A total of 142 residents and business owners in Port Coquitlam signed up last month to be on the new mayor’s citizen advisory roundtable.

And, this week, Mayor Brad West announced the 17 candidates selected to have a voice at the table.

The volunteers, who will meet with West and city staff up to four times a year to talk about city policy, projects and other topics, have a range of backgrounds.

They are: Miko Anderson, Tracy London, Courtney Catterall, Nicole Owen, You-Ching Cheng, Paige Petriw, Janine Davies, Andrew Richards, James Filippelli, Royce Shook, Jeremy Freeman, Sean Walker, Joshua Gair, Kate Woochuk, Judy Kuse, Brian Wormold and Nick Young.

Their appointments replace the citizen advisor positions on council committees, which have since been abolished. Last fall, West handed each city councillor a specific community portfolio to work on.

The term for the roundtable advisors is one year, with the option to renew.
