Cam Johnson Asks:
What are your thoughts on the overcrowding of many of the cities school’s? And what can be done to help that problem?
As the current Chair of the School Board, I have led this District for the past year in a very public awareness and advocacy campaign for provincial capital spending in Kamloops. Before this, the Board was advocating behind closed doors with different sectors and representatives of the Provincial Government. The campaign has served to inform the public and the Province on how specific areas of Kamloops are facing overcrowding and how critical the situation is. I am proud of the work I have done over the past year and am committed to continue doing during another term. Making this District's capital needs so very public has not been easy but we are closer to receiving an announcement than we have ever been in the past 17 years. I am running again because I am committed to strongly and publically advocating for the capital needs in this District that have been ignored for too long. My goal is funding commitments from the Province for the top 5 projects on the District's Capital plan by the time the next term ends.
