Key Answers from The 155 Podcast

Summaries of this candidate’s answers to five standard questions in their interview on The 155 Podcast. These are paraphrases of the candidate’s own statements and have not been verified by HamiltonVotes.ca.

Two city-wide priorities, and how to achieve them

  • Roads and road safety: reassess Vision Zero, compile data on busy areas shared by motorists, pedestrians and e-device users, connect broken bike paths and add better-signed, better-lit pedestrian crossovers. She cites her son being hit by an e-bike and a fatality on Upper Ottawa.

Two changes to improve City services

  • More recreational availability and variety for children, youth and seniors, easing the competitive registration sign-ups.
  • Make services easier to access, with fewer hoops for simple things.

Two changes to improve quality of life in Hamilton

  • More events in new locations beyond Gage Park, including locations more accessible for people using wheelchairs.
  • More options for healthy living and activity, indoors and outdoors.

Two priorities for Ward 6

  • Community and family supports: she says Ward 6 has the lowest access to child care in the city (11% per the 2021 census) and wants infant care at an existing site such as C.B. Stirling.
  • Mental-health supports closer to home: crisis, prevention and harm-reduction services and therapy in or near the ward rather than downtown.

Three words for a four-year term (looking back from September 2030)

Impactful, positive, memorable.
