lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Esquimalt by-election 2025" in forum "Victoria Politics".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
As the battle for an Esquimalt council seat begins, Esquimalt Chamber of Commerce president Holly Courtright (https://www.hollyforcouncil.ca/?utm_source=victoria%20news&utm_campaign=victoria%20news%3A%20outbound&utm_medium=referral) is putting her name in the ring with a platform focused on housing, fiscal responsibility and maintaining services.

"This is a critical time for Esquimalt. We have a growing community with a growing demand on services. Fiscal decisions made over the next five years are critical and will impact Esquimalt for decades to come," Courtright said in a news release.

Courtright points to her deep roots in Esquimalt through her work in "many capacities" for the township, and says she was the CUPE Local union president before leaving to establish her own real estate business.

I always wonder about statements like this. I grew up in a municipality. Lived in ones all my life. I can't remember anyone in my family pressing for more municipal "services". We just wanted the roads and the water and the traffic lights and sewers to work. And the swimming pool to be a decent temperature. No particular extra demands.

Sooke residents can receive up to $1,000 in rebates for protecting their homes and properties from fire.
