About Judy

When you look at this list you can see I have a wealth of experience in diverse areas. I am an educated and informed voice at Saanich Council. I have lived in Saanich since 1987, raised my daughter, and owned and operated two businesses in this area for 20 years.

I know that planning for the future is key ... you do not want any expensive surprises!

On October 15, 2022, Voting Day, I would ask you to re-elect me to Saanich Council and vote for me as one of your CRD Directors to represent Saanich on the CRD Board. Thank you.

Moving CRD forward to eliminate toxins entering our environment was a key issue for me.

Saanich Council

(this term)

Chair, Parks Trails & Recreation, currently

Our trail network needs to have more investment for all users. Some sections maybe just for walkers and a cycling section. Walking is great exercise for all!

This is a picture along one of the trails, I love riding here under the tree canopy. We need to continue to invest in our trails and parks.

Plant a tree … It can help.

Chair, Planning, Transportation and Economic Development (PTED) below are a few initiatives that I spearheaded thru PTED:

  1. Reviewed and created motion that Saanich create an Economic Development Strategy, which is now been created with our new Economic Development Officer;

  2. Our work with staff on introducing regulations on EV chargers has lead to greater numbers being installed;

  3. Working with staff we developed a program to help get oil tanks removed as household heat source for low to mid-income homes to heat pumps with grants, to protect environment and reduce GHG.
