Damian Kowalewich is a full-time police officer and volunteers for numerous organizations but he doesnB次元官网网址檛 want to stop there. He wants to take on a new venture of becoming a councillor in the byelection for View Royal.
B次元官网网址淚 love the community of View Royal,B次元官网网址� Kowalewich said. B次元官网网址淢y family and I have lived here for almost 10 years and we couldnB次元官网网址檛 imagine living anywhere else.B次元官网网址�
Although View Royal isnB次元官网网址檛 one of the largest communities in the Capital Regional District (CRD), Kowalewich believes that could be an advantage.
B次元官网网址淚t gives you that small town feel,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 set in a beautiful area with forests, lake, oceans, and beautiful landscape. I chose to run for the position as councillor because IB次元官网网址檒l be able to contribute to our community and add a family focus perspective to the council.B次元官网网址�
He said his platform includes increasing public participation by building connections and shaping the decision-making process so that it is more collaborative and accessible to those in the community.
B次元官网网址淎n example of that would be developments,B次元官网网址� said Kowalewich. B次元官网网址淰iew Royal is no exception to developments. I think engaging with the community is important. I think the days of simply mailing out a letter to residents about an upcoming forum that is happening at a town hall are over and I think we can communicate better with our residents.B次元官网网址�
The second item on his platform is to improve traffic congestion in View Royal. Kowalewich said itB次元官网网址檚 an issue that people are regularly voicing concerns over.
B次元官网网址淣ow that IB次元官网网址檓 hopefully representing View Royal, I think weB次元官网网址檝e got an opportunity here to increase cyclists and increase transit ridership and carpooling,B次元官网网址� he said.
The third idea on his platform is to improve the overall sense of community in the area.
B次元官网网址淥ne thing that is lacking is a family orientated community event portfolio that can be improved.B次元官网网址�
