Lutz Stelzner
Resident of Oliver since June of 2016
Seeks support for election as Town Councillor.
” I was retired and it appeared that Oliver had great weather, great fishing and great people.”
” Oliver truly is a great place to live.”
” I guess one of the reasons that I wish to run for City Council is that I have a desire to help in some capacity and that I may help to effect change for the people of Oliver.
A former member of the Canadian Forces : ” During my time in the military I received a generals commendation for my dedication to duty during the M109 rebuild project and a Canadian decoration for 12 years of dedicated service.”
Lutz is reluctant to speak of disability. He suffers from Multiple Sclerosis.
In Toronto this summer he and partner David Dallin won two silver medals in the “Invictus” Games – tandem cycling – one for time trial and one for the Criterum.
” I have the energy and the ability to do the whole job as Invictus was not easy. It took a lot of work.”
” As for changes and improvements to Oliver – I would need to review the projects, planning etc. before taking a position on that.”
