The Platform
Serving The Community
I've been a coach and school community volunteer for fifteen years here, in Ward 3. Serving you is my priority.
Affordability and Fiscal Responsibility
Finances are tight and people are finding it difficult to make ends meet. Recent property tax hikes are not helping. City council needs to ensure our tax dollars are spent wisely and we save money where we can. Prioritize affordability.
Reliable City Services
Traffic calming, snow clearing, garbage collection, and recreation opportunities are priorities for people all over the city. Citizens expect these services to be effective, timely, and robust. Prioritize reliability.
Issues That Matter
Safe and secure neighborhoods, small business, support for Senior Citizens, the cost of living, affordable housing, and homelessness - the City of St. John's has a role to play in all these important issues that affect everyone.
A Councillor That Will Have Your Back
I won't promise the moon, but I will promise to be dependable and responsive. I'll advocate on your behalf and bring your concerns and issues to City Hall.
About Scott
Having supplemented my degree in Political Science and History from Memorial with a diploma in Information Technology, I've worked in the IT industry for 25 years. I'm currently employed as a Senior Business Analyst with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. Problem solving is what I do.
I've been a coach and school community volunteer for 15 years in Ward 3. As Chair of the St. Mary's School Council, along with the Chairs of the other school councils in the area, we formed the West End High School Committee and successfully lobbied the Provincial government for what is now Waterford Valley High.
I grew up in Cowan Heights and my family and I have lived in Ward 3 for 23 years.
I've also volunteered with organizations like St. John's Soccer, Avalon Celtics Minor Hockey, and the Kidney Foundation of Canada.
As an avid runner and athlete, physical fitness, sport, and recreation are big parts of my daily life. Put my energy to work for you.
