General Election

The accomplishments our community achieved during my past four terms as CRD Director demonstrate what we can do when we focus on priorities and work together.

In our governance system, cooperation is the key to making progress. I will continue to work hard to resolve Trust Policy and Salt Spring’s Official Community Plan (OCP) in a way that strengthen the Trust’s ‘Preserve and Protect’ mandate, while addressing key socio-economic needs such as housing. I believe these are complementary, not conflicting goals.

Community Commitment

As a community activist, MLA and CRD Director, Gary has a record of involvement with many of Salt Spring’s successes. He secured voter approval and funding for 11 new CRD services, several of which are unique in BC. He has helped secure millions in funding, including innovative use of federal gas tax funding for affordable housing, green space protection, and a number of recreational, health, community amenities, facilities, and infrastructure projects.

In his four terms as CRD Director, the Salt Spring community has made significant progress on these issues. Gary is ready to keep working with Salt Spring Islanders as an Island Trustee to continue building on these successes.
