Growth can bring investment, jobs, housing and new opportunities.

But growth without proper planning can put pressure on roads, transportation, parks, recreation, infrastructure and municipal services.

I support thoughtful growth that considers:

Transportation capacity

Public transit

Housing needs

Parks and green space

Recreation facilities

Infrastructure capacity

Neighbourhood design

Environmental considerations

Municipal service capacity

Long-term affordability

Growth should not simply mean building more. It should mean building a better-planned Chilliwack.
