Chris Martin:<br />
Springs Ward -<br />
district councillor<br />
I have 27 years experience<br />
with councils<br />
advocating for youth<br />
and communities.<br />
During this time, projects I have<br />
worked on have won international<br />
and national awards for<br />
their community involvement<br />
and innovation. Who knows the<br />
place they live better than the<br />
people who live there? Council<br />
and community should not be<br />
them and us, it is we. <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
has incredible opportunities for<br />
creative community lead solutions<br />
facilitated by a courageous<br />
council. For that we need a team<br />
of councilors that are positive<br />
and passionate. I believe I am<br />
one of those councillors. Join<br />
the conversation on Facebook @<br />

Malcolm Lyall:<br />
Springs Ward -<br />
district councillor<br />
I have a strong vision<br />
for <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s future. I<br />
am passionate about<br />
preserving the best<br />
of the lifestyle that this district<br />
offers, while embracing the<br />
opportunities created by growth<br />
for its people.<br />
I am experienced voice around<br />
the council table.<br />
I have successfully represented<br />
the aspirations and needs of<br />
the people of Springs ward. I<br />
have been instrumental in projects<br />
including the Prebbleton<br />
Community Cottage, the Down<br />
by the Liffey Gallery and the<br />
Lincoln Event Centre.<br />
I am standing again because I<br />
have a genuine passion for this<br />
role and there are projects that I<br />
would like to see completed.<br />
John [Jum]<br />
Morten:<br />
Malvern Ward -<br />
district councillor<br />
After 40 years farming<br />
in the Malvern<br />
ward I am now a<br />
resident of Darfield.<br />
I’ve had the privilege of representing<br />
the Malvern ward for 12<br />
years.<br />
I value working with community<br />
committees and residents on a<br />
range of projects, finding solutions<br />
for their issues or acting as<br />
the connection with council. I<br />
am approachable and accessible.<br />
I am committed to providing<br />
strong and effective local governance<br />
for the long term benefit<br />
of our community and I believe<br />
I have the skill, experience and<br />
enthusiasm to continue representing<br />
the Malvern ward of the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> District Council.<br />
Karen Meares:<br />
Malvern<br />
Community<br />
Board - Tawera<br />
Subdivision<br />
I have lived in the<br />
<strong>Selwyn</strong> high country<br />
all my life. I work in tourism and<br />
have a farming, rural contracting<br />
background. I enjoy meeting and<br />
helping people. I am involved in<br />
various district events, fund raising,<br />
district promotions, developing<br />
recreational opportunities.<br />
Many <strong>Selwyn</strong> residents are rural<br />
and our population spread over a<br />
large area. Thus the need to have<br />
a direct community representative<br />
to link with the council is<br />
an important democratic right.<br />
I would listen to community<br />
concerns, communicate council<br />
updates back to the community<br />
and be involved in decision making<br />
for the good of our area.<br />
Ken May: Malvern<br />
Community<br />
Board - Hawkins<br />
Subdivision<br />
I have lived in<br />
Kirwee for 17 years<br />
and have involved<br />
myself in the Community, when<br />
time has permitted. Now I am<br />
retired I am in a far better position<br />
to involve myself in wider<br />
Community matters. My vision<br />
is to improve the Malvern Ward<br />
in its position as gateway to the<br />
Southern Alps and the West<br />
Coast and make the area a tourist<br />
destination, even if only in<br />
transit. I have also been nominated<br />
for the Canterbury District<br />
Health Board, because of my<br />
experience with the healthcare<br />
industry for the 16 years prior to<br />
my retirement.<br />
Murray Lemon: Ellesmere Ward - district councillor<br />
I have lived and worked in the district my whole life including running<br />
my own electrical business which ultimately employed three staff. I have<br />
had a wide involvement in local sport and community organisations<br />
including Killinchy Hall Committee, Foundation Trustee of the Ellesmere<br />
Heritage Park and 12 years on the BoT’s at Leeston Consolidated School<br />
and Ellesmere College, chairing both for three years respectively. I work<br />
well within a team and have proven my ability to effectively lead others. I wish to take<br />
this experience and knowledge to the next level and use my skills to benefit all <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />
residents.<br />

Diane Chesmar: Ellesmere Ward - district councillor<br />
I live at Norwood, our two children attended our locals schools,<br />
Dunsandel and Ellesmere College. As our district continues to grow and<br />
become increasingly diverse, it is important that we ensure our communities<br />
are strong, welcoming and inclusive. <strong>Selwyn</strong>’s most important asset is<br />
its people and they know the needs and aspirations of their community<br />
- Residents should be consulted and heard very early in any planning process.<br />
I have a proven track record of standing up for what I believe in and I will work<br />
for you, and with you, to ensure you get the best possible representation at council.<br />
