Richmond City Council candidate Linda McPhail. Oct. 2014

As a  lifelong resident, married for 31 years with three children,  I believe that Richmond is a great place to live, work  and raise a family.  I strongly believe in giving back to the community and have been an active volunteer .

A  former school trustee and Chair of the Board, I bring experience, leadership skills, a strong work ethic and  common sense  approach.  I have forged strong relationships within Richmond and have the ability to work cooperatively to affect change.

During my first term on Council  I have worked hard to ensure that Richmond remains a vibrant, family oriented city  with single-family neighbourhoods and planned growth that has a healthy mix of housing choices such as senior’s and affordable housing.

I believe that elected officials should be held responsible when it comes to allocating our taxpayer dollars. I have stood up for lower taxes with controlled spending and  am committed to openness in council budgeting and  decisions.

I share your desire for a safe community with access to key amenities  such as recreation and transit. Key focus areas for me are environmental sustainability and youth engagement.

I am proud of our rich, diverse history and optimistic about the future.
