Burnaby mayor wipes out opposition
November 21, 2011, Burnaby, BC – Elected to all council and school trustee seats in Burnaby for the second time in a row, including the Mayor's seat, the Burnaby Citizens Association would like to thank all the good people who participated in Saturday's civic election.
Mayor Derek Corrigan, who was re-elected to serve a fourth term, was applauded at the BCA victory party on Saturday evening as he thanked Burnaby voters for “having a great deal of faith in our government”.
Hundreds of supporters, volunteers, family members and friends gathered at the Alan Emmott Centre on Southoaks in Burnaby early in the evening to watch the election results on a large screen via the the internet. The BCA campaign supporters, volunteers and staff were in full swing all day to pull the vote and after the polls closed, it became clear their efforts were all worthwhile.
BCA president Gord Larkin took the microphone just after 9 pm to announce the election results and invited Mayor Corrigan to take the podium. After a very moving speech, interrupted by frequent applause, Corrigan invited his fellow BCA incumbent councillors to join with him – Pietro Calendino, Dan Johnston, Anne Kang, Colleen Jordan, Richard Chang, Sav Dhaliwal, Paul McDonell and Nick Volkow.
Corrigan congratulated Larry Hayes and the school trustees as Hayes took the podium, thanked Burnaby voters, the campaign team and volunteers and introduced the four incumbent trustees – Ron Burton, Gary Wong, James Wang and Baljinder Narang – who were re-elected and welcomed Meiling Chia and Harman Pandher as the newest trustees.
The Burnaby Citizens Association would like to thank the hundreds of volunteers and supporters who helped out with the campaign to keep Burnaby strong and a great place to live, work, learn, play and do business!
