My Tech Guys owner and "Extreme Geek" Bob Wells has thrown his hat into the political ring, announcing he is running for Courtenay City Council.   Bob has been recognized as one of BC's Top 40 under 40 leaders for his professional and volunteer work.  His company My Tech Guys has also won several awards including the Comox Valley Small Business of the Year and BC's Fastest Growing Company.  "I'm actually most proud of the 6 times we have won local parades.  To see our team come together on projects like Habitat for Humanity and Buy a Toque is amazing", says Bob.

"I've always been interested in politics, but the City suing Maple Pool to evict its residents forced me to act now.  I am disappointed with the approach the city has taken wasting taxpayers dollars and threatening to evict our most vulnerable citizens rather than a more collaborative approach.  This is a defining moment in our City's history and action must be taken now to stop the lawsuit so that a real solution can be worked towards in partnership with all stakeholders.  The current council has had their entire 3 year term to sort this out.  Recently they decided to postpone the lawsuit until after the election", says Bob. 

Upon arriving in Courtenay in 2003, Bob joined the Strathcona Sunrise Rotary Club where he became the Youth Exchange Officer in charge of Rotary's International Youth Exchange program for the club.  As president in 2010 he commissioned a Visioning workshop so the club could create a 5 year plan. He also donated $10,000 to the Hospice Society, $5000 to YANA for Jeneece Pl, and $1000 for Rotoplast amongst others.  Bob Live Streams the Child Development Telethon as well as Federal, Provincial and Municipal candidate debates, allowing a larger audience the opportunity to watch events they are not able to attend.  Bob has worked hard to support MusicFest, the 2013 Comox Airshow and other events and festivals, helping make Courtenay the Cultural Capital of Canada in 2006. 

I am confident my experience, passion and energy makes me the best candidate for Courtenay City Council.  I have a proven record of successful leadership and working towards a better community.  If you agree, please support me and Vote on November 15 or at Advanced Polls / Mail In Ballot.
