For Mayor of Cedar Harbour
Glen Whitfield
Community first.Basics done well.
The candidate
Meet Glen
Cedar Harbour is a good place to live. The job of council is to keep the everyday things working: the roads, the water, the permits, the parks, and a budget people can actually read.
I am not a career politician. I spent thirty years running field operations for a regional utility, where a crew, a budget and a deadline had to line up every single day. For the last six years I have served on our strata council, and for ten before that I coached minor hockey on Saturday mornings.
I am running because the basics have become harder for the people I have worked beside all that time, and most of those problems are fixable if someone owns them. On council, that is the whole job.
The plan
Four things, done well.
Basics that work
Roads, water, drainage and parks maintained on a published schedule anyone can check.
A council that answers
A real reply within five business days, and evening meetings so people who work can attend.
Growth that fits
New homes that respect the neighbourhoods around them, with permit decisions on a posted timeline.
A budget you can read
One plain-language spending summary every year, before the tax notices go out.
Community first
TRUST
- T
Transparency. The numbers, published in plain language, before decisions are made.
- R
Responsiveness. A real answer from town hall within five business days.
- U
Upkeep. Roads, water and parks maintained on a schedule you can check.
- S
Safety. Lit crosswalks and finished sidewalks on the school routes first.
- T
Teamwork. Working with neighbours, staff and the region, not against them.
