Why I am Running

More about Matthew

I have spent my career as a frontline healthcare professional, and I am based at the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. As a director of the Health Sciences Association of BC, I represent roughly 2,300 healthcare and social service workers across Vancouver Island. I am proud to call Nanaimo home, and I intend to raise my family here one day.

Advocating for improved access to healthcare and social services is what brought me into this race. Approximately one in five Nanaimo residents do not have a primary care provider. Our regional transit network does not adequately connect our hospital to the people who need to travel there. Existing childcare hours do not accommodate the essential shift workers who we desperately need to recruit and retain in our city.

This one-minute video covers why I decided to run for Nanaimo City Council. I am ready to earn your vote on October 17th!

My Priorities

View all

Three priorities for my term on Nanaimo City Council, all of which are greatly needed by residents of our city. My goal will be to collaborate with the other councillors to advance concrete initiatives in these areas. A city that takes a leadership role in providing better access to primary care, an improved transportation system, and childcare facilities that cater to all families is a hope shared by many.

Primary Healthcare Access

Primary Healthcare Access

A vision to support healthcare excellence in Nanaimo.
Improved Transportation Network

Improved Transportation Network

A public transit system that works for youth, seniors, and families.
Expanded Childcare Facilities

Expanded Childcare Facilities

Flexible childcare hours, seven days a week, open to everyone.

Where I Stand

Beyond the three priorities, a set of clear positions on the files the next council will face, and a longer-term vision for the city Nanaimo can become.

Positions On

Six positions on the files the next council will face: rail restoration, pay parking, fiscal responsibility, data centres, the Rock City wetland, and tax increases.

Vision for Nanaimo

A forty-year view of Nanaimo as a regional centre of healthcare excellence, and the anchor projects that get us there.
