What led to an Abbotsford CIty Councilor to run. Les Barkman, Abbotsford City Councilor, shared with CIVL what caused him to run in local elections. Barkman says," I ended up working as a roads and sanitations supervisor, looking after snow plowed roads, garbage routes, that kind of thing. Now working on the inside, it's one of those ideas, if I was king for a day, how would I change or make the city a better place".  He adds," I though from being in the inside, I had opportunities there... I though maybe being City Councilor one day would be a better deal."
