Hello Islanders,
My name is Peter Luckham, I am one of the currently elected Islands Trust Trustees for the Thetis Island Trust area. Many of you know me from my 34 years living on the island. There are also a fair number of you who are new to the island, and we may not have had the opportunity to meet. This message is an invitation to all of you to meet and discuss Islands trust and to seek your support on Election Day.
In keeping with what appears to be a Thetis Island tradition of light campaigning, I will not be posting placards or going door to door and intrude on your privacy. However, I would be pleased to receive invitations from individuals, families and small groups if you would like me to come and knock on your door for a conversation. Over the next few weeks, I plan on spending time outside our community centre to provide drop in opportunities.
It is possible I will also host a zoom meeting if there is an interest to meet for a virtual dialogue.
If anyone on the island would like to organize an all-candidates’ debate, I would be available. Typically, such events are organized by non-partisan groups. Let me know so we can figure out a time and date that suits all the candidates.
I will be attending Trust Council October 20-22, and plan to start my campaign discussion opportunities on Friday September the 23rd. I am setting the following dates for drop-ins and will be available by appointment on most other days leading up to the election for discussions or meetings with you.
Friday September 23rd 11:00 to 1:00
Saturday September 24th 10:00 to 2:00
Wednesday September 28th 11:00 to 1:00
Friday September 30th 11:00 to 1:00
Saturday October 1st 10:00 2:00
Tuesday October 4th 4:30 to 6:30
Thursday October 6th 11:00 to 1:00
Saturday October 8th 10:00 to 2:00
Monday October 10th 4:30 to 6:30
Thursday October 13th 10:00 2:00
Saturday October 15th, Election Day.
Please phone or email me to arrange a visit to your home for a door knocking engagement. 250-252-0758 or VA7DVR@gmail.com
