Outgoing Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps says she's grateful for the two terms she's served as the city's mayor, and weighed in on some of the rewarding and challenging aspects of her job while speaking with Victoria radio station CFAX 1070 on Wednesday.
Helps, who was mayor for eight years and a city councillor for one term before that, was speaking on the last day of her job as mayor, before she hands the position off to Marianne Alto on Nov. 3.
"I think the most frustrating part of the job, and I realized this very early on, it's just the nature of the job, is being constantly and completely misunderstood," she said. While she's uncertain what she'll do next, she says she"wouldn't be surprised" if she wound up in one of those fields."Not only housing for people who are currently living on the street and living in tents, that's obviously important, but housing for the middle class," she said.
"Our job as the government is of course to take care of the present, the roads and the sewers and the parks and those things," she said.
