Click for previous stats considering the ramping up speculation re how many candidates may throw their proverbial hats into our #SalmonArm local govt election this fall. Note: In 2014, the council term changed to four years from three. #TimeWillTell to confirm the 2026 exact count in early September

Tim Lavery @aimhighsa.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

For context an offshoot of the BC Conservative Party announced late last year their intent in running candidates in local govt elections – with a potential list that included Salmon Arm. Time will tell. I’ll have a lot more to say about any version of slate’ish politics as the election nears.

000

Tim Lavery @aimhighsa.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Local governments, especially smaller ones like ours, are not the place for party, partisan or slate (they’re all intertwined) politics – period. Slates are not the way that local governments work best. Yes my $0.02 for sure and No I’m not the field referee!

100

Tim Lavery @aimhighsa.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

A big red card from me for any political slates who might run in our upcoming local #Salmon Arm election – whether that be some local version or something coordinated at a provincial level. Citizens benefit from having independent candidates with a range of distinct ideas

Yup pretty accurate back-in-the-day "Your mom thought you were riding your bike around the block for 8 hours But in that time you went 5 miles away, explored an abandoned house, jumped over some garage roofs, attempted a ouija board, built a den in the woods and made your own fire"
