WARD 6 PRIORITIES
Focused on practical solutions, recreation, infrastructure, and housing to build a stronger community for everyone.
With $15 million in funding already secured and plans fully prepared, this facility is ready to be built. We cannot afford further delays on a project that our community has been promised and heavily invested in. It is time to deliver the infrastructure Valley East deserves.
A modern multi-ice pad complex is essential for our growing community, providing necessary recreation space for youth programs, sports leagues, and public skating. Moving forward now ensures we capitalize on existing funds before construction costs rise any further.
I will bring forward a motion to construct the facility immediately using the $15 million in existing funds, without incurring additional external borrowing.
Proper drainage is essential to protecting our homes and municipal infrastructure. As extreme weather events become more frequent, Ward 6 needs a proactive, fully-funded approach to stormwater management rather than costly reactive fixes.
I will push for immediate infrastructure assessments in our most vulnerable neighborhoods and secure dedicated municipal funding for long-term stormwater solutions—without relying on external borrowing.
A reliable road network isn't just a convenience—it's the backbone of a functioning ward. We need a proactive approach to infrastructure that fixes problems before they escalate.
Fewer disruptive repairs and smoother daily drives for residents.
Well-maintained roads plow cleaner, preventing dangerous ice buildup.
Saves families money on preventable suspension and tire damage.
Reduces traffic bottlenecks caused by severe road degradation.
Preventative sealing costs significantly less than full road reconstruction.
Provides safer conditions for cyclists and pedestrians sharing the shoulder.
I will advocate for aggressive front-line investment in road crack sealing and targeted micro-surfacing. By shifting funds toward preventative maintenance, we can extend the lifespan of Ward 6 roads by years, stretch our tax dollars further, and reduce the seasonal pothole crisis.
With strategic investments and community partnerships, we can reduce homelessness and build a stronger, more inclusive neighborhood where everyone has a place to call home.
This approach prioritizes sustainable solutions that provide safe housing and essential services, fostering stability and opportunity for our most vulnerable residents.
I will propose actionable steps to address homelessness by increasing affordable housing options and strengthening community support programs, ensuring effective use of available resources without added financial burdens.
René believes good local government starts with listening. Whether you have a question, a concern, or just want to share your vision for our community, your voice matters. Join the campaign to build a brighter, more responsive Ward 6.
