Christopher Wood

As a father of two boys and a loving husband, I have worked for the past 20 years in the IT industry for various firms such as IBM and Northern Health. I have worked together with firms including State Farm Insurance, and JP Morgan Chase on contracts totalling 5 Billion Dollars. I have united with the payroll department at Northern Health to participate in their 200 million a year payroll. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science from UVIC, and a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce from UNBC.
To serve and protect…
Infrastructure upgrading. The Trans Mountain pipeline has leaked 82 times since 1961. The pipeline was built to stricter rules than our sewers and water were. How many pools of raw sewage are buried in our streets?
No, they should take time off in lieu.
To represent the public and to consider the well-being and interests of the City
About right, liquor store licenses should be increased to match.
I support the current hours of usage, regardless of what the review states is a result. We did not spend money to upgrade the stadium, only to look at it from outside a fence.
Open and transparent means providing information to the public so they can form their own opinion or solution and contact a council member to discuss or become further educated on the details. I would like to see a list of all employees that earn $75k or more in a year listed on the website, just like Northern Health does. If the information is available via a freedom of information request, it should be available for download to the public.
People should vote Wood for Council if they believe infrastructure improvements controlled by a property tax increased at a fixed 2% + referendum result costs property tax appeals to them. Let’s control our spending and ensure another child does not go hungry, or a senior looses their house because property tax increases.
