The Issues That Matter
Recharge and Recharge
Let’s be creative to meet new goals. Over the next term of Council the portion of persons purchasing electric or hybrid vehicles will approach 40%. Margaret looks to get more recharging stations near public parks, recreation sites, and local retail & restaurant businesses.
Help Belleville Transition to Positive Diversity
Belleville’s 2021 census shows 13% non white population and this will continue to rise toward the Provincial average in coming years. Our community needs to develop a successful transition by encouraging cultural celebrations and focusing on shared values of family and economic growth. Margaret not only represents diversity but has been a Provincial leader in building community harmony. Belleville will benefit from her experience.
Improved Safety
There is hope ahead for the downtown with several modified commercial and new residential plans. But solving homelessness is a challenge. Margaret supports stakeholders – including businesses, mental health and police – developing an effective plan to improve security in the downtown.
Assist Business in the Emerging New Economy
There are several Quinte-focused economic planning and training initiatives that need to be re-energized after the pandemic. But this is a large and complex issue and Margaret sees much benefit in having local employers and staff develop better flexibility and innovation. Things like job sharing, family leave, mental health support, etc… can give us an edge in global competition.
Preserving Our Environment… Especially Water … in Response to Climate Change
The Moira River and Bay of Quinte are key to our local enjoyment and to our tourism industry. We need to strengthen our partnerships with other municipalities in Quinte Conservation and best manage this precious resource. Margaret commits to preserving the environment.
