Coldstream Mayor Ready For Election Campaign

Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick is putting together his re-election campaign as he faces a competitor in this year’s civic election.

Former councillor Bill Firman jumped into the race just before nominations closed Friday afternoon. saying he felt a Mayor needed to be elected, not acclaimed.

Garlick is fine with that.

“It gives people a choice and I guess Mr. Firman’s feeling is he doesn’t like the idea of a person just getting in without having to run through an election without putting his name forward. I just hope that he wants the job.”
