Together for today and tomorrow.
01 / Representing Ward 1 now
Listening to residents.
Taking action.
Representing Ward 1 on council has been a fulfilling experience. Sandra continues to meet with neighbourhood associations, homeowners’ associations, and community groups to understand residents’ priorities.
It is important to hear varying viewpoints and suggestions. Good representation means listening carefully, finding fair solutions, and following through.
Traffic safety
Keep school areas safe, make room for walkers and cyclists, and find fair, responsible solutions for everyone on our streets.
Strong neighbourhoods
Champion parks, green spaces, local businesses, neighbourhood groups, inclusion, and the everyday connections that make Ward 1 feel like home.
Economy
Recognize the pressure rising costs place on families and continue to budget responsibly for our ward and city.
Ward 1 is a community of attractive neighbourhoods, good neighbours, parks, green spaces, and local businesses. It is welcoming, diverse, and stronger when residents and community groups work together.
02 / Representing Ward 1 in the future
Keep making
a difference.
During Sandra’s two terms, council has focused on economic growth, safer streets, climate action, infrastructure, and stronger systems for Indigenous initiatives, anti-racism, and equity.
She wants to continue that important work while keeping Ward 1’s priorities at the centre of the conversation. That work must also include responsible water management and dependable roads and infrastructure that support daily life across Ward 1.
HousingSupport affordable options for first-time buyers, families, seniors, and renters, alongside green space and community amenities.
TrafficKeep children safe around schools, improve conditions for people walking and cycling, and treat drivers fairly with reasonable limits.
FairnessHelp make the Waterloo experience fair to people of diverse ages, abilities, cultures, and life experiences by breaking down barriers and encouraging inclusion.
EconomyScrutinize our budgets and ensure we are getting the best value for every dollar spent. Caring for and protecting our environment is essential. Water is a concern for our region and must be considered in all initiatives.
