MLA Day calling for newly elected local MPs to work on “key priorities” for Comox Valley

With the federal election wrapped up, Courtenay-Comox’s MLA is calling for collaboration between all levels of government. 

Brennan Day congratulated newly elected MPs Gord Johns and Aaron Gunn and is now looking forward to working with them to address local priorities and build a stronger future for the Comox Valley. 

Day said elections can be divisive but with votes now counted, the real work is now beginning. 

“The people of Courtenay-Comox expect action.  I am committed to working with anyone, regardless of political stripe, to deliver results for our region.” 

Day wants a purpose-built replacement for the local RCMP detachment, saying the current one is outdated and undersized, and wants to find a permanent base for Comox Valley Ground Search and Rescue. 

Day added public transit and recreational facilities need upgrades, more support for small businesses, and protecting key sectors like forestry and agriculture. 

While healthcare is a provincial responsibility, Day said he wants a meaningful federal partnership to help address long-term care shortages and staffing challenges. 

Lastly, Day hopes for continued support towards the K’ómoks First Nation and their final steps to finalizing their treaty ratification.
