Over the past seven years Brad has been to Council Chambers to discuss a number of important issues.  In most cases he was successful in convincing Council to support recommendations and projects, such as the moratorium on uranium mining in Nova Scotia.

His conservation work has enabled him to work with government ministers and forest company managers, gaining a great deal from these experiences.  In addition to working well with people, he has learned the importance of negotiation and compromise.

Brad believes we are all very fortunate to live in such a diverse municipal community and looks forward to the challenges of such an area with the added opportunity of new people and businesses coming to the area.

In 2001 Brad formed the Kaizer Meadow Brook Preservation Group in an effort to protect the forest around Kaizer Meadow and the Bog Lake area.  Since 2003 Brad and a group of citizens have been managing Card Lake Park.  In 2004 the Kaizer Meadow Brook Preservation Group was disbanded and Brad was asked to become Conservation Director for the Friends of Nature Conservation Society.

Brad is also an original member of the Chester Municipal Heritage Society and believes that heritage is very important to this Municipality, especially for tourism.  He also feels that the Municipality’s history, as part of Nova Scotia’s South Shore, has always been an important part of who we are. Brad feels that preservation of our historical landmarks is integral. He has spent many hours planting trees and restoring the wetland at Lordly Park, which is adjacent to the Lordly House, a heritage property in Chester.
