View Royal council is considering clamping down on the blizzard of political signs that is sure to blanket the town in upcoming elections.
View Royal council is expected to approve rezoning for three properties along the Island Highway, including the site of the former Cambridge Motel.
Defeated two-term mayor David Screech says he accepts his defeat, but will become “a self-appointed council watchdog.”
Former navy officer Sid Tobias has been elected mayor in View Royal. He defeated incumbent David Screech, who was first elected to council in 2002 and became mayor in 2014. Tobias had 1,291 votes to Screech’s 1,055.
Sid Tobias says he wants to increase transparency when it comes to decision-making in the municipality, while incumbent David Screech said finalizing the Official Community Plan is one of the major tasks facing council in the next term.
