Why I'm running

White Rock deserves better than the chaos at City Hall.

For too long, infighting and dysfunction have stalled the decisions our community actually needs. Meanwhile our pier still isn't right, the waterfront doesn't feel as safe as it should, and our own kids and seniors can't find a home they can afford.

I'm Chris Shields, and I've spent 10 years leading large organizations, managing real budgets, and bringing people together to get results. I'm running for Mayor to end the chaos and get White Rock working again — for the people who live here.

My Priorities

For the White Rock we deserve

Four clear priorities. A practical plan. A focus on getting things done instead of fighting about them.

  • Improved street lighting
  • A revitalized, accessible pier
  • Real waterfront safety

Housing That Works

  • Housing choices for all
  • Reduced approval timelines
  • Affordability
  • Homelessness solutions
3

Economic Revitalization

  • A thriving waterfront
  • Tourism & events
  • Business attraction
  • Investment & jobs
4

Collaboration & Unity

  • A united council
  • Regional cooperation
  • Strong government relationships
  • White Rock's fair share

Meet Chris

Proven leadership, ready for City Hall.

Chris Shields has called White Rock home for more than sixteen years, and like a lot of us, he believes in this city's future as much as its past.

For 10 years, Chris has been a trusted leader — most recently as Chair of the British Columbia Real Estate Association, where he represented over 26,000 REALTORS® across British Columbia and led a major plan to modernize how the organization works. He's chaired finance and HR committees, managed through tough budgets, and built a career out of getting boards, governments, and communities to agree and move forward.

That's exactly what White Rock needs right now: someone who understands housing, manages money responsibly, and can bring a divided council together to deliver results instead of headlines.

Above all, White Rock is home — where Chris and his partner, Rob, have built their life. He's running because he believes City Hall should lead with respect: “We don't have to always agree, but we must always come from a place of respect.”
