Metchosin to see first new mayor in more than 30 years

Both candidates for mayor in Metchosin are campaigning on promises to preserve the rural character of the community against encroaching development

Councillors Kyara Kahakauwila and Marie-Térèse Little are competing for the seat vacated by Mayor John Ranns, who has served eight terms at the district’s helm, but isn’t running in the Oct. 15 municipal election.

Little was first elected to council in 2018 with 739 votes — fewer than 100 votes behind Kahakauwila, who was elected with 820. With one term under her belt, Little is campaigning on a promise of accountable government, a rural preservation plan and sustainable agriculture. Little said she wants to see a strategic plan that puts an emphasis on sustainable agriculture and environmental protection.
