Tom’s Plan
Focused on What Matters Most
Tom’s plan is built around the real pressures facing residents, families, seniors, local businesses, and neighbourhoods: public safety, affordability, infrastructure, taxes, housing, local jobs, and pride in our city.
The Issues
Six Priorities for Cranbrook
Public Safety & Community Confidence
Cranbrook needs safe streets, clean public spaces, practical support for people in crisis, and better coordination between enforcement and service providers.

A stronger Cranbrook starts with the businesses already investing here. Tom brings a practical business lens to City Hall.

Housing targets must become real homes, supported by roads, water, sewer, services, and responsible planning.
Read More →Accountable City Hall & Taxpayer Value
Residents deserve clear priorities, careful spending, plain-language budgets, less bureaucracy, and visible reporting on results.
Read More →Civic Pride & Community Connection
Cleaner and safer streets, stronger youth opportunities, supported volunteers, active seniors, and cared-for public spaces.
Read More →Regional Leadership & Provincial Advocacy
Cranbrook needs a mayor who understands local government, regional partnerships, and how to work with the provincial government in Victoria.

The Issues Are Connected. So Is Tom’s Experience.
Public safety connects to housing, health, bylaw, policing, and downtown confidence. Housing connects to infrastructure, development timelines, affordability, and provincial policy. Economic growth connects to taxes, permits, workforce, transportation, and quality of life.
Tom has worked in each of these worlds: business, City Hall, regional government, hospital district service, and provincial politics. That is the difference he brings to the mayor’s office.
First 100 Days
Clarity, Priorities, Action
In the first 100 days, Tom will work with council to establish a practical action agenda focused on accountability and visible progress.
Taxpayer Value Review
Identify where residents need clearer reporting on costs, service levels, and results.
Public Priorities Dashboard
Track major projects, service standards, budget updates, and key issue areas.
Meet Business Leaders
Begin a business retention and expansion conversation on what is working, what is not, and what City Hall can improve.
Review Public Safety
Bring together RCMP, bylaw, Fire and Emergency Services, outreach, and service partners to assess gaps.
Housing Bottlenecks
Identify approved projects that are stalled, infrastructure constraints, and process improvements.
Civic Pride Action List
Visible improvements residents can see in public spaces, streets, graffiti response, and upkeep.
The goal is not another report that sits on a shelf. The goal is a clearer City Hall and visible progress residents can measure.
