I’m Anna Kroeplin, and I want to serve as a councillor of Aurora. Through my professional path and volunteer career, I have acquired relevant knowledge, skills and experiences to be effective as a councillor to lead, listen and learn. 

My educational background includes earning two diplomas at college level (in public relations and human resources), and I have been in the workforce full time for 30 years in municipal government.

I have been an avid volunteer in the community for over 18 years, currently serving on four boards. Those  include past president of The Optimist Club, co-chair of a ratepayers association, board member of the Aurora Soccer Club, and an organizing committee member of 100 Women Who Care (Central York Region).  On the weekends, I am the Aurora Farmers Market manager, as I have served as its chair, co-chair and secretary in the past.  As an involved, caring resident of Aurora, I actively and continuously support the positive future of our community.

If elected, I would diligently focus on certain issues such as:

• Endorsing updates of zoning bylaws to conform with the official plan as mandated by the province;

 

• Ensuring that a transportation master plan is completed that sets the future direction of responsible development, being consistent with Aurora’s growth management;

• Upholding the strategic plan’s recommendations by assessing all outstanding items;

 

• Monitoring timely advancements and results of the official plan’s many facets, including the Promenade plan, cultural master plan and growth management plan;

• Recommending strategies to preserve the character of older neighbourhoods;

 

• Supporting a ward system that will improve communications by residents;

• Install and/or reintroduce crime prevention initiatives to secure safe communities.

 

I look forward to being part of the team that manages the future of Aurora.
