Wayne Stetski to run for Cranbrook city council
By Wayne Stetski
Former Kootenay-Columbia MP and City of Cranbrook Wayne Stetski is running for Cranbrook city council in the Oct. 15 municipal election.
“I have decided to run for Cranbrook city council. Why? The short answer is that I still have the “Burn to Serve” people and the planet,” Stetski stated.
“It is important when you think of electing a mayor and council that you look carefully at what each candidate brings in the way of knowledge and experience to the team, and city council is a team.
“What I bring is knowledge of how to work with all levels of government. My experience comes from serving you as your Federal Member of Parliament, Regional Manager for BC Ministry of Environment for the Kootenays, Regional District Director for the East Kootenay, and Mayor of Cranbrook. I have also worked closely with the Ktunaxa during my 32 years in Cranbrook.
“I maintain positive working relationships with leaders at all levels of government. Giving back to Cranbrook has always been a priority for me. It has been an honour to serve as Chair, Director or Volunteer with the Food Bank, Summer Sounds (Peak Music Festival), Symphony of the Kootenays, Cranbrook History Centre, Cranbrook Multicultural Society, College of the Rockies, Key City Theatre, United Way, Boy Scouts, Rocky Mountain Naturalists, the Community Forest Society and Minor Hockey and Minor Ball. Thank you to everyone who volunteers their time to make Cranbrook a better place to live,” Stetski outlined.
He listed his priorities in a press release:
• Ensuring that every citizen feels that they have a voice at city hall.
• Affordable housing.
• Attracting more family doctors.
• Ensuring that Cranbrook is prepared for the impacts of climate change and that we are doing our part to ensure a greener future for our children and grandchildren.
• Seeking opportunities to strengthen our relationship with the Ktunaxa Nation.
• Continuing the battle to fix our streets.
• Working to attract small and medium-sized businesses.
• Helping people – my life has been devoted to public service.
“While these are some of my priorities, I really want to hear what you believe we need to focuson to ensure a better future for Cranbrook, so please send me an email at [email protected] or stop me for a chat when we meet around the city.
“I really appreciate your input, your support, and your vote on October 15, 2022! Thanks!”
