Guy Verna is hoping to represent Saint John as one of its two councillors at large.
He says the city needs more affordable housing, and he’d work with the province and building owners to try and improve Saint John’s housing stock.
In a candidate forum last week, Verna said the city also needs to work with the province on property tax.
He also voiced his support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community, saying if elected he’d create a committee to improve feedback opportunities for that community. ); } return false; }); $( #comments .commentlist .comment-content a ).attr( target , blank );

Saint John Newcomers Centre s first Black History month screening, Kenbe la, jusqu à la victoire (Kenbe La, Until We Win) (submitted)
The Saint John Newcomers Centre hosted its first viewing party of films celebrating black culture on Zoom in honor of Black History Month on Friday.
The films will be streamed every Friday throughout February and alternate between in French and English-language audio, with respective subtitles, in support of the Newcomer Centre’s Francophone partners ARCf Saint-Jean, the Francophone School District South and Le Réseau en immigration francophone du Nouveau-Brunswick.
“The majority of the Black History Month events are happening in English so we thought it would be a great opportunity to highlight some of the Francophone films that are out there that highlight Black culture,” says Senior Communications Specialist Emily MacMackin.
