Election day is Saturday, Oct. 15
It’s standing room only at the Oak Bay all candidates meeting on the Friday evening before the long weekend.
The next council will have the chance to make plans and set priorities for the areas around Willows Beach and Cattle Point, areas of extreme importance to the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations, said Murdoch. Watson, who has a graduate degree in urban planning, said Oak Bay needs to set up the framework to permit infill housing.
All candidates are advocating for meaningful conversation with the community and the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations on the long-term future of the Oak Bay Marina site. But there are differences of opinion on how reconciliation should take place. Some, like Braithwaite and Appleton, believe the First Nations should take the lead. Others advocate working with the First Nations as partners, building and nurturing a relationship.
