IT'S TIME
"I believe that public service is an important way to support the quality of our community and I truly want to make a positive difference in our City.
It's time to provide effective leadership and add some much needed balance to Council.
It's time to implement Plan Nanaimo through responsible development that will contribute to Nanaimo and increase density in manageable ways. I particularly want to encourage affordable housing for all ages.
It's time to ensure that taxes remain affordable. We need to strive to find a balance between what we desire and what we can afford.
It's time Council provided a truly open transparent process so that you have the opportunity to influence the decisions that affect you.
And it's time to ensure Nanaimo is age-friendly -- so that all ages can enjoy our parks and facilities, and can access our buses and stores.
I call upon the voters of Nanaimo to get out and vote in this election on November 19th. Just look around the world and see how people struggle for the democracy that we take for granted. It's Time, Nanaimo, to revitalize City Council with new blood and new commitment."
Born in Vancouver, Darcy moved to Nanaimo in 2004 to raise her children and immediately fell in love with trail walks through the many parks, the easy accessibility to the waterfront and the friendly people of Nanaimo.
