Ward 4 is built on strong communities. Frank’s priorities focus on preserving heritage and ensuring affordability.

Ward 4 comprises strong and unique communities, including Schomberg, Lloydtown, and Pottageville. As our township continues to evolve, I believe we need to protect the character, heritage, environment, and sense of community that make these areas special, while planning responsibly for the future.

Thoughtful Planning & Community Character

Residents want to preserve the character, heritage, and rural identity that make our communities unique. Ward 4 cannot continue to absorb planning decisions without infrastructure and traffic impacts being properly addressed first.

  • Respects the scale and character of our communities
  • Protects green space and heritage
  • Aligns with infrastructure and long-term sustainability
  • Reflects the voices and concerns of residents

Agriculture & Environmental Stewardship

Agriculture is a major part of King Township’s identity. We are steadily losing farmland, and protecting agriculture must remain a priority for future generations.

  • Supporting long-term agricultural sustainability
  • Protecting farmland and rural landscapes
  • Protecting the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan
  • Encouraging responsible access to trails and nature
  • Supporting conversations around agricultural innovation

Infrastructure, Transportation & Accessibility

Traffic congestion in areas like Main Street, Schomberg, has become increasingly challenging and must be addressed before additional strain is placed on infrastructure.

  • Addressing ongoing traffic and infrastructure concerns
  • Ensuring infrastructure keeps pace with planning
  • Exploring practical transit and connectivity solutions
  • Supporting modern infrastructure like EV charging

Connecting Generations & Community Engagement

Strong communities are built when generations stay connected and involved in shaping the future together through stronger partnerships.

  • Preserve and share local history and heritage
  • Encourage community involvement and volunteerism
  • Create welcoming opportunities for younger residents to share ideas

Supporting Local Business & Community Vitality

Small businesses are an important part of our local identity. We need to do a better job supporting vibrant and locally focused business communities.

  • Strengthening and revitalizing local business
  • Encouraging community events and partnerships
  • Keeping our main street areas active and welcoming

Housing & Community Affordability

Affordability is becoming a growing concern. Future housing discussions must reflect the realities facing people in our communities today.

  • Housing options that fit community character and scale
  • Thoughtful conversations around affordability
  • Well-designed housing aligned with services
  • Planning for aging population needs

I believe leadership starts with listening, learning, and working together. My focus is on protecting the heritage, character, and agricultural roots of our communities while planning responsibly for the future, ensuring Ward 4 remains a strong, connected, and vibrant place for generations to come.
