One of the candidates running in the Ward 3 byelection to fill a vacant seat on Common Council says he brings a varied background to the table that you don't normally see with your typical run of the mill city councillor.
Graeme Stewart-Robertson had given some thought before last May's municipal election to running for Mayor before deciding against. He did run to be a councillor unsuccessfully and is giving it another shot.
Stewart Robertson tells CHSJ News he has been involved in all manner of issues in the last decade ranging from poverty reduction to climate change, tourism and urban planning. He promises to bring a more energetic perspective to Council.
Stewart-Robertson is hoping to attract the votes of people who normally don't bother because they're dissatisfied with politics and have tuned out.
There will be a Meet the Candidates Forum tonight at Saint John the Baptist-King Edward School starting at 6:30 with another tomorrow night at the Carleton Community Centre.
