I am offering a new way forward – one in which government is a place where we all belong and nobody gets left behind; an instrument of good. Rightly so, this new future will demand that we boldly set aside our partisan blinders and abandon our ideological entrenchments, for a house divided against itself cannot stand. As Mayor, I want to establish a Council that will speak not just to who we are, but to who we hope to be. I invite you to visit my website (www.marcuswong.ca) to learn more about me and my career background in the public and private sector, as well as the different organizations across Canada on whose boards I serve. But more importantly, I want to share with you my Blueprint for Hope as the next Mayor of West Vancouver. I seek the office of mayor not because of its glories, but because of its challenges – because of what must be done. So I ask you to join me, as we bring about change for today, so that we may have hope for tomorrow. Let’s do this together!
