Two more to run for NV aldermanic seats

TWO MORE political hopefuls
have put their names forward to
run for aldermanic seats in North
Vancouver District and City.

A North Vancouver engineer-
physicist is the latest person to

add his name to the long list of
candidates running for alderman
in North Vancouver District.

Patrick Bruskiewich, 29, cam-
paigned first for a seat on council
during the last municipal election.

‘“f think this campaign is as
much about quality of life issues
as quality of government issues,”’
Bruskiewich said.

Bruskiewich served most recent-
ly on the district’s Advisory Plan-
ning Commission, the task force

implementation of an access to in-
formation bylaw, a lobbyist regis-
tration bylaw, an election expenses
and declaration bylaw and an end

To date there are 14 candidates
running for a seat on North Van-
couver District Council.

Meanwhile in North Vancouver

City, a former alderman is keen to
return to council.

Said Allan Blair, ‘*! recognize
that taxpayers generally are in
revolt and that they expect council
to keep taxes to the minimum.’’

““My overall aim is to work
hard to keep the city affordable
for our seniors and young people
and to maintain the enviable qual-
ity of life we enjoy on the North
Shore.”
