The places we build shape the community we become.

Korleen has spent more than a decade in public service, first on the Maple Ridge–Pitt Meadows School Board and now on Maple Ridge City Council.

She was first elected in 2014 and served as School Board Chair from 2018 to 2022, working across education, inclusion, and community planning.

Before that, she ran a dance studio in Port Moody, building programs for hundreds of children and managing day-to-day operations for families who relied on it.

That experience shaped a simple focus.

Make sure the systems people rely on actually work.

"We can't sit back and maintain the status quo. We are taking bold action to make sure Maple Ridge is the best community possible." 

On Council, that means keeping pace with a growing city:

• Parks and recreation spaces that stay accessible

• Infrastructure that supports growth

• Services that people can depend on as demand increases

It also means improving how City Hall works behind the scenes so decisions don’t just get made — they get delivered.

Because growth only works if the city keeps up with it.

A Better Maple Ridge is a team of neighbours from across this community who believe local government works best when it stays focused on local solutions.

We're building something here, and there's a place in it for you!
