading up to the Oct 20 election I look forward to meeting with as many Saanich residents as possible. I will be out door knocking throughout the municipality and making myself available to invitations for all candidates meetings and panel discussions.
