Kim Claggett

My goal in running for office is not because I want to be a politician, but because I want a chance to be involved, in an impactful way, in discussions about: housing; public transit; services for our youth and elders; the spending obligations of a town with a population of less than 1,000 people; and transparency. In my previous life, I worked with street youth in Vancouver and served on the Board of the Downtown Eastside Raymur Housing Project. I served 10 years on the Board of the Daajing Giids' Housing Societies, the last few as President. I trained in Mediation and Negotiation at the Justice Institute of BC, and have developed 2 successful local businesses. I currently run the Foodbank for south-end Haida Gwaii. I understand that public service is service, and I am prepared to take this obligation seriously. I believe that we have more in common than what separates us, and we are all in this together.
