ERIKA BIRD<br />
for Council<br />
I’ve lived in Kaslo for almost<br />
30 years, have raised a family<br />
here and now am enjoying<br />
being Granny to two little ones.<br />
I live, work and shop in down-<br />
town Kaslo, so I have a real<br />
interest in our local economy.<br />
Recently, I volunteered on the committee to update<br />
Kaslo’s Official Community Plan. Working with others on<br />
a plan that will allow us and future generations to thrive<br />
was a rewarding and enlightening experience that will<br />
support my work if I am elected to Council.<br />
As chair of the Kaslo Housing Society for the last 6 years,<br />
I am very happy to see our 10-unit building on A Avenue<br />
getting closer to completion every day. Secure and<br />
affordable rentals are just a start; more can be done to<br />
create housing opportunities that will be appropriate as<br />
our circumstances change.<br />
If elected, you can count on me to be<br />
responsible, respectful and effective.<br />

My parents were big on giving<br />
back to the community.<br />
I could do that by continuing to<br />
volunteer on the projects I am<br />
involved in, but for me, I would<br />
rather give back by helping<br />
make Kaslo the best it can be.<br />
We are so lucky to have such amazing volunteers but we<br />
also need decision makers. I believe one of my strengths<br />
is the ability to work with a variety of different people.<br />
One of our basic human needs is to be heard. I appreciate<br />
and value the diversity in our community and at the table.<br />
I hope to continue to listen to all our voices to make<br />
reasonable and informed decisions.<br />
Please consider re-electing me<br />

our community.<br />

the challenges of the future are being debated and faced<br />
with ingenuity and innovation. I feel called to serve this<br />
community to represent young families such as my own,<br />
and the challenges and opportunities that face us all.<br />
I have lived in Kaslo nearly half of my life. I am hopeful<br />
that my actions in our community in that time will inspire<br />
you to entrust me with your vote.<br />

I am extremely proud of what<br />
Kaslo council has achieved<br />
in the past four years. With<br />
the help of our dedicated<br />
volunteer groups we have seen<br />
upgrades to our arena, ballfield,<br />
golf course, the SS Moyie, and<br />
the trail system. As well, the development of Front St.<br />
park and the creation of a new Official Community Plan.<br />
But much work remains to be done in the areas of Kaslo<br />
South planning process, waterfront development, and<br />
sewer and water facilities upgrades.<br />
This will be my fourth election and I will continue to<br />
commit to bringing my years of expertise to the council<br />
table. My background in infrastructure provides a historical<br />
context to discussions on these important matters.<br />
I support respectful dialogue and stakeholder<br />
engagement. These are critical elements to the success<br />
of any future councils.<br />
I ask for your support at the upcoming election.<br />
