Lars' hometown is Leduc. He's a passionate community builder, leader, and volunteer. He graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in Politician Science in December 2016. Lars was elected for his first term to Leduc City Council as a Councillor in the Fall of 2017. This election, Lars is committed to building a more affordable Leduc, working to create jobs, and reduce crime. 

How will you support the City of Leduc's competitive advantage and market affordable housing? How do you see fees, levies, taxes and municipal cost control playing a role in housing affordability? Note: CHBA-ER refers to “market affordable housing” as housing that is market priced and meets the general requirements of affordability based on household income. Market affordable housing may include market rental housing and market home ownership.

My campaign platform has a strong emphasis on creating a more affordable Leduc. That includes increasing the diversity of housing types in Leduc that also create more affordable housing. In addition, I'm committed to working collaboratively with CHBA and home builders, in general, towards common goals such as: growing Leduc and creating market affordable housing. 

What steps do you believe are necessary to reduce red tape and support business investment in the residential construction industry?

First and foremost: I'm committed to sitting down with all stakeholders, at any moment, to have constructive conversation around supporting business investment / growing & building Leduc. 

Do you support welcoming a diversity of housing types throughout Leduc?

Yes
