My Priorities
What I will continue to fight for in Cambridge Ward 5.
Fiscal Responsibility
Continue to advocate for responsible spending by finding efficiencies and focusing on essential capital projects to help limit tax increases for residents.
Affordable Housing
Explore innovative approaches that encourage the development of additional affordable housing units throughout the city.
Community Engagement
Continue to connect with residents regularly to hear their concerns, ideas, and suggestions for local improvements, while creating more opportunities for community participation and bringing greater vibrancy to city-owned facilities.
Safer Streets and Walkable Neighbourhoods
Focus on traffic calming in areas with ongoing safety concerns while working to improve sidewalks, multi-use trails, and pedestrian infrastructure to create safer, more connected neighbourhoods.
About Sheri
I have proudly called West Galt home for nearly 20 years and am proud to have served the community as the Ward 5 councillor since 2022. During my first term on council, I have worked to be a balanced, approachable, and collaborative voice for residents by listening to concerns, bringing people together, and finding practical solutions that reflect the needs of Ward 5 and the city as a whole.
Family is at the centre of my life. My partner Devin and I are raising our two sons in Cambridge, and like many local families, we care deeply about building a safe, connected, and welcoming community for future generations.
Before serving on council, I was actively involved in community advocacy and volunteer work. I served as chair of the City’s Accessibility Advisory Committee for over ten years, helping champion accessibility and inclusion for residents of all abilities, and worked with StopGap to improve awareness and accessibility within our community.
I look forward to continuing to work alongside you to help shape Cambridge into a city that is prosperous, inclusive, and welcoming to all.
Accomplishments
Delivering results for Cambridge Ward 5.
Road Safety
Worked collaboratively with the Region of Waterloo to secure illuminated crosswalks on Grand Avenue and St. Andrews Street, while advancing plans for additional traffic control measures at Grandridge and St. Andrews and Blair Rd and George St. as well as other key locations throughout the ward. Also brought forward a motion requesting road safety improvements from the region on Cedar Street to address ongoing community concerns.
Community Improvements
Led the effort to bring an accessible ball diamond project to Cambridge, creating opportunities for hundreds of athletes with disabilities to safely participate in sport and recreation. Partnered with the Waterloo Regional Police Service, Kinbridge Community Association and the Region of Waterloo to secure significant upgrades at the Southwood Housing Complex, including enhanced security lighting and improvements to the community basketball court so our youth have spaces to keep active and connected.
Rental Replacement Bylaw
Brought forward a motion supporting the development of a Rental Replacement Bylaw aimed at protecting valuable rental housing units during redevelopment projects and helping preserve housing affordability in the community.
Community Engagement
Hosted more than a dozen community meet-ups to be more accessible to residents for opportunities to share concerns, ideas, and priorities for the neighbourhood. Ensuring the voice I bring to council reflects the needs of the community. Supported and participated in several community-building initiatives, including neighbourhood clean-up events and a community Trunk-or-Treat event.
Saving Southwood Fitness
Helped negotiate a lease extension to keep the Southwood Fitness Club operating within the community. This ensured that residents in West Galt could continue accessing an affordable membership-based fitness club and an important community hub within their own neighbourhood. The club provides more than just a place to work out. It is a gathering space where residents connect, support one another, and stay active close to home. Keeping the facility open helped preserve a valued local service that contributes to the health, wellbeing, and sense of community in West Galt.
Responsible Financial Management
Advocated for fiscally responsible decision-making by ensuring the Cambridge Public Library pursued the most cost-effective option for a major window replacement project, helping avoid unnecessary costs. Also supported deferring the replacement of the Old Post Office projector system, resulting in savings of more than $400,000.
Gravel Pit Settlement
Advocated for stronger protections for nearby residents during a North Dumfries development process by pushing for the City of Cambridge to formally represent community concerns at the Ontario Land Tribunal. Through this advocacy, significant concessions were secured in the final settlement agreement that would not have been achieved otherwise. These protections included doubling the required setback distance from neighbouring homes, enhanced dust suppression measures, additional noise mitigation requirements, and restrictions on truck traffic to reduce impacts on surrounding streets. This ensured local residents had a stronger voice in the process and that community impacts were taken seriously.
