Richmond residents have entrusted me to be Mayor for 17 years. During this time Richmond has grown and prospered while we have enhanced our civic quality of life, sustainability and prosperity.
It’s been a privilege working for the people of Richmond on a wide variety of issues to improve our city. This has allowed me more opportunities to make Richmond a better place now and for the future.
As Richmond grows, it is important that we build on our award-winning success. My vision includes the key areas of Quality of Life, Community Safety, Environment, Transportation, and Business & Finance.
It’s been an honour and a privilege to serve as Mayor of Richmond since 2001. The City and people mean so much to me – we have been through a lot together. Over the years, we – the people of Richmond, our City Council and staff – have made our city better, more livable, more secure and more successful than ever. I am tremendously proud of how far we’ve come – how we’ve evolved. But it is certain that there remains a lot more to do. With the constant pressures of growth, we continue to face some key challenges.
