A first-time candidate for a seat on council has come out in support of Susan Chapelle in her bid for mayor.
Sacha Fabry announced Wednesday he is throwing his weight behind Chapelle.
"For the next four years, if I am elected, the people of Squamish will know how I vote on issues that are important to them for this community. Although it would be safer not to publicly choose, I feel at this time, I would like to let you know who I am endorsing for mayor and why," he said in a news release.
"I have come to this decision based on what the candidates have campaigned on and emphasized in their records, their levels of experience, qualifications, and platform."
In his reasoning, Fabry outlined Chapelle's platform, experience as a councillor, education, and involvement in the community.
"It is not steady times. It is not traditional times, and there are numerous stakeholder groups, including the vulnerable and marginalized, that need a strong voice now. And I believe that voice is Susan Chappelle," he said.
Fabry also provided compliments to each of the other candidates running for mayor, but said ultimately he was swayed most by Chapelle.
