At Least One Person Likes Me....the Mayor!

Mayor Bob was kind enough to write the following, unsolicited:

“Councillor Peter Frinton has consistently provided thoughtful, informed, and practical input to Council on a broad array of issues. His ability to speak clearly and directly and even courageously about challenging island issues has many times provided the critical framework for a council decision. Peter draws on his broad and deep knowledge of Bowen Island, does his homework, and arrives at Council prepared. He is connected to a diverse community of islanders and consistently brings important community input to the council table. As Council liaison to the Greenways Committee, Peter has provided effective support for a variety of trail building, beach access, park acquisition, and community garden initiatives on the island.

Councillor Frinton has represented Bowen Island very well as Bowen’s voice on the MetroVancouver regional district board. He has earned praise from regional mayors for the quality of his contributions, and he has consistently demonstrated his command of this complex subject matter in his reports to Council. Peter’s leadership has advanced critical discussions between the municipality and MetroVancouver Parks on the transfer of Crippen Park lands for an expanded Snug Cove village.

I strongly support Peter Frinton as a Councillor on Bowen Island’s next Council.”
