Tim Outhit, president and CEO of NovaKnowledge, is running to fill the vacant Bedford seat on Halifax regional council.
Mr. Outhit announced his candidacy this week. The byelection will be decided May 3.
A strong supporter of groups like the Greater Halifax Partnership, Halifax Chamber of Commerce and Fusion Halifax, he said he supports organizations focused on expanding the economy, improving culture and combating demographic challenges.
"On a daily basis, I hear residents of Bedford and HRM asking where is the rink, the ferry, the bypass, the vision and the leaders?
My commitment is to provide leadership and creative action now."
The area’s last councillor, Gary Martin, a former Halifax police officer, died Feb. 10 at age 53 after a battle with cancer.
Advance polls are April 26 and 29.
