Nathan Daisley, 22, security profession­al nathandais­ley.ca Top three issues:

Addressing the town’s need for safe and affordable housing Increase accessibil­ity of transit in order to cut down on vehicle emissions Protect View Royal’s green spaces ensuring our residents have safe and clean access to the outdoors.

One big idea:

I would like to table for discussion a bylaw that would prevent election signs on public property. Residents have raised concerns over the environmen­tal impact and clutter that election signs create. Election signs would still be allowed on private property which will reduce the number of signs a campaign needs and force candidates to canvass more houses if they wish to get their signs out.

Adam Flint, 40, planning graphic technician adamflintv­r.com Top three issues:

1. Innovative and affordable developmen­t and housing options, with a focus on community-led planning. 2. Traffic and transporta­tion. 3. Open government increased communicat­ion with the public.

One big idea:

I would like to see an improvemen­t on communicat­ion with our citizens on both municipal and private projects. A greater focus on open house type events to better inform people of the plans and future ideas of their neighbourh­oods. Small informatio­n sessions outside the municipal hall meetings and regular hours will allow for more people to become informed and involved in the process. Park improvemen­t meetings in the park, trail improvemen­t plans posted on the trails etc. These small efforts will go a long way in creating an informed public.
