Testimonials
“The times are changing fast, and Ucluelet is changing along with them. Instead of gatekeeping opportunities and fighting that inevitable change, it’s time we have progressive leadership that proactively works to create a better community for all of us here now, and the generations that will follow.
From affordable housing to community resilience, Todd’s campaign gives me hope in a changing world to create a future Ucluelet that actually works for everybody”
- Ross Reid, Environmental Educator, Outdoor Filmmaker“In 2022, Todd came to me with the idea of doing a tattoo flash day to raise money for the Tofino Community Food Initiative. They really took the lead on that event, putting so much time & energy into making sure it ran smoothly, felt fun, and brought people together.
It was such a simple way to support something local, and it ended up inspiring so much more than we could have expected. Since then, we’ve gone on to host a dozen or so flash days, raising thousands of dollars for local non-profits and creating opportunities to connect with other people, businesses, artists, and organizations in our community.
It’s been really special to see that first idea grow, and to see Todd carry that same creativity into other connections and ideas around town.”
- Sara Jones, Owner of SPACE Ukee, Photographer“Since meeting Todd, I have witnessed their integrity shine through in everything they do. They are deeply committed to supporting, uplifting and volunteering for local causes, and where something they’re passionate about doesn’t yet exist in our community, they take steps to create it - including seed bomb block parties and letter writing circles to support queer youth.
Across many different rooms with many different people, I’ve had the privilege of watching Todd interact with kindness and honesty, while still holding true to their values and beliefs - a deeply important trait for someone aspiring to lead our community as mayor.
Todd is a deep and thoughtful listener, which allows them to hold many perspectives and weave through innovative and exciting ideas about the future while balancing the perspectives of a diverse community.
Todd for Mayor!”
- Sully Rogalski, Executive Director, Community Advocate, Musician“Having volunteered alongside Todd on our neighbourhood strata, I’ve had a front-row seat to their approach to leadership. Todd doesn't just talk about community connection. They actively build it, from organizing community events to bring neighbours together to repeatedly standing up at Council to advocate for positive change.
Todd is an exceptional listener, a true collaborator, and someone who brings a fair, balanced perspective to decision-making. I trust Todd to listen to residents and act with our community's best interests in mind.”
- Sarah Gray, Service Design Leader, Community Advocate“Politics and planning are not the easiest topics to navigate. Todd has been a great friend and ear to discuss issues across all levels of government. And, Todd has been a supporter of our business, by developing products and services that help us serve our guests.”
