An anti-LNG protest drew a crowd of 200 people to downtown Squamish on Saturday, Nov. 8.

A former Squamish Oceanfront Development Corporation (SODC) director says the council didn’t follow process, acted in haste, and used incomplete information to select the Oceanfront developer.

He hopes to bring an emphasis on advocacy to the role of councillor, if elected. “I do whatever it takes to empower people and meet them where they are at.”
