1. Rob Johnston I have been an active member and Director with the EDA since my retirement as the Director Enforcement with the CBSA. I have supported the EDA by: volunteering in three elections; serving as EDA Secretary for three years and most recently as Financial Agent for 2018, 2019 and to date in 2020. I have proactively managed the EDA finances to ensure we are always ready to fight an unexpected election by ensuring we always have enough in the bank to immediately fully fund a campaign. I enjoy working for the EDA and look forward to doing so in the future with your support. 2. Norm Stowe My family and I have lived in the Cloverdale portion of the riding for 33 years. In addition to owning a media relations and public affairs firm with offices in Vancouver and Victoria, I have served on the boards of the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation, Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the YMCA’s Regional Capital Campaign Committee. My first Tory campaign was 1974, knocking on doors for Robert Stanfield. I’ve been an active member of the party ever since and have been proud to serve since 2016 on our board. If I am given the opportunity to continue on the board I’m looking forward to helping our party and its new leader build an inclusive party where every Canadian feels at home and gets a chance to better understand our values as Conservatives. 3. Ed Hird Rev Dr Ed Hird has been living in South Surrey since 2017. With a degree in Social work, Ed appreciates compassionate conservatism that cares for the most vulnerable. He served on the North Shore for 31 years as an Anglican pastor and newspaper columnist and author. Ed became involved in Federal Poltics, especially during elections, while in North Vancouver. Doorknocking is seen by Ed as a key to winning elections. He has personally visited 20,000 homes in North Vancouver and more recently 7,100 homes in South Surrey/White Rock during the recent Federal election. 4. Elaine Allan, BA, MBA Elaine Allan is a conservative business executive who has led non-profit organizations through phases of unprecedented growth. In 2015 Elaine ran for the Conservative Party of Canada in Vancouver Centre. Vancouver ridings, as many other Canadian urban centers, have become safe seats for left-leaning parties largely supported by third parties. After the 2015 defeat of Canada’s Conservative government, Elaine worked with grassroots activists to research third party election spending and identify the roots of the socialist surge now impacting Canadian elections. In 2017 and 2019 Elaine volunteered on South Surrey White Rock’s federal campaigns. During this time Elaine made many friends in the riding and would like to continue her volunteer work to ensure South Surrey White Rock remains a Conservative seat. 5.

Hardy Staub Unfortunately due the epidemic, our Riding AGM will have to be in Zoom style, and we can only talk and watch each other via electronic devices. In addition, members of our Party seeking a Board membership on our Riding Association, have been asked to submit their biography in writing, using no more than 230 words. So here is a short history of who I am, was, and accomplishments. Served 7 years in the Canadian Armed Forces and retired to attend University, Sir George Williams and Carleton University. Subsequently undertook Flight Training, and ended up as the Chief Flight Instructor for that same school. I was hired by the Airlines, and due in time became a Captain, of the various airlines, ie. Quebecair, PWA, Canadian Airlines and finally Air Canada. While thus employed I was honored and fortunate to served our community as follows: 1. President of my Rotary club, and two years later served as the District Governor of Rotary International District 5050. 2. Served In elected office for 17 years, the last those 9 years as the Mayor and Vice Chair of the GVRD (Metro Vancouver). In addition besides my airline and mayor job, served on our Board of Commerce, and other community organizations. I need your help to leading and ensuring that our riding stays Conservative. 9. Paul Schwartz I have been a member of our EDA board of directors for six years. Also I have served as our elected Secretary for the last few years. In 2017 and again in 2019 I served as chair of the Candidate Nomination Committee which oversaw our nomination elections. In 2016 and 2018 I have attended the national conventions as part of the South Surrey – White Rock delegation. In the last several elections in this riding I have volunteered in various capacities during the campaign, served as a poll captain and have been our scrutineer at the advance polls ballot count. I have also chaired and served on committees which have organized various initiatives and participated in community events. As part of my involvement with our EDA I have taken both Elections Canada and CPC courses and regularly review related information. This year I have been attending BC CPC Presidents' Council meetings along with our President. I am a regular annual donor to our EDA and have been in the "Blue Diamond" group in prior years when we ran that program. I believe that our EDA board should continue to try to have sufficient funds always to be able to contest two federal elections within a 12 to 18 month time span. I think of us as like trustees for our donors' money and believe that we must make our spending decisions accordingly. I live and own a business in this riding. 10. Michael Pavlic After serving a term on the Electoral District Association Board, I believe that I have and that I can continue to make a difference. With a legal, political, consulting, and dispute resolution background, I look forward to earning your support to continue my work with the Board.
