On October 17, re-elect Janice Morrison for Mayor City of Nelson

The last four years

• We sat down together and built the Official Community Plan, alongside our NelsonNext climate action plan, both roadmaps grounded in the priorities Nelson residents actually named as important.
• We secured $82K from the FCM to continue our work on the Urban Tree Canopy project, $400K from the Community Resilience Investment (CRI) program for fuel management, and $7M from the Build Communities Strong Fund (BCSF) for our forced main replacement project.
• Fairview Gardens opened its doors in 2024, allowing seniors to stay local.
• We opened the new transit hub that services the city and our neighbours.
