Mike Harcourt & Darcy Olsen at the Vision Nanaimo Rally.

"As someone who was first elected to the Vancouver City Council at the age of 29,I'd like to offer my support to Darcy.

Joblessness is Underlying Issue in Nanaimo

"The underlining issue in Nanaimo is not homelessness but joblessness.  The new Council's first priority should be to address the issue of unemployment here in Nanaimo.  We need to focus our efforts on encouraging the economic activities that will provide jobs!  This is a fundamental 
and long-standing issue here, and if elected, I am determined to pursue it."   - Darcy Olsen

Responsible Planning and Development

"Responsible planning and development are crucial to a balanced community. We need to ensure our parklands stay parklands. As our City grows we need to encourage developers to create multi-family residential housing with places for our children to play and seniors to enjoy and walk. We need to provide affordable housing so families, seniors, and singles can afford to live here."  Darcy Olsen

Nanaimo is not a Single Issue Community

"Our new Nanaimo City Council needs a larger vision than just one issue. We need to talk about responsible planning and development, taxes, affordable housing, our environment, buying local, and tourism for a start." - Darcy Olsen
