Pam Madoff on policy:

RESPECTING THE PAST AND PLANNING THE FUTURE

“Victoria is a world-class city that deserves first-class decision-makers who will respect the past and shape the future.  Decision makers who can engage the public and deliver results. (Pam)
 
“Victoria is not a city that needs to be reinvented.  We need to build on our strengths and ensure that new development enhances our city and contributes to our sense of place. “(Pam)


“For the past six terms on Council I have worked hard to make thoughtful and informed decisions.  Decisions that are informed by both citizen engagement and my own extensive experience.”(Pam)

“I know that I work hard on behalf of all of our residents.  It was very gratifying to be new the top the polls in the last election.”(Pam)

“In 20 or 30 years, when all our cities look the same, we’re going to lament the loss of our ‘placeness’….cities must manifest the preferred experiences of their citizens.” (Larry Beasley, renowned urban planner)
