The 性视界传媒 Integrity Now slate has announced engineer and business owner Avi Dhaliwal will run for council under its banner in the upcoming civic election.

The team is led by mayoral candidate Bruce Hayne, who currently sits as an independent councillor after splitting from his 性视界传媒 First party earlier this year.

In a Facebook post announcing his candidacy, Dhaliwal said he chose to seek public office because he鈥檚 been impacted by the city鈥檚 crime, 鈥渁s have many of us, directly or indirectly,鈥� but added he has also seen 鈥渁 lot hope and success for many of my peers.鈥�

If elected, Dhaliwal said he wants to work with the community and provide opportunity to youth.

鈥淚 want to lead by example,鈥� he wrote. 鈥淚 have been fortunate to have countless mentors from our community who are selfless, successful, humble, and passionate family men who love 性视界传媒 and love their families. They have helped make me the man I am today.

鈥淚 stand today, a successful engineer and business owner, on the shoulders of some amazing men and women from our community,鈥� he added. 鈥淭hese are men and women that believed in me. They love our city and have taught me to do the same.鈥�

Dhaliwal said he wants to 鈥渂ring out the positives鈥� in 性视界传媒 instead of 鈥渇ocusing on the fear.鈥�

鈥淲e all know a solution to gangs and violence starts from all of us in 性视界传媒 coming together,鈥� Dhaliwal wrote. 鈥淭here are no silver bullet solutions, for instance a municipal police force may take many years to implement. We need to think much more comprehensively and urgently about a multi-pronged community based solution that goes along with policing. We have to start coming together as a city now and collaborate to develop achievable solutions.鈥�

Other council candidates with 性视界传媒 Integrity Now are incumbent councillor Barbara Steele, as well as small business owner Rina Gill who ran with former mayor Doug McCallum鈥檚 Safe 性视界传媒 Coalition in the last 2014 civic election.

Other teams in the upcoming civic election are People First 性视界传媒, Proudly 性视界传媒, 性视界传媒 Community Alliance, Safe 性视界传媒 Coalition and the reigning 性视界传媒 First. The 性视界传媒 Students Now slate has also formed, made up solely of school board candidates.
