Ken Barry Asks:
How do you feel about a Ward System for Kamloops?
At some point we will have to consider it. The city is growing and in a few years we will need to rethink how we provide representation for everyone. I chuckle at those who say no, it will be too partisan and divisive. The school district is like a ward template and you don't see rural trustees only promoting their own area needs to the detriment if the district as a whole. I believe Kamloopsians are smart enough to elect people who will see the citywide mandate but also be there to provide ongoing communication with their areas. How many councillors now provide that to every area if the city?
