Season 2: Municipal Election Series: Todd Phillips

Coastal Currents with Aaron Reid

My name is Todd Phillips. I was born in Powell River in 1965. I have lived here my entire life except for when I have left for post-secondary education. I am currently involved in a stable 23 year common law relationship.

I have spent most of this time working in the logging industry as a faller and first aid attendant. I've owned my own successful small business in the salvage logging industry for 20 years. I've spent 33 years reclaiming 20 acres and restoring the buildings on land in Cranberry. Recently I decided to sell the business and property to downsize and slow things down as I retired from the industry.

I no longer spend the majority of my time in camps and currently work and live in central Westview. I have been involved in local soccer since elementary school, then moving on to Senior Men’s followed by Powell River Villa, topping it all off with games played for Canada’s national para team. I am a member of the local search and rescue. I also volunteer for Special Olympics. I do not sit on the boards of these non-profits and am unpaid for my time.

I am running in this election because I think we need a change in how things have going over the last number of years. For those that know me I am a worker. I will do the research and put in the hours to get the right decision. I do not belong to; donate to, or have I ever been a paid employee of a political party. I am not taking campaign donations. I am independent.
