Sarai announces run for third term at Kamloops city hall

KAMLOOPS — Incumbents Nancy Bepple, Dale Bass and now Bill Sarai have all announced their intentions of seeking another term on city council.

For Sarai, who announced his bid for a third term in front of supporters on Thursday (May 14) morning, he said it comes down to wanting to see more projects get across the finish line, including Build Kamloops and work out at the airport.

“Priority one is involuntary and voluntary care, that has to be the number one priority and we brought it up to (Health) Minister (Josie) Osborne at SILGA in Revelstoke. We had long discussions about people’s rights,” said Sarai. “And I will argue back, I will challenge people’s rights. I think people who are struggling and are a safety hazard to themselves and their community… I think we are giving them their rights back to them by helping them”
