My Action Plan 

Welcome to my platform for my campaign for a seat on Langley City Council. I hope it answers any questions people may have. Striving to make Langley City a more livable city. That's what I'm here for. But what does that mean to me?

For me, improved livability means having a community that provides all of the needs to it's residents and visitors with a balanced approach to a comfortable home life, productive work life, and an entertaining social life.

1.   A comfortable home life means safe and secure neighborhoods. We need a better understanding of what works and what doesn't in regard to keeping our City safe and secure. Many calls to our first responders involve homelessness and mental health issues. Our City needs to focus on collaborating with surrounding communities to address these issues with a housing first approach. This combined with additional resources that are currently available and areas for expansion with help to alleviate these issues are allowing our first responder resources to be better allocated. Expanding current local lower income, social and co-op housing is imperative if we are to help our seniors, people with disabilities and others in need, to retain and obtain affordable housing. In addition, we need to review expanding our housing stock to allow more legal suites and construction of guest/coach houses which would help two-fold. One, increase the number of available rentals, and two supplement those who are looking at or are currently in the detached housing market. 

2.  In my opinion, a productive work life means being in a community that is open for business. Being a smaller community, our City needs to continue to help established businesses grow and also make it attractive to new businesses. With expansion to transit as well as improvements to parking and accessibility, our City can have all the amenities needed within a walkable community. This means making it as easy as possible for businesses to set up shop and flourish in our City. We can do this by minimizing red tape and providing incentives for companies to expand into Langley City. Increasing community involvement in activities such as farmers markets, special events, volunteer work and adding a variety of entertainment will help foster a greater sense of community and could generate support from neighbouring communities. By allowing business to grow in our community in our City, we create more job opportunities for our residents and enable them to work where they live. 

3.  Personally, an entertaining social life means having fun in your own backyard. An interactive, innovative and inclusive social atmosphere is a must in creating a thriving community. Social events within our City help to supply residents with a sense of pride in their community and allow visitors to enjoy all that the community has to offer. I believe our City can expand on its unique identity to truly stand out in the GVRD as a destination and not just a city between cities. We can review additional usage of our parks and recreation centres to include year-round activities and events to really engage our community. Increasing involvement in arts and culture will open up Langley to endless possibilities of entertainment for all ages within our own City and surrounding communities.

About Jeff

 Langley's been my home for 43 years. I've seen our community grow and become an integral part of the lower mainland. Currently serving 19 years as a frontline municipal worker, 4 years as council/president of a 69 unit strata building. 3 years as an executive member of CUPE Local 403 and 2 years as provincial council delegate on Langley City MLA, Andrew Mercier's executive. This experience, combined with a strong belief in transparency, accountability, progressive and meaningful decision making would strengthen our city council. Affordability, homelessness, an expanding transit infrastructure and a growing population are top of mind with our citizens. Our city needs someone that genuinely listens, works with the public, staff and council, as well as the provincial and federal government. The time is now, and the choice is yours Langley City. Let me be your voice and together we can shape our city's future.
