Norma Blissett, long time Cranbrook
resident, high school teacher and former provincial NDP candidate will run for
Cranbrook City Council in the upcoming municipal election.
“Cranbrook has been a wonderful place to live and to raise my
three children. Now that they have grown up and left the nest, I have time to
devote to my community as a member of city council,” she said.
“My
priorities will be infrastructure-- improving Cranbrook roads, water and sewer
systems -- and growing our local economy. We also need to implement the results
of the deer survey and do whatever we can to ensure that every Cranbrook
resident has a family physician.”
Blissett holds bachelors degrees in both
forestry and education, as well as a masters degree in leadership and
administration. She teaches forestry, math and science at Mt. Baker Senior
Secondary School. Previously she worked
as a forest educator for a group of East Kootenay forest companies.
Blissett has volunteered for a number of
community organizations including Citizens for a Livable Cranbrook, the
Cranbrook Community Forest Society, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the
Salvation Army, Cranbrook Minor Lacrosse and Kimberley North Star Ski
Racers.
“We
need to have a variety of people with different work and life experiences to represent
the citizens of Cranbrook,” said Blissett. “I’ve worked in the forest industry,
taught a few thousand Cranbrook students, and have spoken with hundreds of
residents. I think that I can bring a focused energy to get things done on
Cranbrook City Council.”
