My passion lies in developing buildings, transportation networks, parks, trails and greenspaces for citizens to use and enjoy. I am fortunate to work with a group of dedicated individuals who are driven by the same passion and are committed to moving the City of Vaughan forward.

 

The creation of this portfolio places the City of Vaughan in a better position to approach major capital projects from start to finish -- Planning and Growth Management plans the projects; Infrastructure Development builds them; and Public Works operates and maintains them. This creates clear accountability to deliver the $730 million in capital projects that staff is responsible for in this Term of Council. It also aligns nicely with many of the strategic priorities outlined in the 2018-2022 Term of Council Service Excellence Strategic Plan including City Building, Transportation and Mobility, and Active, Safe and Diverse Communities (to name a few).

 

The departments in my portfolio – Infrastructure Planning and Corporate Asset Management, Infrastructure Delivery, Parks Delivery, Real Estate and Facility Management – function to ensure that city infrastructure projects are carried out in a high-quality, timely and knowledgeable manner.

 

My goal is to continue leveraging the expertise I have gained throughout the last 25 years to support Vaughan as it continues to grow and evolve.
