Priorities

Ray's Priorities

Residents have told Ray what matters most. Ray is committed to practical solutions that strengthen our community while respecting taxpayers and preserving what makes our neighbourhoods a great place to live.

Public Safety

Families are frustrated. Constant break-ins to cars, garages, and sheds have them waking up to damage before a day's work, and thefts at local shops and safety on transit remain real concerns across the ward. Ray has heard it, and he's committed to safer streets through smart, lasting solutions.

Public Transit

The 2025 redesign left the south end behind, and Ray will fight to fix it. Riders here face more transfers, longer trips, and unreliable evening service. Transit should connect people to work, school, healthcare, and local businesses safely and efficiently, and right now, it falls short.

Green Space & Community Clubs

Our parks and clubs are where community happens and they deserve investment. Local community clubs and centres are aging, and groups struggle to find clean, safe, affordable space to meet and play. Residents want existing green space protected from development, not paved over.

Development That Fits

Growth is welcome and encouraged but it shouldn't erase the character and feel of the neighbourhoods’ residents already love. People want a real say in what's built in their own backyards.

Infrastructure Management

Reliable roads and smarter project planning across the ward. Our main arteries, side streets, and back lanes all need attention and when too many projects hit one area at once, whole neighbourhoods get shut down for far too long.

These concerns require practical solutions, responsible planning and a councillor that listens to the people they serve. Learn more about my proposed priorities and actions that will help build a safer, stronger and better connected neighbourhood.

My Focuses

Ray's Focus

Public Safety

  • Increase neighbourhood police patrols and re-engage our local police stations so residents see a visible, responsive presence.
  • Work with police, city services, and community groups to ensure families feel safe in their own homes and on transit.
  • Hold the Winnipeg Collaborative Street Safety Centre accountable for delivering real, measurable results.
  • Address the root causes of repeat property crime and connect people to the right support services to fight crime strategically over the long term, not just react to it.

Public Transit

  • Stand up for our ward in every service revision: reliable evening buses, On-Request coverage that works, and real capacity on the Pembina corridor.
  • Push the City to treat this network as a work in progress, not a finished product, until it serves riders in St. Norbert–Seine River properly.
  • Bring a rider's-eye view to Council, fighting for fewer transfers, shorter trips, and service our seniors, students, and commuters can count on.

Green Space & Community Clubs

  • Guarantee minimum green space in every new development to properly manage growth.
  • Prioritize and reinvest in the community clubs, playgrounds, and parks we already have.
  • Make sure local groups have clean, safe, affordable spaces to meet, play, and gather.

Development That Fits

  • Build genuine community consultation into projects from day one, not after the decisions are already made.
  • Set clear rules so new development enhances the look and feel of existing neighbourhoods.

Infrastructure Management

  • Push for extended crews, including 24-hour operations on major arteries, to get repairs done faster and reduce disruption.
  • Make Public Works coordinate projects better so entire neighbourhoods aren't torn up all at once for long stretches.
  • Bring accountability to how road repair is planned and delivered, so residents aren't left guessing timelines and have a real say in what gets built in their neighbourhoods.
