Candidate for city council, Karm Manhas, accuses incumbents of failing the most vulnerable people of Prince George and downtown businesses during an all-candidates forum held Saturday at UNBC's Canfor Theatre.
Karm Manhas, candidate for city council, literally pointed his finger at the incumbent city councillors during an all-candidates forum Saturday at UNBC's Canfor Theatre.
Manhas backtracked a bit and mentioned some of the incumbents who have a good reputation within the homeless community, including Brian Skakun. “How would you approach the city’s relationship the Lheidli T’enneh and other Indigenous organizations? Be as specific as possible.”“I think this is where I can bring a lot of experience from my role as a school trustee at SD 57,” Polillo said.“I will be honest with you there’s not much of a plan for Truth & Reconciliation but they do have a fairly good relationship with Lheidli T’enneh,” Polillo said.
He thought making the space that used to be Northern Hardware into an complex for wood working shops, art studios, a space for language classes and to provide a space to purchase items created by Indigenous people like rawhide snowshoes or dugout canoes, would be beneficial for all residents, he added.
Incumbent Garth Frizzell also answered the question by talking about Chief Dolleen Logan speaking before council during their last meeting at City Hall. Logan credited Mayor Lyn Hall with doing more to build a relationship with the Lheidli T’enneh than anyone else before him.
