VIDEO LINKS -- Jaimie McEvoy on the Issues A lot has happened in New Westminster over the past few years... We're finally addressing our homelessness problem, with a new Homelessness Coalition, Homelessness Strategy, and new transitional housing to help the homeless get off the streets and stay off the streets. We've revived the environment committee of the city, which had been disbanded by previous councils, and adopted a city environmental strategy. We have a new multiculturalism committee, to begin to address the needs of a city in which more than 100 different languages are spoken in one of the most diverse cities in Canada. And, importantly, new construction is revitalizing our city, and people are choosing themselves to move to and live in New Westminster. New Westminster has turned a corner and we cannot afford to go backwards. There are still issues to be addressed, things that you and I both care about. Increase health care and housing for our senior citizens. More affordable housing for young families, including new homes and affordable rents. And more child care for our families. I care about these issues, and these are the things that have been my priority, as a member of the Community and Social Issues Committee, the Parks and Recreation Commission , and as a member of several boards and charities, ranging from the Royal City Humane Society to the work done in support of Saint Mary's Hospital . My pledge to you is that if elected I will work in a positive manner with the Mayor and Council, for the good of our city. Jaimie McEvoy. |
