Yes, I'm young, but my values and roots are strong
Over the past two months, I’ve had the pleasure of knocking on the doors of over 1000 residents in Ward 3. I’ve had many great conversations & learned so much. As a university student, I’ve been asked if I’m old enough to be a Councillor. I understand the responsibility that comes with this role, I appreciate those concerns, & I want to address them here. With deep roots in Springwater, I have the experience, connections & ideas necessary to effectively represent you & your concerns.
