Sharon Cross seeks re-election in 2014.

submitted

Sharon has served on Council since 2011.  Previously, she worked in economic research, broadcasting and educational administration.  Currently, she manages Joseph Cross’s Art Studio.

Sharon has helped create a community we want to live in through a strong leadership record in the many committees she volunteers on. She Chairs the City’s Environment & Utilities Committee, and Family & Community Services Committee.  Listening to where there is a need, she takes action representing the broader community and taxpayers interests.

A proven record: 

  • walking the talk
  • bringing people together
  • seeing a project through to completion
  • doctor shortage Task Force
  • child care needs assessment
  • 100% attendance at Council

The economic, environmental, social, arts & cultural pillars need to be balanced.  For example, the floods and drought in North America, in areas that we call our ‘food basket’, mean we must prepare now for a more local, secure, safe, and sustainable agricultural sector.  The employment potential would boost our local economy.

Ensuring these needs are balanced with prudent use of tax dollars, and responsible, planned development, are a priority for Sharon.  A healthy, vibrant community comes through communication, collaboration and creative thinking. 

Note:  At this time we invite other candidates for the upcoming Municipal Election to submit their bios for the public's consideration.
