So they aren’t all masterpieces, but the bazaar’s volunteer art team promises a few hundred paintings and prints, many of which are originals, at the Saturday, November 24 sale.” Carter and other volunteers will spend more time over the next few Photo: Pat Goyeche Pat Photo: weeks sorting and pricing the donated Geoff Rider, Abbotsford member and volunteer, sorts donated art in preparation for the annual Abbotsford Bazaar on November 24. works. “It’s a task that can lead to some animated conversations about the value of a certain work,” said and volunteer.

I have a plan that focuses on:

BETTER RULES TO GUIDE SMART DEVELOPMENT • Promote planning that provides clarity and certainty for both residents and developers alike • Build a strategy for growth with planning decisions that enhance the vibrancy of the community

GREENER AND MORE RESILIENT NEIGHBOURHOODS • Protect trees, green space and advocate for green infrastructure to mitigate the effects of climate change • Better waste management with more compost and recycling bins in all buildings, on our streets and in our parks with separate containers for pet waste

RESULTS FOR OUR COMMUNITY • Advocate for property tax fairness, so residents of Capital Ward are not paying disproportionately more • Protect the safety of our streets by reviewing traffic patterns, cycling connectivity and pedestrian crossings

On October 22, I look forward to earning your vote. Together, we can bring new energy to City Hall!
