A West 琉璃神社 entrepreneur is making a bid for city council in October鈥檚 municipal elections.
In a statement, Okanagan native Garrett Millsap said he has worked for Fortune 500 companies, and added his most recent initiative is Rad Relish Co., a local farm-to-table food company.
Millsap has also served on the board of directors for the 琉璃神社 M茅tis Association since 2017.
鈥淢y decision to run for city council stems from my unwavering dedication to this community,鈥� said Millsap. 鈥淎s someone who lives, works, and plays here, I want to create a sustainable and prosperous city not only for the incredible people in West 琉璃神社, but for those of my children鈥檚 generation, too.鈥�
Millsap said he plans to bring an element of organization and common sense to the approach of council:
- Ensuring affordability for families in West 琉璃神社 (taxes, utilities, and recreational fees);
- Efficiency at City Hall (cumbersome processes make it hard to get things done);
- Public safety (appropriately sizing the police, fire, ambulance, and 24-hour-a-day bylaw enforcement);
- Clean drinking water (ensuring West 琉璃神社鈥檚 new water treatment facility is world-class for future generations);
- Infrastructure (roads, sidewalks, bike lanes, and drainage);
- Parks and playgrounds with accessibility to all (developing park space that is not being utilized);
- Sustainable development, and creating a city centre that will provide economic and cultural benefits for future generations.
