Born and raised in Tisdale, I have proudly called this community home my entire life. After more than 30 years as a teacher here, I’ve had the privilege of helping shape the lives of countless young people. Teaching has taught me that leadership is not about titles — it’s about service.
As someone who has recently retired from teaching and managing the Falkon Theatre, I now have the time and energy to dedicate myself fully to serving as your mayor.
I’m running because I believe in Tisdale — its people, its potential, and its future.
My Priorities for Tisdale
1. Health Care
- Continue working to recruit and retain doctors for our community — something I’ve already been actively involved in through my role on the Medical Clinic Board.
- Strengthen local health services and partnerships to ensure residents can access quality care close to home.
- Support initiatives that promote community wellness and mental health.
2. Economic Growth & Infrastructure
- Support local businesses and encourage new investment in Tisdale.
- Maintain and modernize our infrastructure to meet future needs.
- Work collaboratively with regional partners to strengthen our economic base.
3. Education & Literacy
- Draw on my 30+ years as a teacher to champion learning as the foundation of community success.
- Engage youth and adults in programs that strengthen reading, communication, and critical-thinking skills.
- Build partnerships between schools, businesses, and community organizations to create pathways for skills development and local employment.
4. Community & Governance
- Bring integrity, transparency, and collaboration to every decision made at Town Hall.
- Support the library, recreation, and cultural programs that help our community thrive.
- Ensure every voice in Tisdale is heard and respected.
5. Youth Engagement
- As a lifelong educator, I know the power of youth engagement.
- Work to create opportunities for young people to get involved in local decision-making.
- Promote programs that make our youth proud to live, learn, and eventually raise families here in Tisdale.
Together, we can build a stronger, healthier, and more connected Tisdale.
