A call to the Corporation of Delta City Clerk's office has revealed that three more candidates have filed their nomination papers to run in the upcoming Delta by-election. Kathleen Higgins, Maria Devries, and Art Harms have officially entered the race for the seat left vacant by the late George Hawksworth. Higgins, who lost in the last general election, and Devries, best known for relinquishing her provincial Liberal nomination to Wally Oppal, let their intentions be known prior to the nomination period. Art Harms, on the other hand, has entered the race in relative anonymity. This brings the list of official candidates up to four as Sylvia Bishop was first to declare on Tuesday. Other people who have declared their intention are Sandeep Pandher, Ian Paton, and Amy Ghuman Sara. They have until August 13th to file their nomination papers.

I tend to agree with Bernadette Keenan, that Sylvia Bishop is the candidate to vote for. The race has barely gotten started and she's all over two issues important to the quality of life here. She opposes the South Fraser Perimeter Road and the development of the Southlands, also known as the Spetifor lands.
ReplyDeleteMost of our current councillors and Mayor don't seem to stand for anything important, other than more development, regardless of cost to our quality of life. Sylvia Bishop has so far had the strength of character to stand firmly for what she believes in and for that, she will probably get my vote.
