ERIC KINGSLEY - running for Councillor

Born in Toronto, raised in Northern Ontario. Graduated from University in 2012 through correspondence. I have worked my entire professional life in service to others. I have taught children, worked with vulnerable populations and brought people their wine. 

I am running for Council in an attempt to spark some motivation and fire in the decision making processes. I want everyone in town to know what is happening and for them to play an active role in our democracy. Tofino is changing every year, we can’t stop it but we can help guide it. Together we can shape the future of Tofino into something inspiring. Let’s take pride in our home.  I believe I would make an excellent addition to Council. I have been volunteering with the district as a member of the Economic Development Committee for over a year now, I regularly sit in on Council meetings and I try to keep my finger on the pulse of provincial and federal news as well. I hold a bachelors degree in Behavioural Psychology; years of study into human communication, emotion, motivation and learning. I am also bilingual (FR/EN).  Resume aside, I genuinely care about the people here and this town. I have been volunteering my time and learning what options are available to us. I know many who feel the same and do what they can in their own way. It is time for us to take the reigns and responsibly shape the future of our community.
