I’m strongly supporting her re-election for two things that matter most to me and my neighbours, protecting pedestrians as scooters and bikes crowd our walkways, and ensuring the ICBC waterfront site is shaped for the public good.” Those are the tests I, and many others, will hold her to. She’ll step up!

Her career in nursing prior to being elected Mayor has undoubtedly instilled these qualities in her. All City residents will continue to be well served when she is re-elected Mayor.”

I have never been more confident that I am raising my children in a community that supports them. ”

She is the leader the City needs.”

I am supporting Linda to ensure that the CIty of North Vancouver remains a destination of choice for families to come to lay roots.”

In her first 4 years as Mayor, Linda has advanced the City as an inclusive community that puts people at the centre of decision-making. I am supporting her re-election so that she can continue this vital work.’”

I’m supporting Linda in her re-election because I know that she will build relationships to ensure the job gets done.”

Her experience at both the municipal and regional levels has given her the knowledge, judgment, and collaborative approach needed to lead the City of North Vancouver with confidence.

We immigrated to Canada in the 60’s and settled here on the North Shore, and in the 80’s we opened our family restaurant just off Lonsdale. Since that time we have seen significant change across the community. Linda Buchanan has been an outstanding Mayor, especially during the pandemic. She has proven herself as a strong, knowledgeable leader who listens to all people in the City. As a longstanding family-run business we appreciate her deep roots in the community. For these reasons, we would be very happy to see her return as Mayor for another term.”

“My wife, Lesley and I relocated 10 years ago from North Van District to our present location within the Shipyards. Downsizing can often require lifestyle adjustments but moving to the city has been an extremely pleasant change. The amenities we enjoy including an ever-growing list of new restaurants, distilleries and retail shops gives us wonderful enjoyment and our proximity to the Spirit Trail supports our daily physical activity. There is a direct connection between the upcoming municipal election and the pleasures we enjoy in this neighbourhood. For 8 of the past 10 years referred to have been guided by our current mayor, Linda Buchanan who has played an important role in that success. Linda leads with integrity, kindness and strength. She approaches challenges thoughtfully, and can balance long-term vision with practical decision-making. She listens carefully, values collaboration with community and her colleagues on council, and treats people with respect, while remaining steadfast in her commitment to making informed decisions, after exhaustive research on all matters, that serve the long-term interests of the community.

Please join with us in re-electing Mayor Linda Buchanan on October 17th.”

“As a resident of the North Shore for over 62 years, and of the City of North Vancouver for the past 6 years, I have seen what good leadership can accomplish. I live in the Shipyards and cannot imagine living anywhere else in the world. Having seen this area grow into a vibrant centre for food, entertainment, recreation and shopping while allowing residents to live in quiet harmony is a combination few cities have been able to accomplish. With Linda Buchanan at the helm, our city has become the template that others strive to achieve. She has my vote!”

“Linda Is a great advocate for North Vancouver and her residents. Throughout my years as MP I saw first hand how she fought for the priorities of people in our community and successfully advanced key projects such as affordable housing through the North Shore Neighbourhood House, Rapid Transit to the North Shore and Crosscut Bridge, Shipbuilding, a new home for Flicka Gymnastics and more. It was a pleasure to work with her.”
