ANGELA PEEBLES

Age: 45 Occupation: I coown The Regal Diner and am the only server there.

Family: Simon Kelly - partner in life and business, and son Jacob 19 and daughter Amelia 17

Previous political experience: None, but have been active on several different boards and committees.

Community Work: I started the ball rolling for an Out of the Cold Shelter here in NF and helped create chill-zone the cooling centre this summer. I participate in No One Goes Hungry and started The Breakfast Bank.

Top issue: My top issues are social ones, but also making sure that the average local feels their issues are being heard and addressed.

Why are you running? I feel that an effective City Council needs a varied range of councillors and that I would be a good representative for the average resident who feels they are not currently being heard.

Why should voters choose you? I am open, honest and transparent, I am frugal with money and good at budgeting, I understand the issues average people face and am confident and outspoken enough to speak to those issues without compromising my own moral standards.
