The Vision
Downtown St. Catharines can once again be a vibrant, economic centre where citizens make time to shop, visit, and experience the culture.
All of the issues we consider to be a problem in the core intersect. I believe we have enough resources within the municipality's purview that we could take meaningful steps to provide solutions.
What I will bring to the core:
•Converting surplus properties into attainably priced public housing
•Full support of the Welcoming Streets program
•Streamlining the process and making it easy for businesses to open
•Free 2-hour parking downtown
