Although the video above was made for the purposes of last autumn’s City of Vancouver by-election, to fill a vacant seat on Vancouver City Council, the Green Party of Vancouver’s Pete Fry will once again be throwing his hat into the ring for the 2018 City of Vancouver civic election, his candidacy to be confirmed at a Special General Meeting of the party that will be held on Wednesday, June 27th, at 6:30pm, in the Heritage Hall, at 15th and Main.
Pete Fry is a city builder; a longtime, effective community activist who has worked closely with the Coalition of Vancouver Neighbourhoods; a democrat; wildly intelligent and passionate about the city, and probably more knowledgeable about city issues than any other candidate putting their name forward in the 2018 City of Vancouver municipal election.
Wherever you stand across the political spectrum, know one thing: as a passionate advocate for our city, as someone who listens and then acts on your concerns, and in the best interests of those with whom he comes into contact, who has committed to answering every telephone call, responding to every e-mail and snail mail that comes across his desk, while meeting regularly with constituents in community meetings across the city, you must save a vote for Pete Fry when it comes time to cast your civic ballot, at the advance polls, or on election day, Saturday, October 20th.
