# Platform — Rafiullah Sahibzada for Williams Lake City Council

Draft — every position below is a starting point pending the candidate's review and sign-off, not final campaign policy.

## Safety downtown, with treatment that actually exists

Accountability for repeat offenders and a real treatment and recovery centre in Williams Lake — voluntary and involuntary care — so the cycle has somewhere to end. Then employment support after treatment, so recovery holds.

## Keep post-secondary in Williams Lake

The Thompson Rivers University campus closure decision lands in December 2026, weeks after the new council is sworn in. Show up with a plan, not a general statement of support.

## Seniors on fixed incomes

Programs to assist elderly residents, many of whom are living on insufficient retirement and pension income.

## A fourth priority

Reserved for whatever he's hearing at the door that isn't covered above. Not filled in yet — intentionally left blank rather than guessed.
