Accountability and service

A stronger, more accountable North Saanich

North Saanich residents deserve local government that communicates clearly, makes decisions transparently and remains accountable to the taxpayers it serves.

Jack believes the direction and communication of local government must renew a strong spirit of openness, responsibility and public service.

North Saanich should be a strong community within a great province. That means working constructively with residents, community organizations, neighbouring municipalities, First Nations, local businesses and the Province of British Columbia.

Government should listen to residents, explain its decisions and remain accountable for the results.
Jack's priorities

Practical leadership for North Saanich

Transparent decisions and responsible stewardship of the community residents have worked hard to build.

01

Transparent municipal budgeting

Residents deserve clear, timely and understandable information about municipal finances, changing costs and the results taxpayers should expect.

02

Accountability to taxpayers

Significant expenditures should be justified by community need, affordability and value for money.

03

A practical housing response

North Saanich must address provincial housing direction while protecting infrastructure capacity, environmental assets and rural character.

04

Community-informed recreation

Recreation decisions should reflect meaningful consultation with residents, facility users, community organizations and affected neighbourhoods.

05

Infrastructure and responsible growth

Housing and growth must be planned together with roads, water, drainage, sewage, emergency services and community facilities.

06

Respectful, responsive government

Residents should feel heard, informed and respected. Decisions should be explained clearly and supported by evidence.

07

Working with people

Strong communities are built through collaboration. Jack will work with residents, First Nations, neighbouring municipalities, community organizations, businesses and other levels of government to achieve practical results.

Collaboration

Building relationships at every level

Strong communities are built through collaboration. Jack has developed constructive relationships at the local, regional, provincial and federal levels and will use those relationships to advance the interests of North Saanich.
