Kirk Allison is the 18th and final candidate running for City Council.

He is the owner of a TapSnap Phototainment franchise as well as a part-time driver for Swift Transit.

Allison says he hopes to use his business experience to help council manage their budget.

"I grew up on a farm near Gull Lake and I've lived 26 of that last 33 years here," Allison said. "I just want to give back to the community I enjoy living in."

Allison wants to help the city he calls home, if elected.

"I don't want to in any way imply that there's a problem with our fiscal accountability or management. It's a concern, I have a financial administrative background and having running businesses myself, It's definitely something I feel I have an eye for. We have to stay on top of it, nobody likes debt, sometimes it necessary we just have to manage it," he said.   

Kirk and the 17 other candidates will be at the Sky Centre on October 5th for an all-candidates forum.
