For me - Politics is Personal!
What does that mean? It means I care about you. Personally. I want to learn your stories, your situation. Over the last 8 years of my service on Council, every single vote, I have had citizens I have met and heard from on my mind. So please! Reach out! Get to know me too!

Solutions that meet the needs of all the residents of North Vancouver”.

"I’m happy to support Betty Forbes in this election.
Betty genuinely cares about people. She listens, she notices what’s going on around her, and when she says she wants to help, she means it. That’s who she is.
Bringing common sense to everything she does, Betty is thoughtful and practical. She isn’t afraid to ask the right questions or have the conversations that need to happen. She doesn’t need to be the loudest voice in the room; she’s someone who will listen, consider different perspectives, and work toward what makes sense for our community.
I’m proud to call Betty a friend, and I’m very happy to support her in this election. I truly believe she will continue doing a great job for our community."
Heather Walker

She has a passion for her community, and has always been involved on many committees and organizations, presently as a councillor for the District of North Vancouver. I have had the great pleasure of having gotten to know her and I know her to be the following;
• With her life experience, has a clear understanding of the challenges, requirements, and needs of all age groups and abilities.
• Betty is a great communicator with genuine and sincere compassion and concern for others. She always responds quickly and engages with the community.
• If she doesn’t know she does the research and finds out.
• Prioritizes and understands that proper infrastructure is required prior to growth.
• She is a professional accountant with a thorough understanding of what it means to be fiscally responsible and accountable.
• She has no hidden agendas or political aspirations other than serving the community.
For the above reasons, I fully support and endorse Betty Forbes for her third term as councillor for the municipality of the District of North Vancouver in the upcoming Municipal election."

"Some years back I served with Betty Forbes on a committee to review the OCP and was impressed by her knowledge and love of her community. I found her to be hard working, tenacious, extremely honest and sincere. She is also a good listener and as a fourth generation North Vancouverite she is fully
aware of the issues that the residence of North Vancouver are grappling with. I believe [another] term for Betty Forbes as a Councilor will be beneficial to this community."
