Why you should not vote for Alan Harrison and incumbent candidates
The Salmon Arm Observer has reported that Alan Harrison worked 34 years as a teacher/principal followed by eight terms on city council, the past two as your major. Proving that he has followed either a curriculum or foreign agenda for his entire working life.
I strongly believe, regardless of his professional career, that he lacks critical thinking and the capacity for independent thought.
He has demonstrated multiple times, especially during Covid, his lack of ability to question the “official” narrative of provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry, by following her often illogical, and ineffective advice.

A case in point, on November 15, 2021, during a special council meeting, the council led by Alan Harrison, unanimously adopted a vaccinate mandate policy for city employees and contractors. Despite more than 60 people attending that meeting prepared to question the council, there were fully ignored and council proceeded with its decision
At that term, council members also included incumbent Louise Wallace Richmond and Debbie Cannon, both of whom are seeking re- election.
Forcing others, to be injected with experimental products, for which manufactures did not accept any liability, under the threat of losing the jobs is unacceptable in a free society.

According to FOI request, the City reported that two city employees passed away in 2022. As per inside information, another employee of the recreation centre passed away while the vaccine mandates were in place.
I’m not claiming that their deaths were caused by the COVID- 19 vaccine, but there is strong evidence, including testimony presented at the recent Allison inquiry, that COVID- 19 vaccines have cause serious health complications and deaths. Could Kevin Flynn have been a more recent victim?
How many people get sick, develop cancer or leukemia, or experience other health issues is currently unknown.

In January 2022, officials of the City of Salmon Arm received a delegation request from concerned citizens requesting the opportunity to present at an upcoming council meeting. The presentation focused on concern over mandatory vaccination for City of Salmon Arm employees and elected officials.
Erin Jackson, an administrative officer {still in office} wrote: “The city has reviewed your request to present to Council and is respectfully declining it. We are committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace, in accordance with information received from both the provincial and federal governments, and this topic is not open for debate at a Council meeting. “
This delegation request was reviewed and discussed by administrative officer Erin Jackson and the Mayor Alan Harrison.
In the fall of 2023, the City abruptly closed the SASCU Indoor Memorial Sports Complex without prior notice. The facility had been used during the winter by local soccer clubs and other sports associations. The City stated that there were safety concerns regarding the roof.
In February 2024, City Council approved a $70,000 contract to complete a structural assessment and life-cycle analysis of the facility. The assessment concluded that the recommended repairs for full occupancy would provide the “minimum level of repairs which will allow safe use of the building year-round.”
The estimated cost of the recommended repairs to support partial occupancy was $89,700, while the estimated cost of repairs to support full occupancy was $2,778,000.
The demolition of the SASCU Indoor Memorial Sports Complex took place in 2025, bringing an end to a historic building filled with thousands of memories for local residents, soccer players, and other sports enthusiasts.
The cost of demolition? $373,610 plus taxes. Combined with the approximately $70,000 spent on the structural assessment and life-cycle analysis, the City spent more than $443,000 on assessing and demolishing a facility that had served the community for years. Enough money to fix it instead?
In the end, Salmon Arm lost its only indoor sports complex for indoor soccer and other activities. And what about a replacement facility? For now, a new sports arena appears to remain a distant prospect, while the community is left waiting for answers about when—and whether—it will get a new one.
Meanwhile, in 2023, the City Council approved $72,030 for the local curling club, which also somehow received an additional $144,506 from the federal government that same year for roof repairs. On top of that, on December 15, 2021, the City signed a five-year lease agreement with the curling club for city-owned land at a rate of just $1 per year. Incumbent Mayor Alan Harrison and Councillors Debbie Cannon and Louise Wallace Richmond are members of the curling club.
For the past several years, City Council has approved multiple 5G towers within city limits. Has anyone from the City conducted any research into the potential harmful effects of EMF radiation on human cells and the environment? Did they read a study by James G. {“Jerry”} Flynn, who was a Canadian Armed Forces captain (commissioned from the ranks in what was then the Royal Canadian Navy) who spent 22 of his 26+ years in the ‘Forces’ in Electronic Warfare (EW) and Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), the former of which included two years in National Defense Headquarters (NDHQ) Ottawa, in the Directorate of Electronic Warfare (DEW)?

Alan Harrison is also a strong supporter of Pride events and LGBTQ+ agenda. Under his leadership, City Council approved painted crosswalks to show support for the LGBTQ+ community, a decision that sparked controversy and divided the community. He has also supported the Pride parade in town.
In 2026, he stated that the City was committed to repainting the crosswalks as needed. He said that City Council recognizes the importance of building a community where everyone—regardless of race, religion, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation—is welcome and accepted, and that he was thankful a Pride parade would take place that year.
However, he did not mention the thousands of taxpayer dollars spent on these initiatives.

Obviously, neither Harrison, any of the other council members, nor the administration read the study conducted by the American College of Pediatricians, that gender ideology harms children.

What about the quality of drinking water in Salmon Arm, the water restrictions imposed on residents, and the mandatory installation of water meters in Zone 3A, as well as in new residential dwellings and existing properties undergoing plumbing work under the applicable servicing bylaw?
Is this really about water conservation? We have a huge lake right on our doorstep. Or is it more about money and control over our water usage and what we have to pay for it?
And we can go on and on, citing examples such as the forced removal of cedar hedges on 8th Avenue NE, where a retired teacher spent $3,000 to have a hedge removed from city property in front of her house.
Not to mention that, according to the City of Salmon Arm’s 2025 Annual Report, nearly $94 million is held in long-term investments, yet the City has refused to disclose any further information about these investments—all while property taxes and utility rates continue to rise year after year.
By my observation, study, and research, British Columbia has not had mayors who truly represent their communities for decades. Instead, we have had spokespeople for bureaucratic administrations that follow agendas that may not reflect the priorities of local residents.
Climate-related policies, including water restrictions affecting residents and farmers, the rollout of 5G, LGBTQ+ issues, forced vaccination, massive immigration, and a new BC Building Code reportedly awaiting approval after the election, are among the many issues that, in my view, deserve closer public scrutiny. I see these as pieces of a much bigger picture concerning the direction in which our communities are heading.
Do you want to continue following the same trends, or do you want to change direction and put people and our communities first?
I am offering you my enthusiasm, energy, hard work, and experience gained from working and living in various countries and across different fields, backed by critical thinking and an open mind.
The choice is yours. Check my platform and choose wisely.
