Hi! I'm Kevin.

Seeking a District of Saanich Council seat in October 2026.

Navigate to the next section

As a public servant and consultant, I’ve seen firsthand how decisions are made and services are delivered at all levels of government.

Voting is lending a piece of our citizenship to a neighbour we trust to represent our interests in government. I can carry your vote.

In my first year—alongside all required council responsibilities—I will thoughtfully and transparently answer these questions:

1.

Can Saanich and Victoria’s fire and police services work better together? If so, how and what are the challenges and benefits?

(This is important in the face of a regional crisis or natural disaster, and municipal public-safety inequalities)

2.

Have other levels of government made promises to our community that have been broken or failed to launch?

(For example, see page Victoria-Saanich Citizens’ Assembly Final Report page 56, Minority Report 1)

Guiding principles:

  • Protect and advance the services Saanich residents want and rely on most
  • Optimize district revenue through efficient service delivery and responsible taxation
  • Seek opportunities to better collaborate with Victoria and the 11 other Capital Region municipalities, especially regarding services
  • Hold other levels of government accountable for their responsibilities to our community
  • Transparent, good-faith and respectful decision making

My Perspective

As a member of Saanich District Council, I promise to be present with an objective, open mind that supports durable decisions mapped against what makes me – as a husband, dad, business owner, uncle, son, brother, friend, and neighbour – feel safe, happy, generous, and purposeful in our community.
