After becoming president of the Shuswap Estates Community Association and Ted Bacigalupo had sadly passed away, many people encouraged me to run in the by-election.
I spent time researching the position with electoral area directors and CSRD staff and learned that it is an opportunity to achieve change and improvements to quality of life for many.
I think public service in local government is an important, unique and satisfying way to contribute to one’s community and to really make a difference.
