Armstrong councillor looking to serve fourth term

A long-time Armstrong city councillor is looking to retain his seat.

Steven Drapala announced he will run in the fall municipal election in a bid to serve a fourth term in office.

“The decisions I make on council, will be guided by my desire to maintain Armstrong as the close-knit, inclusive community that we all love,” Drapala said in an email to Vernon Matters.

“I will also lean on my background in science to make educated decisions regarding sustainable, responsible development and resiliency to climate change. In addition to this, one of the strengths I bring to Council is the ability to communicate and collaborate with fellow councillors to find common ground when differing viewpoints arise.”
