ROOTED IN THE SAULT

A quick study of Sault Ste. Marie’s history reveals this area has been a gathering place for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Not surprisingly, my story is similar to that of many people in Sault Ste. Marie. Despite being from different continents, and different cultures, my parents were both hard workers who came to Sault Ste. Marie in search of opportunities to better themselves and establish roots. Within one generation of their arrival, I’ve been chosen by our community with the responsibility to guide it over the course of the next Council term. I am so grateful to the community for having entrusted me with its support.

WORKING HARD EVERY DAY FOR YOU

Sault Ste. Marie is facing its fair share of challenges. While our situation is not unique, what makes us unique is our impressive collective capacity to continue rising to meet the obstacles in front of us. I am fully aware of our challenges and work hard every day to drive solutions. I wanted to find a way to let the community know what we’re working on because I know it is easier to hear about our problems than it is to learn about what we’re doing to address them, and the Six Month Report series is a way to do exactly that. We can – and we will – fix the problems we face and unlock our promise.
