Jayson Zilkie is no stranger to balancing priorities. With two preschoolers, a leadership role in a fast-growing company, and a small business he and his wife operate.
Zilkieâs draw to a seat in council chambers started at home, thinking about the little residents he is raising â primarily their safety and their opportunities. Having spent most of his own life in West Âé¶čAV, he wants to ensure that upcoming generations have everything they need to thrive in the community he loves.
