- Continuing to work closely with the Region of Durham and community partners to ensure supports for people experiencing homelessness and food insecurity
- Continued work to build new revenue streams as a way of reducing pressure on property taxpayers
- Next steps on waterfront revitalization including improvements to the Whitby Marina, opening of the Rowe House culinary hub and new initiatives to support tourism
