Accepts that growth will continue and wants to shape it: 'We can't stop that change' (Squamish Reporter, Sept 3, 2026). In 2022 she said she supports the OCP growth management boundary to focus growth within the existing footprint as compact, walkable communities, and pledged support for higher-density infill along transit. Caveat: no specific statement on building heights above six storeys was found, and the boundary statements date from 2022. [source]

“I am supportive of the growth management boundary established in the OCP. This helps us focus future growth within our existing footprint.”

Some evidence

Campaigns on 446 below-market homes built during her eight years (300+ more coming) and sits on the Housing Squamish board. She says pre-zoning alone won't deliver housing for extreme core need or homelessness and that 'other partnership and other models' are needed. She also defended selling District land on Pioneer Way to fund core infrastructure rather than reserving it all for affordable housing, and says amenity contributions could now shift toward recreation and culture. [source]

“There are limited opportunities with public land … to actually advance the issue of affordable housing. We also as a municipality need to provide fire halls and public works facilities.”

Well documented

Supported the 60-year lease for 65 supportive housing units on Government Road and described BC Housing's proposed temporary HEARTH units as needed bridge housing, while moving a motion to bring BC Housing to a public meeting to answer location concerns. As mayor she would consider a mayor's task force on the unhoused and street disorder and explore safe lots/permits for vehicle residents. [source]

“I don't think there's ever a welcome place often, unfortunately, to house those who are the most vulnerable in our community. But there are, as for our last Point-In-Time count, 125 individuals who need a home—not in six months, not in 12 months, not in two years, but today.”

Well documented

Supported the District's first 10-year financial plan (adopted unanimously; it projected tax increases of about 13% in 2027 and 12.9% in 2028) and adding WLNG tax revenue to asset-management reserves. She defends spending on fire halls, the public works facility and wastewater plant, and now promises zero-based budgeting while making room for amenities like Brennan Park. [source]

“Instead of rolling over budgets year-to-year, taking the time and providing transparency and ensuring every dollar gets accounted for from zero.”

Well documented

Add: 'She also voted IN FAVOUR of FortisBC's workers' lodge temporary use permit in 2024, which council rejected 4-3.' And change '15 of 16 climate commitments in a 2022 survey' to '15 of 16 climate commitments in the 2022 candidate survey run by My Sea to Sky, an advocacy group opposed to Woodfibre LNG'. [source]

“I don't support the project as a whole. I think the continued development of fossil fuels goes against our local, provincial and federal commitments, and international commitments on climate. I'm also a pragmatist and a realist.”

Well documented

Lists transit expansion among issues she would press the province on and cites regional transit advocacy through her SLRD role. In a 2022 survey she committed to advocating for regional transit, investing in local transit and investing in active transportation networks. Parking was one of her most frequent motion topics on council, but no current campaign position on paid parking or a parkade was found. [source]

“Sitting at the SLRD table has allowed me to work with partners across the region on big issues that we know Squamish can't solve alone such as solid waste management, advocacy on regional transit, and regional growth management strategies.”

Some evidence

Her priorities page talks about 'supporting the people, small businesses, and community organizations that make Squamish awesome,' and in March 2026 she listed economic growth and diversification among the top issues facing Squamish. No detailed campaign proposals on employment lands, tourism or downtown were found. [source]
