Ward 1 · Barrie, Ontario

Platform for Ward 1

Real priorities for the people of Ward 1. Here's what Shaughna is committed to working for at City Hall.

01

Safe and Welcoming Neighbourhoods

  • Traffic calming measures on high-speed residential streets
  • Support initiatives that improve community safety and help residents feel comfortable in their neighbourhoods
  • Advocate for compassionate, practical solutions that support those experiencing homelessness while keeping our public spaces safe, accessible and welcoming for everyone.
  • My goal is to become a member of Barrie's Homelessness Task Force.
  • Work for clean, well-maintained parks, trails and public spaces that bring people together.
  • I am a strong supporter of all emergency services and everything they do to help our residents and keep our community safe.
02

Responsible Growth

  • Transparent community consultation on major projects
  • It is my desire to be involved with Barrie's Growth Management Program and Boundary Adjustment Team.
  • Require infrastructure investment that protects a neighbourhoods character and green space
  • Listen to residents and encourage meaningful public consultation before important decisions are made.
03

Protecting Your Tax Dollars

  • Taxpayers always deserve thoughtful, responsible decisions at City Hall.
  • Good government isn't about spending more, it's about spending smarter.
  • Residents deserve a council that spends wisely, plans carefully and puts community needs first.
04

Accountable Leadership

Residents deserve a councillor who listens, communicates clearly, and shows up.

  • Timely answers to your questions and concerns
  • Clear, accessible communication with residents
  • Full transparency on votes and decisions
05

Keeping Ward 1 Beautiful and Ensuring the Revitalization of Local Roads

  • Road revitalization is still needed on local roads.
  • The care and maintenance of The North Shore Trail, Johnson's Beach and neighbourhood parks.
  • Ward 1 deserves neighbourhoods that are safe, well-maintained, and welcoming. I will work to ensure our roads, parks and public spaces receive the attention and investment they need.
