ABOUT CHRIS

Chris brings five combined terms of local government experience, including time as an alternate RDN director — a proven track record as an expert in both business and government.

Chris has deep roots in Area F, having lived in both Errington and now Meadowood. For 18 years, Chris and his wife Steffany have owned and operated the Meadowood Store, employing many Area F residents alongthe way.

When he’s not working, Chris is an outdoor enthusiast and a private pilot. He can often be found relaxing at the Little Qualicum River or out on the trails on his ATV.

Chris’s Key Priorities for Area F

Five priorities Chris will bring to the RDN Board — built from conversations across Coombs, Hilliers, Errington, Meadowood, Whiskey Creek and the surrounding rural areas.

01 — RDN Taxation

Tax increases are out of control. I’ll use my seat on the board to strongly advocate for taxation reform and operational efficiencies that keep costs manageable for residents.

02 — Incorporation Study and OCP

The province has now indefinitely delayed the incorporation study. Regardless, I support seeing this through and will work in the background to prepare for when it can finally move forward. In the interim, we should be reconvening our OCP review, which has been stalled since 2023. Our OCP is a critical tool to protect our vulnerable aquifers.

03 — Emergency Services Focus

Following last year’s Wesley Ridge interface fire, I’ll work hard to strengthen emergency preparedness and response in Area F. Our communities need to be ready for whatever comes next, with the planning, resources, and support needed to keep residents safe.

04 — Rural Land Use & Water Supply

I’ll work to protect our aquifers with updated land use policies by reconvening our stalled OCP review. Together we will further strengthen rural priorities and values by ensuring we have an updated plan to manage where and how future growth will occur throughout Area F.

05 — Transparent Communication

We need to get Area F back on track. Proper communication is essential to do that. I’ll prioritize open, consistent communication with residents — through digital media, annual town hall meetings in multiple locations, meeting residents in their own communities, to report back and hear directly from you.
