I support increasing council size

Good afternoon Mayor and Council.

I wanted to send a quick note, as a follow-up to my previous email, supporting moving to a 6 member council.

View Royal is growing and communities of similar size on the island (Sidney and North Saanich) also have 6 councillors. As we grow, adding potentially up to 5000 new residents over the next 5-10 years, these same View Royal residents deserve to have their voices heard and they're concerns and views reflected at council.

Increasing council size to 6 allows for increased access to elected representatives, a greater diversity of experience and opinion, and enhances the overall discourse and debate at the table.

I encourage you to vote yes on tomorrow's bylaw amendment to increase council size to 6 councillors.

Thank you.
