I have used the equipment for many volunteer jobs to many to remember and will help out when I can.

4. Just as mayor for the past seven years.

5. Economic stability for Ashcroft is most important because with that a lot of the other problems will be solved: school closures, jobs will bring young people and children for schools. Will solve tax issues with more industrial Tax base, etc.

6. I have been working with government to get the Ashcroft Terminal recognized as part of the Asian Gateway Initiatives. We are now part of the Asian Gateway Taskforce I’m still working to land a Data Centre in the area and now Premier Clark at UBCM said to me she will be our best sales person.
