David Murray Announces Endorsement of John Becker for Mayor
Pitt Meadows – September 11, 2014 – Today David Murray
announced his formal endorsement of John Becker’s candidacy for the
position of Mayor of Pitt Meadows.
David said, “I supported John for Mayor in 2011. I recognized then that John has tremendous leadership skills and he is a great facilitator.”
David reflected on the past three years and observed “ I have been part of a divided Council and that just doesn’t work. I believe that John truly understands that Councillors and citizens have voices that deserve to be heard. That said it is also important that when the meetings are over and Council makes its decision, everyone should respect each others opinion and realize that they are simply trying to do the best for Pitt Meadows.”
David described John as a leader who “would not let things fester, he would bring people together to air their concerns in an open and respectful way.”
David says he is looking forward to working with and learning with John’s leadership. “ I know that John doesn’t have to be at the front of every photo opportunity nor hoard committee assignments. John will be a great mentor for all Councillors.”

Standing Up For Pitt Meadows
Hello Mr. Murray,
I just wanted to let you know how happy I am, as a Pitt Meadows
resident, to know that you are standing up for Pitt Meadows. The last
thing we need is a "SmartCentre" here. One reason my husband and I moved
to Pitt Meadows and love living here is the character
and feeling of a small town. The 'look and feel' is very different from
Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Maple Ridge - to us, there are not
blurred boundaries between these other areas but very distinct lines. We
appreciate the small businesses and the feeling
of being a part of a real community. Smartcentres destroy that - they
turn beautiful farm and country land into concrete parking stretches and
only provide temporary low paid employment. Working at Walmart is not
considered a 'good' job - not even for teenagers.
I am not anti-development, but I do think that we have to be
careful what we allow to happen here in Pitt Meadows so that we don't
lose the special feeling Pitt Meadows holds. I am not happy with the
industrial buildings at the bottom of Harris Road -
nor are my neighbours....had they even been designed
more in keeping with the look of the south Bonson area, we may all feel
differently about them and consequently the businesses within them. I
would hate to see this happen again
- We need to balance the green spaces with the development in a way that makes us all continue to love living here.
Anyway, I am glad to know you are standing firm on
the SmartCenre topic. My family supports you and I we are so glad to
know someone like you is representing Pitt Meadows' interests at City
Hall.
Sincerely,
