Hi! I'm Hanzhi. Burnaby is a great city but we have ample room for improvement. We have a responsibility to do more to make our city a place where *everyone* can thrive.

I don't have any experience in government, but as an engineer I understand how to get things done. I'm also an active member of the community, including organising free weekly 5k runs at Central Park.

Housing - I'll streamline and reduce costs for new developments, allow more missing-middle density and mixed-use neighbourhoods, and shift property tax costs away from entry-level and low-income units
