Statement

I would like to thank the community for your past support. It is my desire to represent you, the stakeholders of Lynden, for another term. These are exciting times in our city as we move forward with good planning. We have the Million Smiles playground, wonderful parks, trails and the newly expanded multi sports activity center at Bender fields.

I applaud our Police and Fire departments that keep us safe. Having said all this I encourage you to
