Rob Wasylciw vying for city council seat

Rob Wasylciw is throwing his hat in the ring to become a member of Grande Prairie City Council for the first time.

Wasylciw has spent the majority of his life in Grande Prairie, and has spent his entire career working in the electronic industry. Wasylciw says if he were to be elected, he would want high-speed internet to stay consistent around the city.

“My pet project will be for this term if I am fortunate enough to be elected will be getting high-speed internet all over Grande Prairie, instead of in select areas of town. ”

Wasylciw says city council needs a change, and believes there needs to be more transparency about what is being discussed.

“I feel that the current city council has gone stale, and it is time to have newer and younger leadership on city council. There is things going on at city council that nobody knows about.”

Wasylciw also believes that the decisions that were made by the recent council are not the true representation of residents.

“I think decisions are being made in the interest of the wrong people, so instead of the decisions being made in the interest of the majority of the population, decisions are being made for a small sub-section of groups.”

The city election is set for October 20th.
