• Due process and improved consultation with the community

• Maintain a strong economic base

• Strategic planning and long-term vision

• Preservation of environment and green spaces

• Enhancement of sport and recreational facilities

• Responsible use of taxpayers’ money

• Sustainable growth and affordable housing

• Public benefit over private interests

• Promoting Nanaimo and the natural beauty of our surrounding area

• Cooperative teamwork between councillors and city staff

• Developing tourism opportunities that showcase our waterfront and our city’s rich cultural history

• Improved utilization of Newcastle Island as a destination attraction

• Promotion of Nanaimo as a transportation and tourism hub for Vancouver Island
