So to recap - Paul Brown is running for Mayor, Lisa Helps is running for City Council, and now Dean Fortin is running for re-election as Mayor of Victoria.
Things are heating up, and as such Victoria Votes will soon be something to watch, with regular updates as they happen (as opposed to several weeks late like this one).
FYI, here is some info about Lisa Helps:
On Monday the 16th at Cabin 12, community activist Lisa Helps announced she will run for Victoria City Council. Her meeting focussed on what Helps called building community wealth, saying she would help build "A strong, resilient, interdependent local economy; well-being, connectedness, and security in community; a healthy environment we respect, use with love, and protect; and a city where citizens lead."
Helps was the chair of the board at Fernwood NRG, the organization responsible for a number of Fernwood's affordable housing units as well as the Cornerstone Cafe. She sat on the Advisory Committee for the City's recent Official Community Plan review, and is currently the executive director of Community Micro Lending, a local non-profit which provides small loans and mentoring to aspiring entrepreneurs.
