Keeping It Sooke!

Protect what we love, and plan wisely for what’s next.

• Let’s ground decisions in the priorities our community has already voiced through the Official Community Plan and other guiding documents.

• Support smart budgeting, practical solutions to traffic and infrastructure challenges, and readiness for emergencies and the future.

• Strengthen connections between municipal departments, local groups, and residents—so we’re working together to support the good work already happening in Sooke.

• Our town centre should reflect the spirit of Sooke—friendly, welcoming, and people-focused.

• It’s time to move forward with a new Town Centre Plan—let's plan for a thriving community and waterfront with public space, views, access to the water, and safe, walkable streets that bring our community together.

• Work to support local business to strengthen our local economy, making it easier to do business in Sooke—through clear policies, reliable infrastructure, and sound financial management.

• Growth is inevitable—sprawl isn’t. Let’s guide development in a way that respects Sooke’s natural beauty and small-town character.

• We must protect green spaces, forested hills, and public access to the ocean—honouring our identity as “where the rainforest meets the sea.”

• New growth should reflect our values and enhance the setting we all love, not chip away at what makes Sooke special.

This is more than a campaign — it’s a continuation of the collaborative work I’ve been part of through Sooke's Official Community Plan process and other community planning initiatives.

Here is what I’ve heard from the people of Sooke, and the values that I will carry forward on Council:

Clear communication and meaningful public consultation.

Let’s protect what makes Sooke special.

A welcoming heart for a connected community.
