kk MAYOR MIKE HURLEY
M
ayor Mike Hurley has been voted Burnaby’s best politician in the Burnaby NOW’s 2019 Best Of Awards. The former ďŹ reďŹ ghter and union leader was elected to the city’s top job this past October, beating longtime incumbent Derek Corrigan. Hurley’s campaign slogan was “Time for changeâ€? and the people of Burnaby appeared to agree. The political newcomer not only beat Corrigan by a comfortable margin – 26,260 to 20,333 – he received the most votes at all of
the city’s 34 voting places. Hurley promised to make housing more affordable, to invest more in recreation facilities and to be a better listener. So far, he’s shown no indication he plans to break any of those vows. He recently convened a new housing task force, opened four “warming centres� for homeless people and forwarded plans to update or replace four recreation facilities. The new mayor has also promised to increase policing and add more sidewalks and improve local parks.
