Kevin O’Toole is looking for re-election into city council in the upcoming municipal election.
O’Toole has sat on council since 2010, but council is just a small number of other committees Kevin has sat on over his 65 years of living in the city. O’Toole sat on the Philip J Currie Dinosaur Museum Board for 9 years, and has been a long-time member of the Grande Prairie Combative Sports Commission.
O’Toole says that since he has been on council, he has narrowed down what every-day problems in the city looks like.
“One of the things I’ve seen since I was a little guy here, is that the items we talk about are what people bring to us to resolve, whether its that they need a new field, more ice-time, or need support in many things, we are very responsive in making sure we resolve as many problems as we can.”
O’Toole says that council needs to be a team, and believes he fits that role just fine.
“I’m a pretty darn good team player.”
Looking back on the previous council, O’Toole says that good progress has been made in speeding up permit times in the city.
“We just got a award from the provincial government for red-tape reduction, and were doing things not in weeks or months, but were doing things in days now.”
The municipal election is set for October 20th.
