In order to get beyond the election signs and the candidate profiles Abbotsford Today has put together a series of questions for candidates in the upcoming municipal election. We will be publishing the answers provided by those who participate.
- What do you know about the way civic government operates?
- Why did you decide to run?
- What does social responsibility mean to you as an elected city councilor?
- What do you want to accomplish and how will you get it done?
- What should the City of Abbotsford do with Abbotsford Center now that the Heat are gone?
- What should Abbotsford’s approach to homelessness be?
- If elected what would you do about the law suits faced by the City of Abbotsford by members of the Abbotsford Chapter of the BC/Yukon Drug War Survivors through Pivot Legal Society?
- Abbotsford suffers from the highest unemployment in Western Canada and has for years. What would you do about that?
- How would you resolve the commercial truck parking issues here in Abbotsford?
- Abbotsford had no animal control and care facility. Will you address this issue when elected and how will you do so?
- Is there anything we should have asked that would better demonstrate your value as a candidate?
