“Provide proper facilities and supports through therapeutic communities to help people deal with mental health issues and effectively tackle the root causes.”

“A growing city requires post secondary education opportunities that help create local business opportunities and support the growth of our local economy.”

“Work with key stakeholders to bring high speed light rail transit to our city and the island on the old E & N Railway Line.”
