Thank you, Area L! I’m honoured to have been elected as your next Director and grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me.
To everyone who supported me, offered encouragement and helped along the way, thank you. I also want to recognize everyone who stepped forward as a candidate. Engaging in this process takes commitment and deserves respect.
I look forward to serving all of Area L and working alongside our neighbouring communities to help shape the future of the South Cariboo for our residents, young and old.

My underlying reasons to step up for our community, to lead by example, to help shape our future, to carry on traditions, to get involved.
This is what it's all about! I am concerned about how things are going to look for our next generations and I'd like them to know I didn't sit idly by. This is who I stand in gratitude for on this Thanksgiving! ❤️

RUNNING IS ONE THING. DOING THE JOB IS ANOTHER.
Over the past several weeks, and quite frankly years, I've spent a lot of time listening, attending meetings and getting around our communities.
And all of this comes back to one of the biggest reasons I'm running.
I believe Area L residents deserve visible representation, and I don't believe we've had enough of it.
Through my conversations with residents, it's become clear to me that many people don't even realize they live in Area L, and many more don't know who their current Director is. There is an education and communication piece to this position that matters. Residents should know who represents them, what the CRD does, what decisions are being made and how those decisions affect them.
There is a need to get out into our communities. Visit local businesses. Attend meetings, dinners, fundraisers and community events. Volunteer. Ask questions, listen and understand what's happening throughout Area L. Residents shouldn't always have to go looking for their Director.
But visibility alone isn't enough.
Running for Area L Director is one thing. Actually being able to do the job is another.
Anyone asking for this position needs to be honest about their experience and capability, and have the judgment and ability to turn ideas into something that can actually get done, rather than simply contributing to people's frustration.
And facts matter.
Ideas are easy to put forward and accusations are easy to make. But without the facts to back them up, they're just words and, in my opinion, will eventually do a disservice to our area.
You can stand your ground without burning bridges, but you won't get much done without building relationships.

Very grateful for the opportunity to attend the Watch Lake North Green Lake Fire Departments annual general meeting today. For me, it was a full morning of listening and learning with very meaningful takeaways. With over seven decades of fire service in my family the fire departments and first responders are very close to my heart. Great turnout, and happy to have met some fantastic past and present members of the hall and board. This area is in good hands! Thank you for the invite!

Experience matters. So does how you use it.
Area L needs a capable Director who knows how to build strong relationships and when to stand firm. That takes real-world experience, independent judgment, wisdom and the ability to remain respectful, no matter the situation.
One thing I’ve learned in management is that helping others get what they need inspires them to help you. Taking the time to understand each other’s priorities builds respect, cooperation and support for getting things done.
That also means listening carefully and giving everyone’s point of view, in the community and at the table, fair consideration.
Taking a position based on community feedback earns respect.
When everyone around the table knows that position represents the voice of Area L residents, it carries more weight and strengthens the Director’s position.
Coming prepared with facts and practical solutions builds credibility and earns support around the table.
Allegations about private meetings create unnecessary conflict. They can damage working relationships before they even begin, distract from the issues that matter and make it harder to move Area L forward. The focus should be on listening to residents, working constructively with others and delivering practical results.
Insinuations and personal attacks do not help Area L. It is counterproductive and will end up doing our area a disservice. Area L deserves leadership focused on facts, accountability and practical solutions.
How you approach an issue can determine whether you move things forward or set them back.
Vote for visibility. Vote for experience. Vote for positive change.
Vote with confidence. Vote Dan Parker for Area L Director.

Supporting seniors in Area L
When I lost my father two years ago this past June, I immediately became the primary caregiver for my stepmother, who was left alone on their rural property in the Ranchettes.
In the blink of an eye, the support system she had relied on for more than 50 years was gone. She had already lost her driver’s licence after a stroke during the pandemic. Now grief and loneliness were added to her isolation.
My daily round trips of an hour and a half to check on her, take her shopping, get her to doctor’s appointments and hospital visits, and offer some comfort became our new normal. Calling it challenging would be an understatement.
Immediate assistance turned out to be a waiting list.
I give full credit to our Better at Home program for trying their best to help her. Our experience showed me there are still major gaps in support.
As her primary caregiver, I worried all the time. Many of our residents caring for someone at home know what that’s like. What if she slipped on the stairs? What if she left the stove on? And if something happened, what if the emergency room was closed?
I speak from experience!
South Cariboo Better at Home offers help with housekeeping, shopping and transportation. It is delivered locally by 100 Mile District Hospice Society, with provincial funding managed by United Way BC. Fees for some services depend on income.
As director, I will meet with seniors, caregivers and local providers to check coverage, costs and waiting lists across Area L. I will bring specific requests to Interior Health, United Way BC and the province for better access to home support and transportation.
I will also follow up on the CRD’s 100 Mile House Area FireSmart Seniors Assistance Program, intended to help residents reduce wildfire hazards on their properties when they cannot do the physical work themselves. I will monitor how it’s being delivered in Area L and how seniors can access it.
Through the CRD, I will help local groups pursue eligible grants for seniors programs they choose.
People deserve someone they can call, someone willing to get answers and someone who follows through. I will keep residents informed about what is being done and where more work is needed.
Now she is surrounded by the great folks living at Williams Lake Seniors Village and is creating her next chapter.

I have great respect for Donna Barnett and Lorne Doerkson.
You can’t attend a community event run by volunteers in our town without finding Donna Barnett there, working tirelessly to make it a success. I’m not sure what she’s made of, but it should be bottled and sold.
When I’ve reached out to Lorne for advice on challenges facing friends and neighbours, his replies are usually immediate, and more often than not, so are his solutions.
He’s ready to pull for everyone, and I can think of no one better to hold the reins for this province.
That kind of authenticity and compassion is something we’ve yet to see in our leadership. I’m committed to bringing that same effort to Area L, getting the facts right, building relationships and following through for our communities.
