A Better Deal means opportunity.
The opportunity for young people to stay in the community where they grew up.
The opportunity for newcomers to build a future here.
The opportunity for families to put down roots without being forced to leave because of housing costs.
But most importantly..
The opportunity for YOU to be heard, your concerns about the unhoused, the vehicle residences, the increase in property tax YoY, or even the concern of paid parking.
What Is A Better Deal?
Why "A Better Deal"?
My last name may be Deal, but this campaign isn't totally about me.
It's about the kind of deal we're creating for the people who call Squamish home.
A better deal for workers.
A better deal for young families.
A better deal for taxpayers.
A better deal for the next generation.
Because the future of Squamish shouldn't only belong to those who bought homes twenty years ago.
It should belong to the people who are building their lives here today.
That's the future I'm fighting for.
A Better Deal for Squamish.
