Collaboration -
neighbours working together to make our community strong
Once we're really communicating, we have to do much better at planning and working together to build a strong and resilient community.
I'm committed to working collaboratively toward solutions -- with citizens, community groups, neighbouring governments, First Nations and senior levels of government.
Democracy can and should be a collaboration. It should not feel like a tug of war, but more like building a house or planting a garden.
