James Flack announces his campaign for Mayor

James Flack has announced his first political campaign for Mayor in the upcoming municipal election.

Flack has lived in the peace region since 2013, during that time he has raised four kids in the community.

Flack says during his time here, he has grown to love the community.

“I love this community, I think this community provides opportunity to people in Canada and across the world.”

Flack says he is running to help improve issue’s around the city.

“I’m transparent and I want to fix our city, I believe that we have common-sense solutions, but we have no one to try and attempt to fix it.”

Flack says that one of the biggest things that he noticed from last council, and wants to change is the spending.

“The extravagant spending, we had a council that spent over $600,000 dollars in council expenses, but there is not a fair amount in terms of return in city services or improvement of quality of services.”

The municipal election is set for Oct. 20.
