Through the 2017 Municipal Election season The Eagle 100.9 and Okotoks Online will be bringing you profiles of candidates to help you make an informed decision.

Tell us a little bit about yourself:

"I'm originally from the Okotoks area and have worked and lived all over Canada, but I moved back and raised my family here. I felt like this is the place I want to to live forever, I love the town and just want to help make it better."

What is the main part of your platform?:

"Well partly in the fact that when I came on council seven years ago there was a number of things I wanted to do. One of those being the annexation and of course this last term we finished up and we had completed the annexation, then for water to complete the annexation. So we've got water now for four to six years and we'll work for a permanent pipeline in the future."

Anything else you'd like to add?:

"I'm hoping to increase the arts and culture facilities around town and continue to keep up the beautiful river valley that we have, and just moving forward from that."

Every Okotoks candidate running for the 2017 municipal election will get to opportunity to explain who they are, their platform and why they are running. The candidate profiles are posted at random. If you are a candidate and have not been contacted, please email news@okotoksonline.com
