On Saturday, October 15, 2022, eligible voters in Courtenay cast ballots to elect:

1 Mayor
6 Councillors
2 School District Trustees for Courtenay (School District No. 71)

I’m proud to have signed the BC Non-Profit Housing Association pledge to Make Housing Central. I first ran for Council in 2014 to keep the City from closing Maple Pool Campground and evicting 65 people that would have ended up on the street. I’ve worked tirelessly the past 8 years getting funding for the Comox Valley Coalition to End Homelessness and as Mayor called the Employee Housing Symposium that was hosted at CFB Comox.

Today (October 13) from 1:00 to 5:00 PM, Lush Valley Food Action Society will be co-hosting a Traditional Food Reconciliation Event with the K’ómoks First Nation. In the spirit of reconciliation, this event will include traditional activities such as drumming, storytelling, weaving and a pit cook. Butterfly fish, bannock and other traditional foods will be served. Everyone is welcome.

Was great to be out sign waving today for the advanced polls. Megan even had a Melanie McCollum sign ❤️😎❤️
