Priorities

Over the past four years, it has been my honour to serve as your Mayor in Medicine Hat. Although as a community we have made strides forward in increased transparency at City Hall, collaboration with our neighbouring municipalities, keeping our utilities local, and more, we are not done yet. There is still work to do.

My Mission

To provide transparent, accountable leadership that builds trust, empowers residents, and
drives strategic economic growth—making Medicine Hat a place where families, young people,
businesses, and community groups can thrive

My Vision

Building a strong and inclusive Medicine Hat—where innovation, wellness, and opportunity drive a brighter future for every resident.

My Values

1. Accountability & Trust

We are committed to openness and honesty in every decision. By sharing information clearly and holding ourselves accountable, we build the trust that strong leadership depends on.

2. Collaboration & Inclusivity

We know that lasting success comes from working together. By empowering staff, breaking down silos, and building genuine partnerships locally and beyond, we strengthen both our community and our economy.

3. Exceptional User Experience

City services should be designed around the people who use them. By streamlining processes and reducing barriers, we create a system that is simple, responsive, and people-focused, not weighed down by bureaucracy.

4. Evidence-Driven Innovation

We approach policymaking and service delivery as ongoing work—measured, tested, and improved through feedback and real-world results. By encouraging data-driven decisions and practical innovation, we ensure services keep evolving to meet community needs.

5. Community Wellness & Empowerment

A healthy city is one where every resident can thrive. We invest in housing, recreation, safety, and health, while empowering local groups and businesses already making a difference. Our role is to support community leadership, not control it.
