I want Richmond Hill residents to know that I hear your concerns about safety in our city. As your Mayor, I am listening and working to do all I can to ensure our city is a safe one.
This is a new, regular column that I am adding to my monthly e-newsletter to share information with Richmond Hill residents. I will offer insights from my close working relationship with the York Region Police District 2. ‘Community Safety’ is very broad, so I will focus on one topic each month.
As Mayor of Richmond Hill, I am honoured to serve the residents of this great city.
Working together with my City Council colleagues, City staff, residents, community groups, businesses, and officials from other levels of government, I am determined to always listen, and advocate for the best interests of Richmond Hill.
Ever since I volunteered on a community committee over 18 years ago, I have been actively engaged in working to support this vibrant and inclusive city. As Ward 4 Councillor for 8+ years, I developed a solid reputation as someone who works collaboratively across diverse groups. I am committed to bringing that balanced and practical perspective to the role of Mayor.
