George William Frederick Doubt I am running for re-election to City Council and I ask for your support. I moved to Powell River in 2014 to be close to my family after my retirement. Before retirement I was employed for many years by BC Tel and Telus and was an elected officer of the Telecommunications Workers , representing members as a local officer, moving on to the role of Business Agent and a member of our Executive Council. I was re-elected many times and finally served 2 three year terms as national President.

My elected Union roles led to work as a Pension Trustee of our Defined Benefit Pension Plan, as a member of the Board of Directors of Concert Properties and Concert Real Estate Ltd, and of other associated financial investments. I was also an executive member of the BC Federation of Labour and the Canadian Labour Congress. All of that led to significant involvement in politics on Federal, Provincial, Regional, and Municipal levels As part of my duties on Council, I served as the chair of the Finance Committee, Tourism Powell River Liaison, and as one of the Municipal directors on the board of the qathet Regional District. I chaired that group's Finance Committee, served on the Regional Hospital District Board, the North Island 911 Board of Directors,and the Supportive Housing Community Liaison Committee.

I have been a member of the Wildwood Ratepayers since 2014. I am running for re-election because I believe I have the leadership skills, experience and clear understanding needed to work collaboratively with the community and Council to set goals and respond to the challenges that exist now and will arise in the future. I am confident that those characteristics will provide the basis for making decisions based on the best common interests of the residents of the community equitably and inclusively in and atmosphere of Respect, Kindness and Optimism.
