Candidate Q+A

The Sounder has published a set of Q+As sent to the six candidates running for election as trustees of the Gabriola Fire Protection Improvement District (GFPID). Three positions are open.

The six questions asked:

  1. What makes you an ideal candidate to be a Fire Board Trustee?
  2. What changes – if any – would you want to make to the current 10-year long-range plan?
  3. Are there any recommendations from the Brownlee and Governance reviews you think should be implemented by the Fire Board?
  4. What can local governments like Improvement Districts do to work towards the goals and recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Report?
  5. Should Fire Trustee elections have advance-voting options available?
  6. Any other statement you want to make with respect to this election and the GFPID?

If you read this on the day of publication—don't forget the All Candidates Meeting, hosted by Gabriola Talks on Wednesday, June 4th, at 7pm at the Agi Hall.
