Becky Hogg, a small business owner, said that as a life-long resident of the Cowichan Valley, where she is married with three grown boys, she’s committed to being a strong voice for the community.
She said she’s focused on ensuring safer streets with more bylaw officers and a comprehensive community safety plan, and she’d advocate for the provincial government to establish an involuntary treatment centre on Vancouver Island.
“In the midst of a housing crisis, I believe speeding up building permits is crucial because we can’t have projects left at a standstill for multiple months on end,” Hogg said.
“I will work to improve accountability in spending taxpayers’ dollars and explore ways to generate revenue for North Cowichan that will help offset the rising property taxes. Unnecessary spending must stop because our community can’t sustain constant tax increases. Let’s prioritize fiscal responsibility and work together to create a safe sustainable future for all our residents.”
