Testimonials

Keith is one of my favourite people in local government. His distinctive humour and relaxed approach make working with him a joy. An effective communicator, unafraid even of Facebook trolls, he has shown leadership and collaborative spirit throughout all interactions I’ve had with him.

Cyra Yunkws — Councillor / RD Chair, Warfield, RDKS

Keith is a down to earth and really kind human. He is extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of government and how the processes work. He cares about community, housing and environmental issues. He strongly supports minorities and always speaks up for the underdog. Having Keith in your corner is having someone who won’t give up, who will seek out answers, and who won’t just agree with the masses. Driven, a life long learner and someone who truly listens.

Heather Stack — Nelson Fire Rescue, Nelson

I’ve found Keith Page to be someone who cares deeply about our community and is willing to work hard for its betterment. Keith’s aptitude for understanding complex issues and balancing competing demands are assets.

Kate Tait — Councillor / Department Head, Nelson

Working with Councillor Page on Greater Nelson Economic Development has been a pleasure. He is passionate about his community, committed to delivering results, and brings creativity to a diverse range of projects. His dedication and hands-on approach make him a valuable partner in driving meaningful progress. Keith would be great for our region, as he understands the needs of rural communities.

Andrea Wilkey — Executive Director, Community Futures Central Kootenays

I’ve always been struck by how much Keith cares about his community. As a Town Council member, he often takes a balanced and well-reasoned approach at solving complex problems facing the community. He’s also just a great guy.

Germán Darío — School District No. 6 Rocky Mountain, Radium

Keith Page is dedicated and engaged. He brings a thoughtful approach to the issues that matter to our region. His commitment to the Kootenays and focus on practical solutions make him a strong advocate.

Kyle Hamilton — Councillor, Fernie

I have had the opportunity to get to know Keith through local, municipal government, as well as a fellow business owner in Nelson. I have been consistently impressed by Keith’s consistent and ongoing commitment to engage in core value concepts that are now crisis level concerns for many people in the Kootenays: the lack of affordable housing, and the complex consideration needed to understand the connections between housing and the challenges the vulnerable in our communities with addiction face. This, along with the pressing reality of the climate crisis, necessitates bold and innovative planning and energy. Both in writing and in person, he has always spoken to these complex issues with concrete ideas by proposing innovation and community focussed solutions. I say this because he takes the time to talk to the people in his communities face to face.

Jennifer Beare — Kootenay Crate, Nelson

I’ve always known Keith Page to be a strong, progressive voice of reason. His exceptional ability to communicate issues clearly and objectively, always basing his arguments on the facts on the ground, sets him apart. Keith is open to listening to a diverse range of opinions, finding common ground where it can be found, and sifting through the cacophony of information that politicians are often presented with to deliver workable solutions to complex problems.

Sean Ryan — Retired, Nelson

In what seems to be an ever more polarized political landscape, Keith displays a strong commitment to hearing and understanding all aspects of the issues. He manages to maintain focus on an ideology that includes better environmental stewardship, equality of opportunity, and compassion for those in his community, while remaining rooted in the sometimes stark reality we live in on a daily basis. Finding a balance between our stated ideals and the real-world steps needed to achieve them is a skill that is often neglected in our society. I believe that given the chance, Keith will work hard to represent the unique position and needs of the Kootenay region.

Gerald Cordeiro — Forestry Worker, Tarrys

I’ve been very fortunate to work with Keith Page on local governance boards and appreciate the thoughtful and dedicated advocacy he brings for the Kootenays and British Columbia.

Pete Fry — Councillor, City of Vancouver

What has always struck me about Keith is how carefully he listens to people, how thoroughly he researches issues, and how much time he dedicates to serving the community to the best of his ability. I have every confidence that if Keith is at the table and part of the conversation, whatever the issue at hand will be better for it.

Abra Brynne — Kootenay Columbia Green Party candidate 2020, Central Kootenays

Keith engages constantly and courageously with his constituents via regular channels and on social media, explaining complex issues with patience and respect.

I have known Keith Page for almost two decades. In that time he has proven himself to be a reliable and trustworthy friend that has always been there for others. Not only have we become close friends over time, but he has also given me employment opportunities over the years that have helped me immensely. During those times he has been a compassionate employer that always responded to my enquiries with patience and understanding. I have always trusted Keith’s judgment when it comes to the decision making process that protects and supports the needs of everyone.
