A long-time Creston councillor is making the move to Cranbrook, and seeking to make the move to Cranbrook city council as well.

Wes Graham has been on Creston council for nine years (three terms). But he has moved back to his hometown of Cranbrook, and looking to continue his career in public service in this town, in the upcoming municipal election on November 15.

“I’ve always enjoyed council,” he said. “It would be great to come back to Cranbrook and serve in the community I was raised in.”

Graham says he will focus on the issues of infrastructure, health care and safety, recreation and economic opportunities. “These are the factors that people look at when moving to a community and factors existing residents and business people look at when they re-invest in a community.”

“I’m bringing nine years of previous council experience, as well as a commitment to focus on the roads in Cranbrook,” he said.

“I want to work with local doctors to make sure we have enough in this community.” Graham was involved in an award-winning doctor recruitment strategy that has brought and kept doctors in Creston.

Graham sees the potential in local recreation to increase the number of visitors and enhance the quality of life for residents.

As well as his Creston council experience, Graham’s resume in public service includes five years on the board of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities as a director. He is also Past-President and a lifetime member of the Association of Kootenay-Boundary Local Governments (AKBLG).

Graham looks forward to hearing from the citizens of Cranbrook and working hard on their behalf. Any comments or questions feel free to ask [email protected]
