For the past seven years I have had the privilege and honour of serving as a member of your city council. I have lived and worked in Prince George for nearly 40 years. During that time I have been very active sitting on boards such as, Spruce Credit Union, CNC and CNIB. I am Past President of the United Steelworkers and Employment Action to name a few.
I am married, have four sons and six grandchildren.
Prince George is going through a period of steady growth with new hotels,motels, restaurants, apartment blocks and homes. As of the end of September, we have had $150 million invested in our city. During the last four years we have reduced our debt by $40 million dollars.
I am proud of what I and my fellow colleagues have accomplished, but there is still more work to do. We have shown that even with various different backgrounds and under the leadership of Mayor Hall, opinions can be shared and consensus reached for the benefits of all of Prince George.
Three priorities in my opinion are our infrastructure above ground and below ground, affordable housing and homelessness.
I would appreciate the opportunity to continue working for you. I will put my efforts, along with the new council, into dealing with these priorities over the next four years.
On Oct.20, I ask for your vote to re-elect Everitt for city council.
