Policy commitments

Buildings

We all want healthy, affordable, and comfortable homes. These policies will help to lower energy bills, cut pollution, and improve indoor air quality.

~ Scale up energy retrofits for existing homes, businesses, and public buildings. Neutral
~ Implement a 'right to cool' bylaw to protect tenants during extreme heat events. Neutral
Climate Justice

Our community is already experiencing the harmful impacts of climate change caused by fossil fuel pollution, and taxpayers are on the hook to upgrade and repair critical infrastructure.

~ Enact a moratorium on AI data centres to protect our energy and water resources. Neutral
~ Pursue available legal options to recover a fair share of the climate costs facing our community from fossil fuel companies and other big polluters. Neutral
~ Collaborate with Indigenous peoples as partners in the stewardship of the land, air, and water, and work towards reconciliation. Neutral
Ecosystems

The air we breathe, the water we drink, and the food we eat all rely on healthy ecosystems. Nature can also help protect our community from extreme weather by controlling floods, protecting shorelines, and cooling neighbourhoods. Access to nature improves the health and well-being of residents, and supports biodiversity.

~ Expand and protect tree canopy, parks, and green infrastructure to cool neighbourhoods, clean air, and manage stormwater. Neutral
Land Use

We envision vibrant, walkable communities that protect nature and improve food security.

~ Build affordable homes near jobs, schools, shops, and transit. Neutral
~ Upgrade critical infrastructure for heat, fire, flood, and storm resilience. Neutral
Transport

Connecting neighbourhoods through public transit and active transportation networks will cut pollution, improve public health, and make our communities more affordable (and fun!).

~ Advocate to improve regional public transit between communities. Neutral
Zero Waste

Zero waste policies reduce pollution, keep waste out of landfills, build resilient local economies, and safeguard public health by shifting society away from a disposable culture toward a sustainable circular economy.

~ Implement zero waste bylaws to divert organic waste and recyclables from disposal. Neutral
✓ Supportive
~ Neutral

Climate action

How have you contributed to climate action in your community through advocacy, past work, advisory committees, volunteer work, and/or reducing your personal carbon footprint?
True climate action starts with fiscal and infrastructural integrity. As an engineer and developer with a background spanning sustainable electrical systems and responsible land development, my primary contribution has been fighting against massive municipal waste and corruption—most notably the multi-billion-dollar wastewater fiasco in the District of North Vancouver.

When public funds are mismanaged, squandered on flawed mega-projects, or lost to institutional scams, our community’s ability to fund genuine environmental protection, flood mitigation, and infrastructure resilience is crippled. True environmental stewardship requires absolute accountability. By exposing fraudulent billing, dismantling wasteful spending networks, and fighting to return public funds back to the residents, we ensure that DNV has the financial resources actually needed to protect our local ecosystems, creeks, and neighborhoods from climate threats.

My advocacy centers on transparent governance, ending administrative corruption, and ensuring every dollar spent serves the public good and safeguards our local environment.

Questions for North Vancouver (District of)

The District of North Vancouver is vulnerable to many climate-related risks (e.g., intense rainfall, flooding, sea level rise, wildfire, wildfire smoke, and extreme heat events). How will you address these risks to increase our community’s resilience?
To truly protect the District of North Vancouver from intense rainfall, flooding, wildfire risks, and extreme weather, we must first clean house and dismantle the administrative corruption and financial mismanagement that has plagued our critical infrastructure—specifically the wastewater treatment facility fiasco.

For too long, residents have been burdened by scam bills and mismanaged budgets while essential infrastructure remains vulnerable. As Mayor, my approach to resilience is built on absolute transparency and direct action:

Audit and Reform Infrastructure Spending: Root out the wasteful networks draining municipal resources so that every available dollar fortifies our storm systems, dykes, and drainage networks against heavy rainfall and sea-level rise.

Protect Residents First: Stop burdening taxpayers with fraudulent fees and redirect recovered funds into community-wide emergency preparedness, wildfire mitigation, and clean-air cooling centers during extreme heat events.

Rigorous Engineering Standards: Apply my background in electrical and real estate engineering to ensure that future development and climate-adaptation projects are executed competently, honestly, and on budget—without political interference or hidden scams.

We will secure our community's future by demanding the truth, fighting corruption head-on, and putting DNV residents first.
