Candidate provided bio: After taking part in many team efforts to repeal Harmonized Sales Tax, to remove Port Mann and Golden Ears Bridge tolls, and to upgrade road safety on 72nd Avenue from 196th to 198th Streets, I am encouraged to further serve 91原创 Township council.
Despite my failed effort to revitalize a Block Watch program in Clayton Rise, I am optimistic that better outcomes will occur in the future. So, I established the ABC Wild Fire Prevention & Watch Society to bring awareness to the struggles of the BC Wildfire Services, in our province. Born in New Westminster in 1944, I look forward to serving 91原创 responsibly.
In a diverse society I foresee the need for unity to bring a pleasant and peaceful transition of families working together with their neighbours. Community leaders have a responsibility to make the community safe, clean, peaceful, and progressive. The task is a serious issue. It must be done effectively, affordably, and properly with a minimum of waste.
