Wendy lives in Lakeside District with her husband Geoff and their three daughters, Holly, Rebecca and Rachel. Lakeside is where they have chosen to raise their family, build relationships and put down community roots. 

Wendy moved to Kingston in 2006 to attend Queen’s University as a graduate student. After earning her Master’s degree (2008), she pursued her love of teaching and learning through obtaining her B.Ed. at the Faculty of Education at Queen’s (2009). From there, she joined the Limestone District School Board as a professional elementary school educator, where she continues to teach part-time. Wendy brings a unique skillset to the role of city councillor, leveraging her integrity, authenticity, and critical thinking skills

As a member of Council, she has accepted additional responsibility, serving as Deputy Mayor, sitting on several City committees, and working as a council representative on several Boards of Directors including Sustainable Kingston, Kingston Frontenac Public Library, Cataraqui Conservation, Tourism Kingston and the Police Service Board. Her deepening understanding of good governance, coupled with her approachability, humility, and respect for herself and others, makes her a thoughtful and effective member of Council.

Wendy is seeking re-election because there is more work to do on safer streets, infrastructure, housing affordability and the future of important community assets such as Centre 70 and Lemoine Point Farm.
