Our Team

A Better Maple Ridge is a diverse team of candidates that believe City Council should work together for the people of Maple Ridge.

Dan Ruimy for Mayor

I believe we must do politics differently. As your MP I learned that getting things done required me to work with representatives from many parties to come up with solutions. The unfortunate reality of the current council is that it has been plagued with infighting and a failure to work together. They've left tens of millions of dollars on the table that should have been used to fund services in Maple Ridge.

I know we can do better.

Our team is committed to working collaboratively with the community, businesses, and other levels of government to improve transit, traffic, community facilities and services, and housing.
