Diesel has hit over $2.00/l here in the #CowichanValley & the foresight of council to reduce the municipalities emissions is paying off big time right now. #Geopolitics has massive effects on #fossilfuel pricing & electrification of our #NorthCowichan assets helps reduce that volatility. #localgovt
I have stated this countless times at the council table. I've changed my decision when I realized I was wrong when learning more & getting better information from staff. I think the # 1 rule after getting elected is not getting polarized or entrenched in what you think is "right". #bcpoli #localgovt
A great investment in #Chemainus and our @northcowichan.bsky.social recently adopted a property tax forgiveness program for capital investment and the associated increase to assessment as a way to support our local economy. #northcowichan #bcpoli #localgovt #forestry

It is nice to have a council meeting again where the hot topic falls right in as a classic local government discussion, backyard chickens. #localgovt @northcowichan.bsky.social
Start making noise about this & support Vancouver City councillors @seanorr.bsky.social and Pete Fry with their motion to ban ICE from having any presence whatsoever in Canada (2nd part of motion speaks to sending motion if approved to Toronto for support/action there). #canpoli #bcpoli #localgovt
Every single major policy, bylaw or long term thinking plan we have tried to work through this term on council.
Time and time again 😣 #localgovt
Also a really good reminder to my fellow elected officials to keep handy on your council chamber desk in clear sight as you deliberate on council matters. #bcpoli #localgovt #canpoli

Ok...I've never seen a better analogy to this date that explains my position on not cutting or any support for lower taxes and underfunding of our municipality as the crisis of failing infrastructure is mounting in size & scope every year. #bcpoli #localgovt
By reducing friction at the point of payment, making data more accessible & creating a simpler parking experience, the NPP allows councils to tackle deliberate evasion & accidental non-compliance – the main challenge identified by 70% of respondents in the recent poll. 🙌

Did you see that View Royal is asking municipalities across BC to join them in a judicial review of Bill 44 and related legislation. Our council voted to support it last night, I was the sole vote in opposition. We need radical changes to end the zoning/housing bureaucracy roadblocks in #localgovt
@northcowichan.bsky.social council's support of Mayor Douglas writing the following letter to Premier @davidebybc.bsky.social and Forest Minister @rparmarbc.bsky.social regarding the closure of the Crofton pulp mill which impacts 500 workers here in NorthCowichan & $5mill in taxes #bcpoli #localgovt
Great work by @mycvrd.bsky.social on the website refresh. Also huge improvement as they are now using eScribe for the board meeting calendar and agenda packages, easier to navigate and download/read for the public. #bcpoli #localgovt

Thank you very much @rparmarbc.bsky.social for making it a priority to meet with us in person last at @northcowichan.bsky.social council. #northcowichan #localgovt

Domtar just issued notice that they are permanently closing the Crofton Mill. This will be a serious impact to the community with 350 jobs affected and also North Cowichan's largest property tax payer of $5 million per year. #bcpoli #canpoli #forestry #resourceindustry #localgovt

Sidelined by UT admin led by LG, their role is ambiguous. This led to jurisdictional clashes, political disempowerment & feeling of outsider dominance. #LocalGovt Growing disconnect with Centre made many feel safer under old J&K setup.
Currently sitting in this session working through the resolutions. A clear consistency in the resolutions from #localgovt to the province are rooted in social & environmental of nature this morning. Timely that @emilylowan.bsky.social of @bcgreens.bsky.social addressed @ubcm.bsky.social #bcpoli
Changing up my regular routine this week for the @ubcm.bsky.social conference in Victoria with my fellow @northcowichan.bsky.social council & elected officials from across BC. #localgovt #bcpoli
This is how simple and easy it is for #localgovt to make a difference 💚🏡
