Supporting Local & Small Businesses
Streamlining Municipal Permitting
Eliminate bureaucratic delays by establishing a simplified "one-stop-window" for local business licensing, exterior signage approvals, and seasonal patio applications.
Construction Mitigation & Business Protections
Implement municipal support protocols for local shops impacted by major transit or road infrastructure projects, including temporary property tax adjustments and modified parking rules to preserve customer foot traffic.
Exploring a Small Business Tax Subclass
Advocate at City Council to utilize Ontario's optional small business property tax subclass framework—lowering the municipal tax burden on small, independent storefronts relative to large corporate landlords.
Expanding Entrepreneurial Grants & Promotion
Partner with IDEA Mississauga and local business associations to increase access to business development grants, digital transformation resources, and micro-loan programs for new and growing Ward 3 businesses.
