“What I bring to council will be a cautioning attitude. Working in oil and gas always doing what’s best, not just for shareholders, but the environment. Having a holistic view of everything we do. That’s what we need as we reset our city.”
Dhaliwal is excited to be part of a diverse new council where they can work to make everyone feel welcome.
