Dedicated leadership for Salmon Arm...
Marianne VanBuskirk is running for City Council on October 17, 2026. Discover her community-centred vision which focuses on sustainable growth, responsible governance, open dialogue, and common sense.
A clear plan for our community...
Every decision at City Council must reflect the voices and needs of our residents. Salmon Arm's current Mayor, Council, and Staff have served our region well, and I look forward to working alongside returning incumbents and newly-elected representatives. Please explore the core pillars shaping my campaign for a thriving Salmon Arm.
A quick glimpse of Marianne's key priorities...
Sustainable Growth
Expanding at a steady, manageable rate that our infrastructure can support over the long term without causing financial or environmental harm.
Responsible Governance
Ensuring transparent operations, open spending records, and clear policies so taxpayers can hold their elected council fully accountable.
Open Dialogue
Fostering genuine collaboration across citizens, local businesses, Rightsholders, and city council through constructive exchanges.
Common Sense - and what about Homelessness?
Demonstrating that practical knowledge, sound judgment, and experiences are present in all decisions. For example, how can we use common sense to address homelessness?
"Marianne brings the integrity, energy, and community spirit Salmon Arm needs on Council. She listens closely and delivers practical solutions."
