We are fortunate to have so many fine candidates running for council this year. But one candidate, Peter Kent, stands head and shoulders above the rest. On Nov. 15 I’m voting for Peter for Squamish Council. I encourage others to do the same.

As Election Day nears and Squamish residents consider candidates for local government, it is important that voters examine the records of those currently serving in the mayor’s office and on council.

When you first arrive in a community, first impressions often colour the way you feel about it for years to come. I arrived in Squamish Nov. 1, thrilled to begin working as Editor of The Squamish Chief and living in this mountain paradise.

Amidst the ugly backstabbing of a competitive election campaign, it’s easy to forget what is truly important in life: Ethics. Fairness. Dignity.

It is almost over. Soon Squamish will have a new council and a new board of education. The time to learn about the candidates ends somewhere after 8 a.m. this Saturday, when voting begins at the Brennan Park Recreation Centre.

Remembrance services planned The annual Remembrance Day service will be held at Brennan Park Recreation Centre on Tuesday starting at 11 a.m.

There’s just a week left now until we go to the polls to elect our next municipal council and board of education.

According to one source, our first Prime Minister climbed onto a manure pile while on the hustings and started his speech with, “Unaccustomed as I am to speaking from my opponent’s platform …” Not much has changed since Sir John A.

Much ado about shipping natural gas out of the country. Some think it is dangerous. Some think it is economic gain. Expensive advertising is widely distributed lauding its wonders.
