Part of the job of being a councillor is building relationships with different people and organizations, and that includes these incredible women. Every person in this picture has a history of giving back to the community in very many different ways. These women are now wanting to serve by running for a position on city council or the school board. With the incredible pressures of social media, many women are stepping back from public office, but these women are stepping up.
Please note this does not represent all of the women who have out their names forward. It is a point in time picture.
Everyone who decides to run for office needs support and encouragement! Thank you to all of the candidates for stepping up!

Nina Kossenko and I had such a fun afternoon volunteering at the Salmon Festival. We served so many delicious salmon dinners that we ran out and had to close early. What a perfect weekend for the Salmon Festival! A huge thank you to the organizing committee and all of the volunteers for such a great event for the community!

Today is International Overdose Awareness Day.
Must of us have either a friend or a loved one suffering from addiction and many of us have lost someone we know to this crisis.
This is such an important issue in our community. Behind every life lost is a person, a family or a friend whose lives are forever impacted.
Thank you to the Community Action Team for organizing this event and the many different organizations who participated.
Thank you to everyone who showed up today and for supporting one another 💜

What a great day at Harbour Quay! The outdoor patio looks amazing! The renovations at the Donut Shop and All Mex’d Up are awesome! The new stage is unbelievably beautiful! And I love all the little projects that were done; the pop up shops, the ticket office for the train, painting the fire hydrants and the new signage. Thank you to HGTV and everyone involved in the Hometown Makeover! Harbour Quay is truly a beautiful “third place” for our community ❤️

In 2018 shortly after the municipal election, Mayor Minions and I went to Harbour Quay, got a coffee and walked around and talked about all of the positive changes that we would like to see happen in this area. Here we are eight years later and those early dreams have come true! Thank you to HGTV and everyone involved in this makeover. It truly is going to make such a positive difference in our community.
Come to the reveal party happening today from 2:00 - 5:00! I am beyond excited!!!

When I decided to run for position of City Councillor eight years ago, I chose the slogan “Moving Forward Together” because I believed progress happens when we work collaboratively and stay focused on shared priorities. This message is just as relevant today as we look ahead to the next chapter for Port Alberni.
As a community, we must continue to move forward with economic diversification, developing our waterfront, responsible growth and creating a more livable community. We must create a community that people will want to live, work, and invest.
During my time on Council, I have worked hard the last 8 years trying to improve the quality of life for our residents, and Port Alberni has seen meaningful progress. There have been many improvements in the last 8 years but there is still so much more to do. This is why I am officially declaring my intent to run for the position of City Councillor in the upcoming election. I am committed to continuing this work with integrity, collaboration, and a clear focus on the future. Together, we must “Keep Moving Forward!”

Walking around Port Alberni, people seem happier, they are smiling and are light-hearted and are in an excited mood! We are taking pride in our community again. Is it the presence of HGTV? Is it the beautiful summer weather? Is it because we are in holiday mode? I don't know what the cause is, but I love it! Let's keep this happiness going! Yay Port Alberni!!!

It is one year ago today that the Mt. Underwood fire started. I still feel anxious and emotional when I think about what could have happened. Knowing that many of our residents were on evacuation notice and were preparing to leave at a moments notice, knowing that many others were fire proofing their home, and the Emergency Operations Centre were working through many different scenarios and preparing for the worst. But I took comfort in knowing that we had very hard working professionals working to fight this fire and doing everything possible to save this community and the communities of Bamfield and Anacla. The terrible fires that the Okanagan are currently experiencing are reminders that we must continue to be diligent and develop wildfire risk mitigation strategies and most importantly, be prepared for any type of emergency.
