Raison de la candidature

Council lacks and needs young families perspective. Council needs policy expertise, especially my background in climate, energy, transportation, landuse planning, regional governance, carbon accounting and economics.
Also, 10y on Community Association - I understand needs and approaches for neighbourhood consultation.
I want to serve the community - levelling up from years’ volunteer work on committees: #UptownDouglas, Parks/Rec, Active Transportation

MEDIA RELEASE, July 5th 2022

www.Trevor4saanich.ca

Trevor Barry, local musician and Saanich community leader, announces his plan to run for a seat on Saanich Council in the 2022 civic election this fall. He is also putting his name forward to serve on the board of the Capital Regional District.

Trevor is a public service professional with 12 years of expertise in low-carbon mobility and development policies, sustainable regional planning, public safety, and legislation. He has been a resident of Saanich for 15 years. During this time, Trevor has:

  • Served as a member of the Executive of the North Quadra Community Association for 9 years, including as President since 2021.
  • Been an active member of the District of Saanich’s Active Transportation, Uptown-Douglas, and Parks, Trails & Recreation Advisory Committees. Volunteered in support of his local Parent Advisory Committee (PAC), Easter Seals, Variety Children’s Charity, and co-founded the Best Coast Big Band.
  • Regularly attended and actively participated in weekly Saanich Council meetings over the past four years: asking questions, bringing community concerns forward, and making policy recommendations. 

Trevor’s campaign will centre on five core priority areas: 

Right-sizing density planning: 

ensuring that the right housing and services happen in the right places, based on affordability, walkability, transit, and natural assets.

Climate action leadership: 

strengthen Saanich’s GHG reduction and climate adaptation strategies. Trevor brings over a decade of expertise in climate action and sustainability to the table, including solutions for low-carbon mobility alternatives and energy efficient buildings. 

Supporting small businesses:

advocating for the needs of local businesses, including timely permitting, affordability challenges, and recovering from pandemic health restrictions and labour market disruptions.

Safe and healthy communities: 

ensuring safe roads, abundant recreation opportunities, accessible child care, fun and engaging community events, and ample park space for families of all ages, stages and abilities.

Moving Saanich online: 

creating user-friendly municipal services, including streamlined online and mobile apps for recreation, parking, park permits, utilities, e-documents, and payments.

Over the next few months, Trevor will engage with Saanich residents on their priorities, to further develop his platform in collaboration with the community.

Bringing Saanich families and community together is one of Trevor’s passions and will be a key feature of his campaign. In early June, he organised a public event at Beckwith Park that attracted hundreds of visitors, complete with free food, activities, bike valet, and live band performances. Trevor plans to hold more events like this over the summer at different parks throughout the community. Trevor also plans to volunteer at community events like the Strawberry Festival, Music in the Park, and the Great Canadian Beer Festival. 

General Election Day for Saanich and other BC municipalities is Saturday 15 October.
