Chief White & I connected on Thanksgiving evening on facebook, before I even announced for Mayor. Not only was it Thanksgiving - it was his birthday. The actual conversation is interesting but I think this is more significant, permission to share the fact that I do acknowledge and respect Snuneymuxw. Newcastle Island is first and foremost their domain. I just want to help.

- Good day Doug - I hope you got my phone message. I really want to share our Thanksgiving conversation. I see no downside, I see just upside. I see respect given & taken. Am I missing something?

- Hello Jim,
You can say that you did contact me and that I support the idea of a bridge to Newcastle to enable more citizens to visit the island.
I was contacted by Ron Bolin the other day, who is a family friend, and I let him know that I had talked to you because he was expressing concern that you had not. I told him there is no reason to be concerned, but that I very much appreciated you honouring our discussion that Snuneymuxw was not yet ready to discuss this matter publicly. But if you are taking a hit for not talking to me, then you should let ppl know that you have.
best,
Doug
