Stephen Foster for District 9

Updated map, only one run left to go! I thought it made sense to finish things off on election day, at the iconic Dingle Tower. I've had an amazing time #runningindistrict9. Don't forget to get out there and vote tomorrow if you haven't already!

What with it being Thanksgiving and all, and with the campaign starting to wind down this week, now seems like a good time to look back on the past couple months, and reflect on how things have gone. When I started this whole endeavour, I really had no idea what I was getting myself into. I knew that I wanted to help make Halifax a better place to live in, and I believed that I could really do that if given a chance. But I didn't know the first thing about politics, or about ...running a campaign. Now, after a whirlwind couple of months spent canvassing, and answering emails, and responding to surveys, I find that...well, I still don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to politics and campaigning. But man, has it been an amazing experience. My time spent campaigning has only reaffirmed my belief that Halifax is one of the best places to live in the world, and that District 9 is one of the best places to live in Halifax. I've been able to meet and talk with so many amazing new people, and also reconnect with some people I hadn't talked to for years. And I've been able to really get to know the district in a way I simply couldn't before - the one thing that's struck me during my time "running" in the district has been how many beautiful neighbourhoods there are tucked away in areas you wouldn't expect. I also have to say that I've been truly touched by the outpouring of support that I've gotten throughout the campaign. From people offering to put up signs, to the work done by my amazingly dedicated volunteers, it's really been a humbling experience. All I can say is that if I am elected, I'm going to put in the work required to make sure that your votes don't go to waste. To sum up: I'm thankful to live in an amazing city like Halifax, and I'm thankful for all the support that I've received. Win or lose, I'll have no regrets about my decision to run, or about how I've run my campaign. You rock, District 9. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Great run today around Herring and Purcell's Cove Roads! I now have Chocolate Lake surrounded. Expecting its surrender soon. #runningindistrict9
