James - What is your position on the Foundation Organics compost facility being run out of Stanhope Farms?

That's an interesting situation and I hope to get a chance to speak about it at the all candidates meeting. I am excited to answer questions at both of the all candidates meetings, or over a coffee. Please give me an idea of what you would like to know about, and hopefully we can connect with some face to face time to discuss this issue and anything else that comes to mind.

Thanks,



James McNulty

For Immediate Release

James McNulty has put his name forward for Central Saanich Municipal Council in this year’s municipal election. James has not made the decision to run for Council lightly, and though there are number of factors which brought him to this stage they can be essentially summarized by four important points.

1. James is upset by the trend towards less transparency within the Council.
2. James is deeply concerned with the current state of the Keating Industrial Park.
3. James hopes to be a driving force behind the inclusion of the younger generation in community decisions.
4. James questions the rationale behind having council members who do not live, own property, or run businesses in Central Saanich.

As the only Keating Industrial Park business owner in the race and the only candidate representing the next generation of Central Saanich policymakers, James brings a crucial perspective to the Council.

“I'm passionate about my community, my family, and my business, and I want to ensure the best for them for now and for the future.”

In addition to being an ALR land owner, James also owns and operates a business in Central Saanich. He is proud to support the community by donating to important projects such as the Boulders Climbing Gym at Stelly’s School, and by involving himself in initiatives such as his personal “Fight Against Hunger” in 2008, where he spearheaded a campaign to feed Victoria’s homeless. With his deep ties to the community, large vested interest in local land issues and ability to take initiative, he can ensure the community makes the right choice in the moment but never loses sight of the future.

Can I assume that you are as excited to answer questions on here? Because this is the forum that works for me.

Given that there was quite the public outcry during the construction phase, I'd like to know whether you are for or against this facility. In addition, I'd like to know whether you are for or against the existing bylaw restricting (i.e., banning) commercial sale of the compost produced by this facility. If you are against it, would you be willing to back a motion to repeal it? Thanks.

[James McNulty]

I realize that there are some passionate viewpoints about this situation, however the zoning for the area is very clear and the property owner is well within his legal rights to pursue any activity that complies with the zoning. Compromise is an essential part of life, and even more so in a complicated situation where you have active commercial farming next door to domestic households. I hope that I can create and maintain a constructive dialogue in order to address the concerns of all parties involved.

[EllenGruenbaum]

Why are you so interested in this Bob? You don't even seem to live in the area, and yet you are asking every single candidate this question.
What would you do about it?

[Sparky]

Welcome to Vibrant Victoria EllenGruenBaum.

[EllenGruenbaum]

Thanks for the welcome Sparky. It seems like a lively forum.
