“I’m committed to truly listening to the residents of District 1 and continuing to advocate for our beautiful communities.”
For nearly 30 years, together with my husband, Percy, and our dog, Charlie, I have been a proud resident of District 1 and call Fall River home. I am committed to working tirelessly and responsibly to improve infrastructure, recreation opportunities, transportation, safety, and the quality of life in all our communities.
My Vision for the Next Four Years – and Beyond
In the four years ahead, I am committed to continuing my work advocating for the residents of District 1 and the needs of our beautiful communities. I will work to address the infrastructure, environmental, and safety issues that are arising due to our District’s and municipality’s rapid growth. Some of the areas that I will continue to work on include:
• Increasing recreational opportunities and access to public lakes in our District
• Installing upgraded traffic lights where needed such as the Fall River Road and Highway 2 intersection
• Advocating for a RCMP local detachment in Fall River
• Expanding transit service throughout the District
• Extending the Water Service Boundary
• Creating and implementing Emergency Management Programs for communities including Secondary Egress Plans
• Revising HRM’s Policing Model based on analysis of all the Policing Reports before Council
• Transferring of roads from the Province to HRM, especially in community centres

When we met Cathy on the campaign trail 4 years ago, we emphasized to her the need for better communication between the councillor and residents. Since becoming District 1 councillor, Cathy has consistently delivered on her commitment to better communication and resident representation.

We fully support her re-election as District 1 councillor in October. - Kevin & Leanne Hayes, Windsor Junction
Cathy is a world wind of energy. Her commitment to Musquodoboit Valley is only part of her duties. Her advice has been extremely influential to many groups regarding the correct procedures to access services from HRM.

Cathy is a dedicated, motivational and inspirational individual who must be re-elected to the position of councillor for another term. - Yours truly, Joe and Sheila Fisher Middle Musquodoboit
So how do we do that together … in Community?
District 1 is one of the largest and most diverse districts in HRM. We're home to sparkling lakes and rich farmland; rural areas and suburban neighbourhoods; schools, parks, businesses, industries, and an international airport. Our residents include young families to seniors; newcomers to folks whose families have lived in the district for generations. Our needs may vary but we are brought together by our shared sense of community and hopes for a vibrant, safe, and healthy District. Cathy is committed to listening to the issues and needs of ALL of our communities and being a strong voice for District 1 on Regional Council.
