Given there are many important issues facing the constituents of Area D, initially I would like to build a communications network throughout our mainly rural electoral boundary in order to establish a consultative framework. It`s important for the people in our insulated communities to be heard, and to know what’s happening in other parts of Area D. Then we may come together as a represented district to discuss important issues such as potential school closures, or the proposed CSRD building permit plans. Acknowledging the diversity within our communities in combination with our shared concerns can build strong cohesive outcomes.
