Scroll to Top ADVISORY COMMITTEES Advisory committees play an important role in good local government. They bring together residents, business owners, community organizations, and subject matter experts to share their knowledge, experiences, and ideas. Their insight helps Council make more informed decisions that reflect the needs of our community. I believe some of the best solutions come from listening to the people who know our community best. Advisory committees create opportunities for meaningful discussion, collaboration, and thoughtful recommendations that help shape the future of Niagara Falls. I am proud to serve on the following advisory committees during my first term on Council. Working alongside dedicated volunteers and community leaders has been both rewarding and inspiring, and I look forward to continuing this important work. niagaradistrictairport.ca NIA GARA DISTRICT AIRPORT COMMISSION I am incredibly proud of what the Niagara District Airport Commission has accomplished during my first term as Commissioner. Together, we have made significant progress toward strengthening the Airport's future and creating new opportunities for our region. A major milestone was the development and approval of the Niagara District Airport's 2025 to 2045 Master Plan, a bold vision that will support economic growth, tourism, business investment, and regional connectivity. I am also excited to see progress already underway, including Air Canada's new Landline service, which provides travellers with a seamless connection to Toronto Pearson International Airport. The future of the Niagara District Airport is incredibly bright. Stay tuned. There are some exciting announcements on the horizon. NIAGARA FALLS ARMOURY STEERING COMMITTEE The Armoury Steering Committee brings together Council, veterans, museum representatives, and community organizations to help guide the preservation and long-term future of the historic Niagara Falls Armoury. I have been a strong supporter of the Armoury and Niagara Military Museum for many years, long before becoming a City Councillor. As a member of the Committee, I continue working to protect its history, strengthen the museum, and support a sustainable future for the building. Most recently, Council supported extending the museum’s lease and moving forward with a long-term vision and business case for the Armoury. I will continue advocating for the Armoury, working closely with staff and community partners, and pursuing external funding, partnerships, and sponsorship opportunities to help secure its long-term future. niagaramilitarymuseum.com downtown-advisory-committee.com DOWNTOWN ADVISORY COMMITTEE Recognizing the need for a stronger focus on our downtown, I brought forward the motion to establish the Downtown Advisory Committee. The Committee was created to bring together Council, local businesses, community organizations, and other stakeholders to support the growth, revitalization, and long-term success of downtown Niagara Falls. Since its creation, the Committee has helped advance important priorities, including downtown beautification, public safety, business development, and coordinated action on issues affecting the area. By creating a dedicated forum for collaboration and open discussion, the Committee is helping build a stronger, more vibrant, and welcoming downtown for businesses, residents, and visitors. I am proud to have introduced this initiative and remain committed to supporting the continued growth and success of downtown Niagara Falls. PROPERTY STANDARDS COMMITTEE The Property Standards Committee is a quasi-judicial committee established under the Ontario Building Code Act. In addition to hearing appeals of Property Standards Orders issued by the City, Committee members also serve as the City's Dangerous Dog Committee, hearing appeals under the City's Animal Control By-law. In both roles, the Committee provides an independent and impartial review to help ensure decisions are fair, consistent, and in accordance with the law. Taking pride in our neighbourhoods starts with maintaining them. As someone who loves animals and cares deeply about our community, I appreciate the importance of balancing responsible pet ownership, public safety, and fair decision-making. It is a responsibility I take seriously, and I am committed to ensuring every matter is considered carefully, impartially, and in the best interests of our community. Property-Standards-committee.ca historicdrummondville.ca HISTORIC DRUMMONDVILLE BIA (MAIN & FERRY) Business Improvement Areas (BIAs) play an important role in supporting local businesses and strengthening commercial districts. They help promote local shopping, organize community events, support beautification projects, advocate for business owners, and encourage economic growth and investment. BIAs also work closely with municipalities to create vibrant, welcoming destinations for residents and visitors. As Council Liaison to the Historic Drummondville BIA, I work closely with the Board of Management to strengthen communication between the City and the local business community while supporting initiatives that contribute to the continued growth and success of the area. Supporting our local business community remains a priority, and I will continue working with Business Improvement Areas throughout the city to help Niagara Falls continue to thrive. DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Advisory Committee works to foster respectful engagement, fairness, and stronger community connections across our municipality. It provides a forum for discussing community issues, encouraging understanding between different perspectives, and making recommendations to Council on matters within its mandate. During my first term on Council, the Committee successfully hosted three Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Summits, bringing together residents, community organizations, and guest speakers to encourage open dialogue, share ideas, and learn from one another.

ABOUT MONA For more than 27 years, Niagara Falls has been my home. I am honoured to serve the community as a City Councillor and am grateful for the opportunity to represent the city where I've built my life. Originally pursuing a career in the sciences, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, where I developed the analytical thinking, discipline, and problem-solving skills that continue to guide my approach to public service. Together with my family, I own and operates franchise businesses across the Golden Horseshoe. As a small business owner, I understand the importance of hard work, responsible financial management, supporting local businesses, creating jobs, and making thoughtful decisions. My experience has given me a firsthand appreciation for the challenges and opportunities facing business owners, employees, and families. Beyond my professional life, I am a proud member of the Rotary Club of Niagara Falls , and enjoy supporting charitable organizations such as; Easter Seals , Birchway , Project Share , Grow , SPCA , Niagara Health Foundation , and many other community initiatives and charities throughout the city. I value the relationships I’ve built through volunteering and the opportunity it has given me to connect with people from all walks of life. These experiences have shown me that strong communities are built when neighbours come together, support one another, and work toward common goals. I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact that engaged citizens can have on improving the lives of others and strengthening the sense of belonging that makes a community thrive. I am committed to doing my part to help preserve and enhance the qualities that make our city special. My goal is to help ensure that Niagara Falls remains a safe, vibrant, and welcoming place to live, work, and raise a family, not only today but for generations to come. MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE IN MY LIFE Family is at the heart of everything I do. Dave and I have been married for 27 years and have raised our two daughters, Arrah and Arcy, here in Niagara Falls. Like most families, our lives are busy. Between work, council meetings, community events, and university life, there is always something happening. No matter how full our schedules become, we make time for one another. Whether we're sharing a meal, enjoying a movie, taking a walk, riding our bikes, or spending time with friends, those are the moments we value most. My family inspires me every day and motivates me to do my very best for the city we are proud to call home. MEET JAX "the WEIM" Jax is our beloved Weimaraner, a true mama's boy, and a very special part of our family. With his big personality, gentle heart, and endless energy, life is never dull when he's around. When he's not supervising life from the couch, you'll usually find him on front yard and sidewalk patrol, keeping a close eye on the rabbits, squirrels, and every dog that walks by. He takes his neighbourhood watch duties very seriously and makes sure everyone knows who's in charge. Jax loves car rides, long walks, and being wherever I am. If I'm out in the community, there's a good chance he's right beside me. He loves meeting new people, posing for pictures, and, of course, never turns down a treat. If you see us out and about, be sure to say hello. Chances are, Jax will be the first one to greet you. Scroll to Top
