I am a forest ecologist and a recovering municipal politician. Protection of the natural environment should be at the to[ of the list for Saanich voters this October. Development pressure never lets up. Saanich needs a councillor who will defend the agricultural fields, forests, wetlands, and Garry oak meadows that drew people here in the first place. Nathalie Chambers has shown, again and again. that she is that person. I encourage you to re-elect her to Saanich Council and to the CRD
