“Former Mayor Barry Janyk was a strong leader who advocated for smart growth planning and the environment in an era before other people were talking about it. Gibsons was tied in with the smart growth work of Patrick Condon at UBC. And we were looking at models for climate change and sea level rise back when I was CAO. This community has continued to be a leader. The work of Councils and staff since 2011 in the area of natural assets is a continuation of the work started by Mayor Barry Janyk and others,” stated current Mayor Bill Beamish.
