Council Candidate (Warfield) Carolyn Amantea - in her own words
By Contributor
As a 16-year resident of Warfield, I am looking forward to serving our community as a member of council. I am running this year because I believe that I have the skills, motivation and connections to continue the work of our outgoing government and ensure that Warfield is a safe, thriving and vibrant community in which to live, work and play.
My interests and strengths lie in community development and the advancement of social initiatives. As the Community Literacy Outreach Coordinator for the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL), I work closely with seniors, families, newcomers and youth throughout the Lower Columbia. Currently, I am the vice- president of The Skills Centre board of directors and sit on the Columbia Basin Trust’s Social Advisory Committee. Locally, I was involved in the development of Warfield’s Food Charter and am a member of the Warfield Food Advisory Committee. Most recently, I have joined the working group for the establishment of a Lower Columbia Community Health Centre Network and am excited by the prospect of securing better healthcare options for this region’s residents.
Collaboration within the council, between communities and, most importantly, with our residents is critical. I am confident that a skilled, motivated team – mayor, council and staff – with foresight and careful planning will be able to achieve sustainable solutions to Warfield’s most pressing issues. It is my hope that you will choose to add me to that team when you vote on October 15th .
