In July 2025, I joined Chris Brown on Cross Border Interviews for a conversation about serving Parksville, listening to residents, and working together across our region. We discussed how I approach difficult decisions, why regional partnerships matter for services and taxpayer costs, and how respectful advocacy can help get results for our community.
