Dermot Hutton's Oliver Council Campaign Focuses on Water Infrastructure and Youth Opportunities

Times Chronicle reports on Dermot Hutton's campaign goals for Oliver council, including addressing water infrastructure and youth opportunities.

Dermot Hutton, a business owner and farmer with ties to the community, is running for Oliver council. According to Times Chronicle (https://www.timeschronicle.ca/water-youth-and-year-round-growth-top-huttons-agenda), his campaign focuses on addressing water infrastructure and youth opportunities.

Hutton aims to improve life for younger residents, inspired by his son's experiences. He also plans to promote a stay-and-ski package connecting Oliver with Mount Baldy accommodations, and install water meters to monitor agricultural use.

However, Hutton acknowledges the cost of installing water meters and faces challenges in attracting year-round businesses and revitalizing downtown areas.
