Endorsements

“I'm thrilled to endorse Matthew Miller for Nanaimo City Council. As a former labour leader, I've known Matthew to be a strong advocate for worker safety in the healthcare industry and he represents his members effectively with the provincial union. He has the experience to be an effective voice for progressive, yet principled, municipal policy that will support the residents living in Nanaimo.”

Kane Tse

Former President, Health Sciences Association of BC

“I've known Matthew for several years as a colleague and friend. His leadership as our regional director was demonstrated most recently on the nursing strike picket lines in July. He was the first HSA member on the line and was the last to leave, and this encouraged our members when we needed to show solidarity with the nurses at NRGH.”

Lead Steward, Nanaimo Regional General Hospital

“Matthew is incredibly organized and committed to making Nanaimo a better place to live. He has practiced sonography in rural communities across Canada, from the Atlantic provinces all the way to Nunavut. Rarely do I see a young man with such a strong desire to see first-hand the vastness of our country, and I believe that his perspectives will be valuable for a growing city such as ours.”

Peter Dasler

Director, MY CRC Foundation

“Matthew's ability to connect and build a connection with anyone is the open-mindedness we need to see more of, and I know he will create positive change for our city in a leadership role on Council.”

Angelo Batoon

Acute Care Rehab Assistant

“We have known Matthew for several years and believe he would be a tremendous addition and representative to Nanaimo City Council! We believe his ideas and enthusiasm paired with his hard work will truly make a difference.”

Charanjit Brar

Longtime community member

“It is a great honour for me to wholeheartedly endorse Matthew and his realistic, achievable, and forward-looking vision for Nanaimo. Alongside his remarkable professional and personal achievements, Matthew embodies the finest human qualities: dedication, authenticity, compassion, and a natural ability to engage and work effectively with others. I came to know Matthew during my journey with cancer and through his own journey to make a true and lasting difference in the great and diverse community he has chosen to call home—Nanaimo. Matthew has proven himself to be a loyal, kind, and steadfast friend. He is my personal hero. Much as Sir Wilfred Grenfell is one of Matthew’s personal heroes—and a great Canadian legend—I believe Matthew can and will make that kind of difference in our world.”
