I have been a resident of Martensville for 30 years. My husband and I have raised our three children here and now my children have also chosen Martensville for their home. This community is home to my grandson, which means we now have three generations in Martensville! That’s proof we feel Martensville is a great place to live.
What previous experience have you had that you feel would benefit you in this position if elected? – As a local business owner of Infinity Salon & Spa for the past 20 years, and charter member of Martensville Chamber of Commerce (now part of) Prairie Sky Chamber of Commerce, it has allowed me to meet many residents and communicate with them what our community’s greatest needs are; personally and professionally; and how to achieve those goals.
What do you feel sets you apart from other candidates? – To be effective, Martensville City Council relies on an effective team to drive success. Being a business owner has taught me to be an effective leader. This means being committed, approachable, and flexable in creatively thinking through problems. I will foster a safe, trustful, and transparent environment with my fellow Councilors.
What are your thoughts on the current policing within the community and how do you feel safety within the community could be improved if necessary? – Policing and the safety of our residence are concerns that I feel need attention. We need local police officers, does that mean RCMP or municipal? We need to investigate all options and determine what is best for our city. While walking this summer in our city I personally notice how many dark streets we have. I feel there is a need for more streetlights in our city; to make our streets safer it also might cut down the vandalism of public and private residential property. Possibly investigate whether video surveillance equipment is an option for public areas.
In your opinion, what is the most pressing issue that needs to be addressed within Martensville? – We have a thriving community that continues to grow, I have witnessed our city grow from 1,800 residence to 13,000+ and still growing. We need to ensure that our infrastructure keeps up with the growth, and I would like to be involved as a city councilor to stay connected and responsive to build a strong team for the City of Martensville
