Meet Osob

A Neighbour Who Happens to Be Running for Council

I'm a longtime Burlington resident, community leader, entrepreneur, and the mother of four adult children. Years ago I was honoured to be named Burlington's Citizen of the Year, and what earned that recognition is the same thing I'd bring to City Hall: showing up, listening, and bringing people together.

Years of organizing across Ward 6 means I know the streets, the schools, the country roads, and what residents in Alton Village, Millcroft, Headon Forest, and our rural north talk about at the park or over coffee.

I'm running for Ward 6 because Burlington deserves a councillor who treats every resident as a neighbour, not a file number.

Out in Ward 6

Real Conversations, Close to Home

On June 6, neighbours from across Ward 6 came out to meet, share what's on their minds, and connect over coffee. These conversations shape everything I'd bring to City Hall, and there are more on the way.

The Platform

What I'd Bring to City Hall

Five priorities shaped by what Ward 6 residents have told me they care about, in living rooms, at school pickup, and on the trails.

  • Strong neighbourhood connections

    Building on what already makes Alton Village, Millcroft, Headon Forest, and the rural north of Ward 6 feel like home. People know their neighbours, look out for one another, and take pride in where they live. Community safety starts there: strong neighbourhoods, real relationships, and residents who feel engaged in their community. I'll work to protect that sense of connection and belonging as Burlington changes.

  • Protecting parks, trails, and green spaces

    Ward 6's parks and trails are the heart of how families spend their weekends. I'll advocate to protect them, maintain them properly, and keep them accessible for every neighbour.

  • Thoughtful, balanced growth

    Burlington is growing. Growth should serve residents, not the other way around. That means planning that respects neighbourhood character and brings residents into the conversation early.

  • Accessible public spaces

    Community centres, libraries, splash pads, gathering places. The spaces that let neighbours become neighbours. I'll push for spaces that work for every age and ability in Ward 6.

  • Better resident-to-City Hall communication

    Too often residents hear about decisions after they're made. I'll bring residents into conversations earlier and make sure Ward 6 voices reach the council table.

  • Getting around Ward 6

    The concern I hear most often at the door is traffic. Getting to the QEW or the GO station can take two or three times longer than it did a few years ago, and for busy families, commuters, and seniors, that lost time adds up. As Ward 6 changes, our roads and transit connections have to keep pace. I'll push for transportation planning that reflects the daily realities of getting to work, school, and back home.
