Saanich South
Ned has lived in Saanich his entire life, cherishing the sense of community and the stunning natural beauty of the area.
Seeing how politics could make tangible changes in people’s lives, Ned decided to run for Saanich Council at just 18 years old. On his second run, he was elected as the youngest-ever Saanich Councillor and CRD Director. For the past four years, Ned has worked tirelessly to make meaningful change for the community. He led the charge to build more sidewalks, ensuring kids can get to school safely. He spearheaded efforts to accelerate the region’s response to climate change, striving to secure a future for his generation. He consistently advocated for expanding housing stock because everyone deserves an affordable home.
Ned is young, energetic, and passionate, and he has proven that he can be effective in government. He has delivered change while elected and is ready to take this to the next level. Ned is tired of seeing the current provincial government make bold statements about climate action but then approve new LNG plants and continue to log old-growth forests. He is concerned about the rising cost of living and the lack of housing in Saanich. He knows that these problems are solvable, but only if we’re brave enough to make significant changes to the systems that have caused them in the first place.
If you share Ned’s concerns and his vision for a better future, join us. Together, let’s fight for a better future for the people of Saanich and all British Columbians.
