Dear Editor, I wish to congratulate our successful candidates in the election and to also say thank you to all who offered themselves for public service. It was a great campaign in so many ways.

Dear Editor, Thank you to all those candidates who allowed their names to stand for election and their committees who assisted on the campaigns.

Dear Editor, The desire of the Bowen community seeking balance in its governance is abundantly clear this election. A balance in genders, three new women for a total of four out of seven, compared to one out of seven in last council.

Dear Editor, That was quite an election for us all and I, like all the other candidates, am proud to have been a part of it.

Dear Editor, I wanted to put out a call of thanks to all the folks who hosted all kinds of news and information during the election campaign.

Dear Editor and Community, Thank-you for your tremendous vote of confidence in what I stand for and where I want to see Bowen Island in the future. I am humbled by your support and I will not let you down.

Dear Editor, Except for the first municipal term, which was kind of a honeymoon, Bowen’s political climate has been somewhat bifurcated.

On Saturday night, and since then, I’ve felt extra proud of Bowen Island.
