What do you plan to do to enhance services and infrastructure
for Area A residents?
Oscar Nielsen
Directorial Candidate Area A
I am for progression and understand the need to have effective and up to date infrastructure in order to support growth and chances within a community. However, any new infrastructure must benefit the community as a whole and be supported by the majority of the area residents. I am running for RDEK Area A because I do not have an agenda. I am aware that many individuals seek government appointments because they have a vested interest in projects and work. That is not the case for myself. I grew up in Fernie, married a Fernie girl and left for a career in the Canadian Armed Forces and now that I have settled back in the Valley I would like to serve my community.
