Meet Tyler
Hi! I’m Tyler, and I am running to be your City Councillor in St. James.
Why Tyler is running
I want to protect the everyday moments that make St. James so special – the "St. James Pause" where we stop our conversation while a plane flies overhead, the splash of a fish in Sturgeon Creek while you read a book from the Westwood library, and the sound of birds in Bruce Park while sharing a treat from Sargent Sundae. I want my niece to grow up on safe streets where she can ride her bike down to the playground.
For me, leadership is about rolling up your sleeves. Whether I am working alongside my wife, Marlana, and our friend Jan to run St. James Community Coffee, bringing neighbours together to reignite the Sturgeon Creek Association, or planting so many trees across Winnipeg that I’ve lost count, or volunteering at community events, I believe in showing up for our neighbourhood every single day.
How Tyler leads
I believe in respect, collaboration, listening,
practicality, community care and sustainability.
When solving tough problems, it should be us together against the issue, not us against each other. True progress requires a councillor who can negotiate, collaborate, and build strong partnerships both inside City Hall and across our neighborhood. I look for common ground, treat differing perspectives with respect, and focus on community outcomes ahead of political “point-scoring” on social media.
Listening isn't just a courtesy—it’s a critical tool for solving high-stakes problems. My approach is to gather data, ask the right questions, and understand the real experiences of the people who live here before making decisions that affect them.
It is tempting to look at city planning from the top down, which leads to expensive studies with little real-world action. I believe in starting with humility: stepping out onto our streets, listening to residents, and identifying the most immediate, practical step we can take to make life better now and create momentum for the future.
Big change starts with local action. It’s picking up litter on our trails, supporting a small business down the street, or giving an afternoon to a community centre. I believe strong communities grow with everyday care and showing up for one another. I want my office to be where residents can go to take action together.
