In the 2022 election he answered a questionnaire from My Sea to Sky, an anti-LNG advocacy group, in his own words: he said he was supportive of the Cheema Lands and North Crumpit proposals, giving as his reason that Squamish has 'too many competing uses of scarce valley bottom lands' and 'must learn to build housing on upper slopes responsibly', and opposed to Garibaldi at Squamish because 'scale of proposed development is a big concern'. These are 2022 answers. [source]

“I am in alignment with Councillor Greenlaw's concerns, in particular with the 400 metre distance. I'm uncomfortable with how far it goes.”

Some evidence

In 2022 he called for continued negotiation of affordable units with the Housing Society involved, lower processing and transaction costs for developers, construction innovation (including wood products) and much more advocacy to senior governments. No 2026 campaign statement on housing found. [source]

“I think we shouldn't limit ourselves to the powers that we have. I mean, as a municipality, I think we need to be doing more strategic advocacy, vis-à-vis the federal and provincial [...] governments. (2022)”

Some evidence

Part of the unanimous July 2026 vote endorsing a 60-year lease for 65 supportive homes at 39900 Government Road. He raised nearby residents' concerns, said relationship-building with neighbours is central, and asked for aesthetics similar to Spirit Creek. No broader public statement on encampments found. [source]

Limited evidence

Voted with the rest of council to adopt the 2026-2035 financial plan (12.8% tax revenue increase for 2026). His long-standing argument is that Squamish over-relies on residential taxes and needs a bigger employment and industrial tax base. On facilities he stresses having updated plans ready for outside funding. [source]

“We understand there's impatience in the community with respect to facilities. But unless we have updated roadmaps and adequate plans, we won't be ready when funding sources come along.”

Some evidence

... In 2022 he framed forestry and wood products as 'green tech' and climate action. In the same 2022 My Sea to Sky survey that records his support for Cheema Lands and North Crumpit, he also committed to 14 of the group's 16 climate actions - including advocating that the province let local governments ban new gas hookups, protecting natural assets, a biodiversity conservation strategy and adopting the doughnut-economics model - declining only the fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty and Sue Big Oil. [source]

“I support natural gas as a 'bridging fuel', and I support WLNG's ongoing efforts to protect (and enhance, through extensive site remediation investments) the local marine environment. (2022)”

Well documented

In 2022 he backed regional transit options (including fast-ferry technology), said Squamish has diverse parking problems needing new facilities and enforcement, and proposed wood-built parkades designed for re-purposing. In 2025 he voted against removing parking minimums for six-unit lots near future frequent transit. No 2026 statement found. [source]

Some evidence

His signature issue. Wants land-use strategies for forestry, wood manufacturing, port lands, tourism and logistics, and warns that re-zoning former industrial land has left Squamish unprepared for high-wage employers. [source]

“What we are selling to the rest of the world from Squamish is mostly the right to live here. This is unbalanced and unsustainable. We can do better. (2022 campaign announcement)”
