I believe in accountable, forward-looking and community-centred leadership.
My decision to run is grounded in the belief that the people of our town should always be able to look forward to a better, safer, and more liveable community.
I am dedicated to this community.
I've lived in small towns to large cities across Canada and abroad, and I've chosen to call Gibsons home because of how special this place is. I've been in Gibsons with my wife and two sons for seven years, and feel fortunate every day for its natural beauty, clean air, and warmth and spirit of its people. I'm honoured to be able to stand for election to represent our town.
I strongly believe that communities that are dedicated to the needs of their people are safer, stronger and happier.
These three principles are the framework for what I would bring to Gibsons as a Town Councillor. Vision lays out our path; Resilience keeps us on track when conditions change; and Responsibility ensures we have the resources to keep moving forward.
To build a more dynamic, accessible, and secure community
A vibrant economy, improved affordability and walkability, an outstanding waterfront
Being prepared for changes in the environment and economy
Economic diversification, fire-resistant forests, a floodproof foreshore
Being wise in our investments, and cautious in our spending
Prioritization of affordability through informed, community decision-making
Focused on the resilience of our community:
Neil's campaign is powered by neighbours talking to neighbours. Whether you can spare an hour or a weekend, there's a role for you — door-knocking, sign-waving, phoning, or helping out at events.
Neil and his campaign respectfully acknowledge the unceded and ancestral territories of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation and the traditional keepers of their land. We want to say thank you for allowing us to live, work, and play on your lands.
