My Vision for Burnaby

Burnaby is at a turning point.

How we respond to growth today will shape affordability, mobility, and quality of life for years to come. These four priorities reflect where I believe City Council needs to focus now.


1. Affordable Housing

Burnaby needs housing options that reflect real incomes.

I will advocate for:

  • Incentives that encourage the development of affordable housing

  • Support for community land trusts and non-profit housing initiatives

  • Zoning policies that allow for more diverse housing types where appropriate

2. Improved Transportation

Transportation planning must be realistic and forward-looking.

My focus includes:

  • Improving public transit reliability and frequency

  • Investing in safer cycling infrastructure

  • Encouraging practical solutions that reduce congestion without disrupting neighbourhoods

3. Environmental Initiatives

Burnaby can lead responsibly without sacrificing livability.

That means:

  • Protecting and expanding parks and green spaces

  • Supporting renewable energy initiatives where they make sense

  • Promoting waste reduction, recycling, and composting programs that residents can actually use

4. Community Engagement

Strong cities are built with residents, not around them.

I support:

  • Regular town halls and open forums

  • Opportunities for youth to engage in civic life

  • Cultural events that reflect Burnaby’s diversity and strengthen community connection

Why I’m the Right Candidate

I’m not running because I want a title — I’m running because I believe local leadership matters.

My work and volunteer experience have kept me connected to people across the community. I understand the challenges residents face, and I believe solutions work best when they are grounded in real experience, not ideology.

A Collaborative Approach

Good decisions come from collaboration.

I believe City Council works best when residents, businesses, and community organizations are treated as partners. Transparency, accessibility, and accountability aren’t slogans — they’re expectations.

The Road Ahead

This campaign is about more than an election. It’s about ensuring Burnaby grows in a way that remains livable, connected, and fair.

I’m committed to listening, showing up, and doing the work — consistently.

​Support Our Cause

This campaign runs on people — not corporations, unions, or backroom money. BC election rules allow only Canadian citizens and permanent residents to donate, and strict annual limits apply. That means real community support is the only way forward. Every dollar goes directly toward outreach, voter engagement, and building a campaign that answers to residents — not insiders. If you want practical leadership in Burnaby, this is how you back it. E-trasnfers garnet@garnetfor burnaby.ca
