VOTE JOHN DACOMBE FOR COURTENAY COUNCIL

About John Dacombe

I have lived all over North America and traveled over much of the world, and in my experience the Comox Valley is one of the best places in one of the best nations on the planet.

Career

I spent the bulk of my career in the Regular Canadian Forces and then the federal government, but I worked many other poorly paid jobs first, so I know what it’s like to have to choose between paying the rent and buying groceries.

Education

Besides military courses and training, I have a BA (Honours) History (Summa Cum Laude) from the University of Ottawa.

Relevant Volunteering

I’ve lived full-time in Courtenay since 2021 and am active in my community: I’m a member of many non-profits, was a Director on the Board of the Comox Valley Land Trust until I stepped down when I decided to run, a member of the Comox Valley Sewer Service Liquid Waste Management Plan advisory committee from 2024-2026, and was Editor-in-Chief of The Puntledge News, the Comox Valley’s #1 (ok, only) satire news site (over 40 million views!), from 2022-2026.

Politics

Politically, I’m a moderate, neither left nor right, and do not belong to any parties, movements or slates.

I respect anyone from across the political spectrum who has reasoned, informed, fact-based policy positions.

If you are a City of Courtenay voter and you want to discuss issues that affect this city and its residents and taxpayers, drop me an email.

I am always eager to speak to fellow residents who have realistic, cost-effective ideas to make our community better.
