The real story of our success in Port Coquitlam isn’t just that we now have the lowest average property taxes and utility fees of any city in the region, it’s also that we achieved it while improving the services people rely on every day. Take curbside glass pickup. Not long ago, residents had to load up their cars and drive to a depot. It was inconvenient, and the result was predictable: too much glass ended up in blue bins or the garbage. So we fixed it. Today, curbside glass pickup is delivered directly to homes that receive City waste services. It’s done efficiently, reliably, and by our own crews. It’s a better service, it’s easier for residents, and it’s the kind of practical improvement that makes a real difference in people’s lives. It’s just one example of what’s possible happens when you stay relentlessly focused on core municipal services, and you’re willing to constantly assess, improve, and adapt. We believe that good government isn’t about doing less or doing more — it’s about doing what matters, and doing it well.

I’m incredibly disappointed to share that our Terry Fox statue was vandalized. We’ll repair the damage. But what Terry stood for—courage, determination, and hope— that can never be damaged. If you have information regarding this act of vandalism please report it to the RCMP Non-Emergency line at 604-945-1550 and reference file number 2026-800624 🎥 My message to our community:

It can sometimes feel like cities have given up on cleaning up graffiti & vandalism. In Port Coquitlam, we are taking a different approach.

Getting the basics right matters. And in Port Coquitlam, that’s exactly what we’ll keep doing. To report vandalism or graffiti, visit

Joined an excellent Conversations Live with Stuart McNish panel on immigration, its impacts and where we go from here. In order to regain Canadians’ confidence, there needs to be honesty & reflection about just how wrong government got it, and a stop to characterizing any disagreement as bigotry. A serious country must be able to openly and respectfully discuss the serious issues of our time.

Line by line. Decision by decision. Port Coquitlam continues to do the hard work to deliver responsible budgets that invest in core municipal services — while respecting taxpayers. This year, that means a modest 1.95% increase — all in. No smoke & mirrors. No shifting costs onto other fees. Below inflation. And it means that if you pay property taxes & utility fees in City of Port Coquitlam, you’re paying about $2,000 less than the regional average. This is the leadership we’ll continue to deliver for our community.
