Peter Wainwright, a long-time Sidney resident and Sidney Councillor from 1993-2008 was elected in 2014 to serve as Sidney Councillor for a 4-year term.
I was a Sidney Councillor from 1993 to 2008.
I decided to run again because Sidney is facing some significant challenges over the next few years. Also, there are some things (like Beacon Wharf) that are overdue for attention.
I believe I can make a difference.
