From his media release:
For the past 8 years I have been privileged to contribute to the leadership of one of the fastest growing cities in Canada. In keeping with the forward momentum we have achieved thus far, I would welcome the opportunity to continue that trend with responsible, careful and fair consideration with respect to how our community continues to move forward. It is in that spirit that I have decided to put my name forward again for city council.
I believe meaningful dialogue has been the greatest cornerstone of our city’s success. It is and will remain a team effort to strive to find the balance in achieving what we all want: a safe thriving city yet maintaining its own unique charm and character.
As we continue to grow, I look forward to continuing to work on many pressing issues including:
protecting farmland and supporting farmers and food processors
creating more opportunities for pedestrian and cycling connectivity which are accessible to all users
ensuring that a wide range of housing opportunities are explored and implemented, recognizing
that housing needs are changing, and aging in place is vital to our citizens’ health and well-being
ensuring our first responders have the tools they need to be the most effective for our growing city
making sure we all do our part to protect a sensitive environment and prepare for changing weather patterns
creating more outdoor recreational opportunities in every corner of our city
continuing to ensure our voices at city hall are heard loud and clear at senior levels of
government for much needed funding and support for the most vulnerable in our community
continued advocacy for long overdue improved transit options and transportation corridors into the Greater Vancouver area We are so blessed to call this place home. I believe I have demonstrated that I have been a responsible councillor who listens. I believe I am a team player and have the experience needed to continue to move Chilliwack forward in a positive way. This city is amazing, not only because of the natural beauty that surrounds us, but also because of each individual who is privileged to call this place home. There’s always more work to do. I’m excited and ready to get to work for another term. Thope I will have your support on October 15.
