The Platform
Building Housing.
Building Affordability.
Building Trust.
This platform isn't built on ideas alone — it's built on a record of action.
Right now, too many people feel like decisions happen around them, not with them. And that has real consequences — for housing, for affordability, and for trust.
When Conny says "our city, our voice," she means you'll see how your input shapes decisions at City Hall. She isn't running to get into City Hall. She's running to open it.
"Experience that delivers. Leadership that includes."
Housing
More homes. Better standards. Built for the people who live here.
The housing crisis is real and it requires real action. Conny supports accelerating attainable housing creation, protecting rental stock, and ensuring new development fits the character of our neighbourhoods — not just developer timelines.
Commitments
- Accelerate attainable housing creation across the city
- Support non-market and community-based housing models
- Thoughtful intensification that fits our neighbourhoods
- Design that honours heritage while building for the future
- Ensure growth reflects community needs, not just developer timelines

Affordability
Better value for every dollar. Services that reduce costs for households.
Too many residents are feeling squeezed — by rising rents, growing city fees, and a cost of living that keeps climbing. Affordability is a transit problem, a services problem, and a priorities problem. Conny will put affordability at the centre of every budget decision.
Commitments
- Protect core services that reduce household costs
- Invest in local solutions: food systems, transit, wellness
- Deliver better value for every tax dollar spent
- Community wellness infrastructure (pool, health hubs)
Already delivered on Council
- Pool and Health Hub motion passed (2022)
- Endorsement of school food programs (2023)
- Accessible parking fees reviewed for fairness (2023)
A City Hall That Reflects Its City
Transparency as the standard. Real pathways for every voice.
At the centre of this entire platform is one essential shift: City Hall must work differently. Not just more engagement — but decisions shaped by the people they actually affect. Kingston deserves a City Hall where everyone's voice helps shape decisions.
Commitments
- Bring people into decisions earlier in the process
- Show clearly how public input shapes decisions
- Make transparency the standard, not the exception
- Open up City Hall processes to scrutiny
- Ensure every resident has a real pathway to be heard
- Change how decisions are made — not just who makes them

- Post-Secondary Working Group to integrate students (2023)
- Heritage enforcement to protect Kingston's character (2023)
- Spoke up against anti-democratic procedural changes limiting resident voice
Community Safety & Belonging
Compassionate, connected, and safe — for every resident.
Real solutions don't choose between community safety and human dignity. Conny believes in structured, humane, and effective responses to homelessness and housing insecurity — while building a city that feels connected for students, families, seniors, and businesses alike.
Commitments
- Compassionate responses to homelessness and housing insecurity
- Connect Kingston's institutions to everyday community life
- Build for students, families, seniors, and businesses
- Sustainability and environmental responsibility embedded in policy
- Communities that feel connected, not fragmented
