Top ten list of Voice positives

VOICE school trustee candidate, Shelley Waldie, and her husband, Brian, ran out of fingers while listing all of the positives VOICE New Westminster represents for them.

Shelley and Brian narrowed their list of positives down to 10 that they want to share. Here is their top ten list in reverse order:

10.... Voice represents positive change

9.... Voice seeks out and values public input

8.... Voice is committed to transparency, integrity and full disclosure

7.... All Voice members and candidates live in New Westminster (see #4)

6.... Voice members and candidates have a diversity of viewpoints (entrepreneurs alongside union members….)

5.... Voice has no baggage or affiliation to any political group

4.... Voice has representation and membership from all New Westminster neighbourhoods (Victory-Massey Heights, Moody Park/Uptown, Queensborough, Glenbrook North, Queens Park, Connaught Heights, Brow of the Hill, West End, McBride-Sapperton, Downtown and Quayside).

3.... Voice has diversity in terms of age, gender and ethnicity, household income….

2.... Voice has a mix of seasoned experience blended with fresh ideas, energy and enthusiasm

1.... And the number 1 thing that Voice brings to the table that no one else can: cooperation and collaboration between the city and the school district. With Voice this is a given: The next city council, mayor and school board are already meeting as a group.


Thanks, Shelley and Brian, for sharing your list with us.
