“I am passionate about Campbell River.  I believe that leadership needs to be dynamic, engaged and trusted. A leader needs to understand the core relationship between the private sector and the not-for-profit sector within a community.  Both contribute equally to a local quality-of-life and are dependent on each other for economic success.”   

Ken Blackburn has sat on numerous City committees over the years and has worked in a number of volunteer capacities.  He has created over 800 community programs through his work 

“I understand well community dynamics and what it takes to effect real change. I am looking forward to the election campaign to outline where we need to go to foster our economy, to face our social challenges together and to put in place the environmental awareness needed to ensure the Campbell River area grows in a sustainable manner in the years to come. “
