Mauro pledges action around mobility, seniors as he launches council bid

KAMLOOPS — The race for one of the eight seats around the horseshoe at Kamloops City Hall is beginning to take shape as more people signal their intention to run for council. 

Joe Mauro will be tossing his hat into the ring for councillor, stating his support for the Performing Arts Centre, though he also highlighted priorities around seniors and mobility.

“Our sidewalks and I talked to (business association) a few times, they are brutal, they are hard to get around with walkers and canes, wheelchairs you are constantly getting rattled,” Mauro told CFJC News. “And all they do, instead a little bit at a time replacing them. I’m a construction guy, a little bit at a time, replace it, don’t grind it, you’re grinding and grinding it, it doesn’t make it any better.”
