Hamilton residents pay more than their fair share of the city's storm water management costs, subsidizing neighbouring businesses. A fair fee would transparently and sustainably improve local resiliency to extreme rainfall events. A Hamilton HERO program (Home Energy Retrofit Opportunity) would help households reduce energy costs at no cost to taxpayers. It would also strengthen the local economy with good green jobs and help meet climate change emission targets. Relative to inflation, funding for the Hamilton Street Railway has been declining for more than a quarter century. Rising fares are insufficient to improve service, resulting in slumping ridership while other cities nearby see double digit increases. Federal gas tax transfers should be be used to #FixtheHSR. I helped to write, organize, and coordinate these campaigns in a two person team. I created press releases, articles, print materials, and social media campaigns, co-wrote a motion to city council, named the HERO program, and planned and hosted events. I did local outreach, recruited new members and volunteers, filled petitions, appeared in print and on radio, and met with the mayor and councillors. We took the local lead in the national People's Climate Plan campaign, educated, and contributed to fundraising and event planning. I look forward to seeing these initiatives through to completion.

Sustainability the Musical began as a musical documentary theatre project for the Hamilton Fringe Festival, before evolving to become its own theatrical company. Its flagship production, an eight part educational series with music, won a Hamilton Environmentalist of the Year special award of merit, and has been performed repeatedly since at public festivals and events. Material has been adapted to meet curriculum expectations for school audiences ranging from kindergarten through university.… Show more Sustainability the Musical began as a musical documentary theatre project for the Hamilton Fringe Festival, before evolving to become its own theatrical company. Its flagship production, an eight part educational series with music, won a Hamilton Environmentalist of the Year special award of merit, and has been performed repeatedly since at public festivals and events. Material has been adapted to meet curriculum expectations for school audiences ranging from kindergarten through university. Occupy the Musical followed, and then collaborations on Green Cottage production's plays Green Being Green and the Greening of a Life. My most recent play, 2016's Irredeemable, received critical acclaim for "a level of earnest passion that is truly incredible to watch." In addition to script writing, directing, producing, performing, design, set and prop building, and advertising for several theatre productions, this has involved writing lyrics for more than three dozen songs. The Facebook page for this project has grown to more than 14,000 likes and reached weekly audiences as large as six million, influencing scientific and political arguments to this day. In 2016, Sustainability the Musical also travelled to perform for Dunnville's DREAM program. Show less

I have worked with one provincial and five federal political campaigns. This involved an immensely broad range of duties including planning, media design (print, social media, and video), debate prep with candidates on policy and messaging, public relations, working with volunteers, and building materials for, organizing, and public speaking at events. We coordinated innovative local outreach through large scale giveaways of strawberry plants, made-in-house t-shirts, and more.

We coordinated innovative local outreach through large scale giveaways of strawberry plants, made-in-house t-shirts, and more. On social media, my work on a single campaign alone reached more than 22.5 million views during the period of the 2015 Federal election. Local campaigns I worked on significantly surpassed the national party average in voter support at the polls. Show less
