“For ten years I have watched Alan Nixon on Council, and worked with him on a number of local committees. I believe I am qualified to say that he is tireless and persistent when acting as a Councillor and really listens to his constituents. He is prepared to speak his mind. I shall have no hesitation in voting for him again.” D.H.B.Munro – Norgate Resident
“Based on recent events, Mr. Nixon personally hired a room and chaired a meeting with aplomb under difficult circumstances with over 80 disgruntled dog owners in attendance. He listened, he acted with quick follow-up, and continued to carry through with his promises obtaining a satisfactory solution to the problem raised by the citizens. Mr. Nixon was approachable, listened, understood the problem, promised action, and followed through in dedicated manner so as to bring about the promised solutions.” Brock Croome, Deep Cove area resident.
“Alan works hard for the welfare of the whole District. He has a track record of being informed on local issues, understanding the range of opinions from all sides and promoting neighbourhood solutions.” Peter Thompson – Upper Capilano Resident
“At critical moments for the progress and positive change in our community Alan has stepped forward with a voice of experience couched in principle and insight. His personal involvement and willingness to speak out on issues has been important in starting to move the DNV into a viable future.” Douglas Curran – Lions Gate resident
“Alan is a very approachable, strong independent voice on council, and has proven to challenge council, even when he is clearly outnumbered, to consider all viewpoints to ensure council decisions are equitable. As a long time, nearly 40 years, resident of the North Shore, I offer full support to re-elect Alan.”
Kuldip Purewal – Lynn Valley resident
“…it is important that Councillors be willing to listen to, and engage with residents, explore multiple solutions, and truly be involved in the community at a “grassroots level”. They have to understand what a community truly needs. In my personal experience this describes Councillor Nixon. He has been instrumental in helping my neighbourhood explore current issues, and in providing an environment where all residents have the opportunity to express their own opinions, and have their voices heard.” Jamie Leigh, District of North Vancouver Resident
“On committee service with Alan, I found that he always took a measured and well considered approach to evaluating problems and encouraged a collaborative and inclusive approach to working towards solutions. As a Counselor, I have found him approachable, attentive to concerns and willing to support without reservation those initiatives he assesses to be for the greater good of the community.”
R. G. Cameron, P. Eng.
Former Chair, Transportation Planning Advisory Committee
“It gives me great pleasure to recommend Councillor Alan Nixon for a new term on the District of North Vancouver’s Council.
Over the past two or more years, our community of Lower Capilano has grappled with many complex, often contentious, issues concerning local neighbourhood zoning, development and traffic. In the process, Councillor Nixon has widened and expanded our awareness of such issues, especially regarding different perspectives of social and humanistic community planning and development.
On various occasions, Councillor Nixon has freely given of his time and energy to us in an effort to mediate and assist Lower Capilano Community’s residents and resident association to resolve our concerns and differences, for which our community is much appreciative.
Councillor Nixon clearly is deeply concerned and committed to the protection and preservation of the beauty, peace and tranquility of our District’s important part of the North Shore and, as such, deserves to continue as an invaluable asset to the way of life that we all have come to cherish.”
Jerome Irwin
Founding President
Lower Capilano Community Residents’ Association
“As a resident of the District and a participant in many Council advisory boards and committees, I have found Councillor Nixon to be insightful as to the the underlying issues and forthright in bringing forward constructive solutions. He is not afraid to represent the majority interest in the face of the few and consults widely with District residents! I have no hesitation in supporting his candidacy for relection as a District of North Vancouver Councillor.” Lee Gavel - Resident of Lynn Valley
“When we contacted Councillor Nixon with a concern regarding District procedures he was open, empathetic and responsive. He helped us to have our voices heard by the right people. He is down-to-earth and approachable by regular community folks like us. He really cares!” – Amanda Brown
“No Councillor on the North Shore spends more time with his constituents…listening to their concerns…than Alan Nixon. Issues facing council these days, and their solutions, are highly nuanced. Councillor Nixon’s experience and insight always enrich the debate . His beacon is consistently Community Benefit and his votes on council reflect that.” Steve Jones
