In an effort to keep voters as informed as possible heading into the Oct. 15 municipal elections, the Comox Valley Record sent out five questions for Courtenay candidates to answer.
- Despite commendable efforts from the Coalition to End Homelessness, the number of unhoused people in the Comox Valley, and particularly Courtenay, continues to rise. How do you plan on addressing the homelessness situation?
- What are your ideas/solutions regarding the housing/affordable housing crisis in the city?
- Active transportation has been a hot-button topic for a few years now, with the city continuing to expand its network of bike lanes, etc. Where do you see your support going in regard to active transportation infrastructure? Are you in favour of continuing to expand on the bike lane project, or should efforts and attention be paid toward motor vehicle transportation infrastructure (I.e. an additional river crossing, improving public transit)?
- Crime, particularly crime against properties (theft/vandalism) is on the rise. How can this be addressed?
- Reconciliation is an ongoing process. Where is your community lacking in that regard and how can we improve relations?
