Through the 2017 Municipal Election season The Eagle 100.9 and Okotoks Online will be bringing you profiles of candidates to help you make an informed decision.

Tell us a little bit about yourself:

"I've been a longtime resident of Okotoks, I've lived in the area for over 25 years. I'm very passionate about the town, me and my family all reside here. I've ran for council before, this is the third time I've ran so hopefully the third time is the charm."

What is the main part of your platform?:

"I think everyone's platform should be consistent in three areas; Specifically that we need to have more transparency in town, certainly accountability is up on the list, and communication with our residents. Making sure that everyone is apprised of opportunities, and not just being apprised but being involved in the ability to decision make in Okotoks."

Why do you believe you'd make a good councillor?:

"I've watched Okotoks grow up, I've been here since this was a one light town. I have been a active member of the community, and I feel I could contribute a great deal to add to a balanced council. "

The Municipal Election goes Monday, Oct. 16.

Every Okotoks candidate running for the 2017 municipal election will get to opportunity to explain who they are, their platform and why they are running. The candidate profiles are posted at random. If you are a candidate and have not been contacted, please email news@okotoksonline.com
