Tomorrow – Saturday, November 15th – is election day in Port Coquitlam. Since announcing my candidacy for City Councillor, I have met with dozens of community groups, thousands of residents, completed many issues surveys and delivered tens of thousands of flyers and other campaign literature in an effort to earn votes – and hopefully yours.
As this is my last “post” for the campaign I simply want to thank all my volunteers and supporters and to encourage you to get out and vote.
Over the last 10 years, I have been active with organizing the Terry Fox Hometown Run, co-ordinating the Wear Pink Anti-Bullying Day, speaking out on the Shell Condo by Lions Park, organizing public meetings in support of the Extreme Cold Wet Weather Mat Program, encouraging recall legislation for failing politicians and served on dozens of boards throughout the community (Homelessness Task Force, Crystal Meth Task Force, Youth Matters!, Live @ Leigh Square, etc.). It is through this public service and advocacy that led people to ask me to run – to move into a position of decision maker.
Now I need your vote.
I have clearly outlined my plan for Port Coquitlam in the Issues section of my website and in the flyer delivered to Port Coquitlam homes over the last couple of days.
These are some of the things I will do:
- Work as a region to end homelessness using “Streets to Homes†as the model.
- Draft recall legislation so we can fire our local politicians.
- I will create a Heritage Levy funded by developers.
- Restore the water grant for seniors and create new housing options.
- Create dog parks so our canine friends do not have to take us outside of PoCo to roam free.
- Hire at least one more Bylaw Officer and three more Police Officers IMMEDIATELY to ensure we keep our communities safe and our quality of life high.
Many people have asked how they can help me in this election and if you would also like to assist – and no, it is not too late – here are a few ways:
- Take a lawn sign to let your neighbours know you support my campaign.
- Make a donation to my campaign – no amount too small (or too large!).
- Visit my website – www.Dave.ca – and check out my responses to various surveys, my positions on issues, read regular updates, take part in surveys and join in on the conversation by commenting on the website articles.
- VOTE – and encourage your friends and family to do the same! CLICK HERE for the voting station locations and information.

I want to once again thank all my volunteers and supporters for giving me the help I need to be successful. The last part of this process is to earn your vote. If you have any questions or comments, please call me (604) 418-9177, send me an email dave@dave.ca or leave a comment below.
Thanks again.
