Says growth has outpaced essential infrastructure and amenities and pledges to 'balance growth with what our environment can sustain.' He argues that adding supply alone has not made housing affordable. His non-profit DWIFT favours 'gentle densification' (low-rise apartments and townhomes). He has not called for a pause on approvals, nor taken a position on tall buildings or new greenfield neighbourhoods. [source]

“Balance growth with what our environment can sustain, so future development serves both people and the planet”

Limited evidence

Housing is his professional field. He co-founded DWIFT Housing Society to build homes and sell them at cost (reported in 2024 as 25-30% below market) to middle-income households, and DWIFT sought District land on Pioneer Way for that purpose. His platform promises 'housing that locals can afford throughout their lives.' No stated position on DCCs/ACCs or inclusionary zoning. [source]

“Towns across B.C.—and the world—are getting creative in solving the housing and affordability crises, and I believe Squamish can, and must, too.”

Well documented

He leads Zero Ceiling, which provides supportive housing and employment to young adults facing homelessness in the Sea to Sky. However, no public statement was found on Squamish shelters, the Government Road supportive housing, Under One Roof, encampments or vehicle residents. [source]

“These are people who often fall through the cracks—but I've always found that, when we listen to what they really need, and then take action, they can thrive here just as much as anyone else.”

Limited evidence

Pledges to freeze property taxes for 2027 and 'spend your dollars transparently and thoughtfully.' He criticizes the 12.8% 2026 tax increase, questions whether $21M spent at Brennan Park met residents' most pressing needs, and says the last two District capital projects ran more than $20M over budget. He also wants new recreation amenities, ideally funded through a renegotiated WLNG deal; he has not said what he would cut to fund the freeze. [source]

“...they don't feel heard, and they don't feel their tax dollars are being spent effectively to make Squamish a place where they can thrive.”

Well documented

In a Sept 14, 2026 op-ed he asked council to reject the proposed 10-year WLNG agreement, saying about $14M a year is not enough to leave a lasting asset, the money should be committed to a community-selected legacy project, and the pre-election timeline shuts out the public. He wants robust environmental monitoring of WLNG. He has not said he opposes the plant itself; no specific positions found on climate policy, the estuary or wildfire. [source]

“Making such a consequential decision under duress and without meaningful public engagement is irresponsible.”

Well documented

His platform promises to 'invest in modernized transport that meets our diverse needs' but gives no detail. No stated position found on regional transit, Highway 99, parking or active transportation. [source]

“Invest in modernized transport that meets our diverse needs”

Limited evidence

Platform pledges to 'support local businesses to thrive' and to 'ensure big business and industry fairly and transparently contribute to our community.' He points to the forestry era as a lesson that industry revenue must leave lasting community assets. No stated position on employment lands, tourism or downtown. [source]

“We need to ensure that the benefits industry brings continue to serve Squamish long after that industry leaves.”
