I’m a lucky returnee to Powell River. I have sought to bring my interests: social, cultural, science, history, finance and economics and spiritual into application to serve my community. I’ve been a paramedic, an Ambulance Service chief, an outdoor rec instructor, hiker, kayaker, and life-long cyclist. I was in small business and a hockey dad, along with various community organizations and boards all my life. I’ve been a councillor for 8 years. We’re in times of trouble, and that will only increase. We must work together. That is my commitment. https://www.prpeak.com/local-news/city-of-powell-river-council-candidate-rob-southcott-5885367…

I will listen and participate in all discussions at council, including from the people most affected. I will cast my vote on the recommendation which is in the best interest of the residents of Powell River.

I believe in social good, in improving the greatest number of lives possible, not serving a single individual’s self-interests. This is exactly what I stand for; I am serving the people, not myself. Even though I have only lived here for a few years, I immediately fell in love with this city. It’s easy to come to Powell River for the beautiful wilderness that we have, but the reason why I am making this my ‘forever home’ is because of the community values that I experienced as soon as I got here, values that were clearly passed down through many generations. The people of Powell River look out for one another – this is something that is fundamentally lost in larger cities. The things that I love to see in Powell River are ideas that draw us closer together instead of pulling us farther apart. Community values were instilled in me throughout my upbringing and those values are what drive me to give back to my community now. If I am granted the opportunity to be city councillor, I know that I can make a difference and bring forth the ideas of my community. I would love to see a solution that works to solve the mental health and addictions crisis in our city. I am looking for solutions to Lower tax rates, and advocate for an MRI machine to cut down on travel expenses and time for those who need one. I would love to see more affordable options for housing as home ownership has become more and more unattainable for current and future generations. I am not running for myself, but to represent the ideas and values of the people of Powell River. If I am elected, I can promise that I will work faithfully to help improve this wonderful place that we are all so lucky to call home. To connect with my directly, reach out at 604-999-9800…

Creating a healthy community means putting people first. It’s finding solutions to help people meet their needs but also to thrive. I’ve worked as a provincial government analyst for 20 years, in poverty reduction as well as treaty negotiations with First Nations. I conduct research, consult with people, listen carefully and build productive partnerships – all of which will serve me well as a city councillor. A job in the forestry industry brought me to Powell River in 2016, and I plan to stay. As a homeowner, landlord, and someone who works with people experiencing poverty, I understand many perspectives of the housing crisis. I’ve volunteered in disaster relief, food security and housing, and I am the former vice president of the Comox Valley Beekeepers. In my free time, I’m often walking my dog. https://www.jenzacherforcitycouncil.ca/…

My name is Todd Phillips. I was born in Powell River in 1965. I have lived here my entire life except for when I have left for post-secondary education. I am currently involved in a stable 23 year common law relationship. I have spent most of this time working in the logging industry as a faller and first aid attendant. I've owned my own successful small business in the salvage logging industry for 20 years. I've spent 33 years reclaiming 20 acres and restoring the buildings on land in Cranberry. Recently I decided to sell the business and property to downsize and slow things down as I retired from the industry. I no longer spend the majority of my time in camps and currently work and live in central Westview. I have been involved in local soccer since elementary school, then moving on to Senior Men’s followed by Powell River Villa, topping it all off with games played for Canada’s national para team. I am a member of the local search and rescue. I also volunteer for Special Olympics. I do not sit on the boards of these non-profits and am unpaid for my time. I am running in this election because I think we need a change in how things have going over the last number of years. For those that know me I am a worker. I will do the research and put in the hours to get the right decision. I do not belong to; donate to, or have I ever been a paid employee of a political party. I am not taking campaign donations. I am independent. Please check out my Policy Platform to view my stance on the city’s major issues. http://www.votetoddphillips.ca/…
