What Drives My Concern

What's Happening

The Change We Need

What's Happening

As a long-time Hamilton resident, I’ve watched our city grow and change — but not always for the better. Over the past few years, City Council has raised property taxes by more than 25%, a decision supported by our local councillor. It’s becoming harder for families and businesses to keep up, and residents deserve better value for their money.

Why it Matters

The Change We Need

What's Happening

These issues affect all of us. When roads aren’t maintained, when taxes climb higher, and when safety becomes a concern, it impacts our quality of life and the future of our neighbourhoods. I believe we need more accountability, smarter spending, and leadership that puts people first.

The Change We Need

The Change We Need

The Change We Need

Ancaster and our surrounding areas agree we should:

    1. Build Roads That Work

    2. Lower Property Taxes

    3. Reduce Crime

    4. End the Rain Tax

Together, we can make sure Hamilton works for everyone!
