“Councillor Patricia Driessen has been an outstanding advocate for recreation and sports infrastructure in our community. Through my involvement with swimming, hockey and other community organizations, I have appreciated her willingness to genuinely engage with user groups and listen to the people who use these facilities every day. She has taken the time to understand the challenges facing athletes, families, coaches and volunteers, and has demonstrated a sincere commitment to ensuring future investments are informed by those experiences. I also appreciate her commitment to planning for tomorrow's needs, not just for today. Building facilities with the capacity to support future growth is the most responsible use of taxpayer dollars and helps ensure they continue to meet the needs of our community for generations.”

“I believe in the vision Carmen and Abbotsford Voice are championing for our city. They love the city we call home just as much as I do, and their passion and bold vision for moving Abbotsford forward are clear. Carmen understands that our sports community is falling behind when it comes to infrastructure. Having been involved in baseball for many years, I have seen firsthand the need for better facilities and greater investment in our local sports community. As a business owner, I also understand the importance of supporting the development of a better Abbotsford. Development that creates opportunities, supports local businesses, invests in our community, and gives people a reason to build their future here. I trust Carmen and Abbotsford Voice to champion this vision and make meaningful progress for Abbotsford. They have my full support.”
