Here are my 3 solutions

Brainstorming solutions to high property taxes

Lower taxes. Smarter spending. Stronger Thorold. A plan that controls costs today while widening the tax base for tomorrow.

01

Reduce Wasteful Spending

  • Conduct regular, published spending reviews.
  • Eliminate duplicate programs and unnecessary administrative costs.
02

Grow the Tax Base

  • Attract new businesses and responsible development.
  • More commercial tax revenue helps reduce the burden on homeowners.
03

Invest in Smarter Infrastructure

  • Use provincial and federal grants wherever they are available.
  • Prioritize preventative maintenance to avoid costly emergency repairs.

Invest in today, inspire tomorrow

After-school programs & STEM

Every child has potential. After-school programs and STEM education unlock curiosity, build confidence and prepare our youth for the future.

While education is a provincial responsibility, the City of Thorold can support community partnerships, recreation, after-school programs and youth initiatives that create opportunities for our kids to learn, grow and thrive.

Transparency & Accountability

Open, honest and answerable to you — with council decisions shared before they are made, not after.

“As an educator, I understand the importance of learning, opportunity and community. I’m here to listen, collaborate and advocate for a stronger, more vibrant Thorold.”
