Brian Waters is Quesnel’s first unofficial mayoral candidate.
The political newcomer is running for mayor in the October 2022 municipal election.
“I have a bunch of ideas,” Waters said outside his residence at the Grace Inn, where he claimed he was building a professional UFO prototype. “I want to change things.”
Waters said he has a brain injury and that he has lived off and on in Quesnel for 14 years.
“It’s a nice community,” he said.
As of late Tuesday morning, Sept. 6. Waters was the only mayoral candidate listed by CivicInfo BC.
The nomination period closes at 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, with Friday, Sept. 16, the deadline for candidates to withdraw.
More than 7,800 voters are eligible to elect one mayor and six councillors to Quesnel City Council this year.
