Royal Canadian Legion Branch 37 centennial memorial

In Sidney, Jack represented North Saanich at the unveiling of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 37 100th Anniversary Memorial and bench near the Sidney/North Saanich Library.

Jack joined veterans, Legion members and community residents in marking a century of service to veterans, military families and the Saanich Peninsula communities. He is pictured with Ryan Trelford, President of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 37, and with fellow Legion members at the unveiling ceremony.

Jack was also present as the Legion recognized Brian Robinson, now an employee of the Town of Sidney and formerly employed by the North Saanich Public Works Department, with a gift of appreciation for his work on the 100th Anniversary Memorial and bench.

Trusted voices support Jack

Integrity, sound judgment and responsible stewardship for North Saanich.

Jack just told it the way it was, no gilding the lily, or pop-up insights or sudden recollections, just the simple truth.

He is of solid character. He is honest and open minded. He is hard working and will help transform governance in North Saanich.

Steve KelliherLawyer and longtime North Saanich resident

I first met Jack in 2014 during the North Saanich municipal election, and I had the privilege of serving alongside him on Council for eight years.

During that time, I came to know Jack as a thoughtful, principled and dedicated member of Council. He is fiscally conservative and understands the importance of responsible stewardship of taxpayers’ dollars. He also recognizes that good municipal government is about much more than finances - it is about people, community and working together to get things done.

Jack believes strongly in collaboration and, in addition to the Council table, that includes the Peninsula and Greater Victoria. He understands that the challenges facing our communities don’t stop at municipal boundaries, and that effective leadership means building respectful relationships and working with neighbouring municipalities and regional partners.

Most importantly, Jack is a person of integrity and compassion. He listens, treats people with respect and approaches difficult decisions with appropriate care and attention. I have seen firsthand his commitment to North Saanich and to public service.

I am pleased to endorse Jack for Mayor of North Saanich and believe he would bring the experience, integrity, fiscal responsibility and collaborative leadership that our community needs and deserves.

Accountability and service

A stronger, more accountable North Saanich

North Saanich residents deserve local government that communicates clearly, makes decisions transparently and remains accountable to the taxpayers it serves.

Jack believes the direction and communication of local government must renew a strong spirit of openness, responsibility and public service.

North Saanich should be a strong community within a great province. That means working constructively with residents, community organizations, neighbouring municipalities, First Nations, local businesses and the Province of British Columbia.

Government should listen to residents, explain its decisions and remain accountable for the results.
Jack's priorities

Practical leadership for North Saanich

Transparent decisions and responsible stewardship of the community residents have worked hard to build.

01

Transparent municipal budgeting

Residents deserve clear, timely and understandable information about municipal finances, changing costs and the results taxpayers should expect.

02

Accountability to taxpayers

Significant expenditures should be justified by community need, affordability and value for money.

03

A practical housing response

North Saanich must address provincial housing direction while protecting infrastructure capacity, environmental assets and rural character.

04

Community-informed recreation

Recreation decisions should reflect meaningful consultation with residents, facility users, community organizations and affected neighbourhoods.

05

Infrastructure and responsible growth

Housing and growth must be planned together with roads, water, drainage, sewage, emergency services and community facilities.

06

Respectful, responsive government

Residents should feel heard, informed and respected. Decisions should be explained clearly and supported by evidence.

07

Working with people

Strong communities are built through collaboration. Jack will work with residents, First Nations, neighbouring municipalities, community organizations, businesses and other levels of government to achieve practical results.
