WHY PARKS?
Parks and public spaces are central to tackling climate change, building resilient and inclusive communities, and recognizing Indigenous rights - urgent issues key to OneCity’s vision for a sustainable and just city.
From my background in environmental law and work as a lawyer for Indigenous Nations, I have learned to listen, build relationships and find common ground without compromising core values.
PARKS FOR ALL WALKS OF LIFE
I see parks and public spaces as central to tackling climate change and readying our community for its impacts. They are important sites for recognizing and upholding Indigenous laws and jurisdiction, and for building inclusive communities. With that, I am committed to lasting impact supported by three main advocacies:
