Rick Kerr – Why I am running for City Councillor

I retired as a professor from Durham College on June 30. My biggest motivator was in helping students to acquire and to apply the learning which would enable them to succeed in life in their chosen field. I believe my new role as City Councillor will enable me to continue doing what I love to do: to help people and to make a difference in my community.

Rick Kerr – Who I am and what I stand for

I taught ethics in the Police Foundations program at Durham College for 10 years. Being ethical means, “It’s not what you do when people are watching; it’s what you do when they’re not.” My father was with CIBC for 46 years. I grew up with financial accountability. My wife and I own our own home and have no personal debt. I do not like to see taxpayers’ hard-earned money being overspent, and I will work tirelessly to ensure we are getting the fullest value for our tax dollars. I live my life by the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I believe any new policy, procedure, or by-law should follow “The Harm Principle”: Will this action cause harm or potential harm to others? If so, either don’t do it or find an alternative that doesn’t.
