Kyara KAHAKAUWILA
for 
Metchosin Councillor

"Metchosin is my home, where I grew up and have raised my children. I am running to return to Council because protecting our longstanding rural values must remain at the heart of Council’s decisions. The past four years have reinforced how important meaningful, respectful and connected leadership is to our community. With 17 years of elected experience, I understand the financial and regional pressures threatening Metchosin’s rural character. I will bring thoughtful, accountable decision-making back to the Council table, working respectfully with Council, staff and residents to address today’s challenges while setting future councils up for success. Together, we can protect the community built by previous generations and preserve it for those who follow."
