Elizabeth “Betty” Stewart

Candidate for Councillor · Port Clements

Candidate-submitted profile

My name is Elizabeth “Betty” Stewart. I am running for Councillor for the Village of Port Clements. Since 2017, I have solely-owned & operated a small business in Port Clements and am known for my Grandma Betty’s Artisan Jams & Jellies. I was a VOPC Councillor from 2017-2018, and am proud to say I was on the Council that successfully lobbied, negotiated and finally secured Cell Service for our Community (which went live in March, 2019). Issues of Interest ... VOPC: It is essential that Council returns to a more accessible governing body that represents all of its Taxpayers, and ensures the public is informed of Council’s discussions & decisions in a fair, transparent, accurate & timely manner. Employment & Volunteers: Pursue initiatives that assist in the development of Employment & Volunteer opportunities. Education: Help find a path forward to keep our Elementary School open. Healthcare: Continue to advocate for the Haida Gwaii CT Scanner Project.
