Natashia was born and raised in Saskatchewan and gathered life experience across four Canadian provinces before arriving in Toronto in 2015, and finally bringing her home to Welland in 2021. She is tenacious, resilient, and compassionate, focused on supporting all members of her community, and celebrating diversity on every front. While facing challenges and overcoming various obstacles, she remains steadfast against the odds. She creates innovative solutions with successful outcomes. While others back down; she leans in. Her focus on empowering the people and creating a system that is able to support itself. This is what Welland needs right now.

Natashia's background in horticulture/agriculture, senior care and independent support of vulnerable members of her community have paved the way to her candidacy for Mayor of Welland.
