I will seek public input and make decisions that bring the most benefit to the Langley community.
Langley, BC (PRWEB) May 08, 2014
Blair Whitmarsh has been involved in the Langley community through youth soccer, the Langley Events Centre, and Christian Life Assembly for many years and is looking forward to further entrenching his passion for community. As a member of Township Council, Whitmarsh will rely on his experience as an educator, senior administrator, and mental skills coach.
The theme for his campaign is "Working Together for Langley" which signals his belief that all citizens of Langley should have a voice in the future shaping of our community. "A primary task of Council is to raise community involvement so that Langley can continue to be a place that we are all proud of and want to raise our families" said Whitmarsh as he launched his campaign website. "We must hear from the community as we make critical decisions that affect all of us".
The campaign will focus on five overarching themes: smart and sustainable development, safe neighbourhoods and communities, a great place to raise our families, outstanding facilities for sports and the arts, and being fiscally responsible. "I have lived in Langley for 18 years and there is no other place I would rather live. We must work together to develop our community in a sustainable way. Economic development, environmental enhancements, and keeping tax increases to the rate of inflation help us to shape a Langley that we can all be proud of. Langley is about all of us".
"I have known Blair Whitmarsh for many years both as a friend and member of our community," states Lyle Kirby, President of Walnut Grove Glass and Aluminium Ltd. "The work Blair has already done to improve our community combined with his honesty and integrity gives me confidence that he will be a positive and productive voice on Langley Township Council."
Whitmarsh is committed to bringing a team-building approach to council characterized by strong communication and the ability to think through issues with wise counsel and strong community input. "I will seek public input and make decisions that bring the most benefit to the Langley community".
The Whitmarsh campaign office has selected the services of jambMEDIA (http://www.jambmedia.com) to communicate Blair's views through the use of frequent podcasts and connect to media savvy voters in Langley through the use of social media.
