Keith Fielding is seeking a 3rd term as mayor or Peachland

Keith Fielding is seeking a third term as mayor of Peachland.

Fielding, who has served the last six years as mayor, says it has been a great honour to have served as Peachland's mayor and hopes to have the chance to serve four more years.

"I am proud of the accomplishments of the two Councils I have had the privilege of leading and wish to continue to a third term in order to bring my knowledge and experience to the task of ensuring that Peachland remains a healthy, caring and vibrant community where growth is managed effectively and a prosperous, sustainable future can be assured," says Fielding.

Prior to being elected mayor, Fielding was president of the Peachland Wellness Centre and chair of the Senior's Housing Steering Committee.

Fielding is being challenged by Bruce Letendre, a 24-year resident of the community.

Letendre, who recently resigned as president of the Highway 97 Task Force Society to run for mayor, says it's costing Peachlanders too much for a town our size.

"The structure and salaries of the administration has to be adjusted," says Letandre.

The deadline for filing nomination papers is 4 p.m. Friday.

Voters go to the polls Saturday, Nov 15.
