Another Green candidate from last year’s provincial election, Nicola Spurling, recently announced she is running for Coquitlam council.

And in Anmore, Polly Krier is first out of the gates to announce her intention to run for village council.

The owner of an event management company, Krier said she has coordinated a variety of non-profit, corporate and private events throughout the region since 2007, and said her experience in business has prepared her for the role of village councillor.

“As a small business owner, I also want to ensure Anmore stays on the path of financial stability,” she said in a press release. “I’d also like to see more local events to bring us even closer together as a community.”

Elections take place Oct. 20 in all B.C. municipalities.
