Why I am sharing this information
Local elections affect decisions close to daily life: housing, transportation, parks, taxes, infrastructure, safety, and how neighbourhoods grow. I want Coquitlam residents to have clear, accessible information about how to participate.
I am Benjamin Perry, and I am running for Coquitlam City Council because I believe City Hall should put neighbourhoods first and make decisions that work for residents.
