Testimonials & Endorsements

“

I am a physician serving our community for the past seven years, across the spectrum of age and socioeconomic backgrounds in both the clinic and hospital setting. I see firsthand the ongoing neglect of our city leaders to address the foundational components of health that foster thriving, robust, connected communities. It is time for change. I have had the honour of working with Marnie across many domains; I can say confidently that our city would benefit immensely from having Marnie’s experience, fierce advocacy, and compassion at the table. I am proud to endorse Marnie Boers for Nanaimo City Councillor.

“

Having volunteered beside Marnie for the last four years, I have seen her managing very stressful situations with calm, compassionate competence. She not only works and raises her family, but also uses her time and many skills to support members of our community who are in need, attributes that I believe our city leaders need to have. Marnie has the youth, foresight and knowledge to work towards a better Nanaimo for all citizens.

I have had the pleasure of working side by side with Marnie in the Nanaimo Emergency Department for the last 4 years. She is hard-working, diligent, efficient, compassionate, kind, and an exceptional teammate. She clearly cares deeply for her patients, her colleagues, and her community. I would happily work with her in any capacity and am confident she would be a dedicated and exceedingly capable City Councillor.

I have known Marnie for over 20 years. She has been a childhood friend, and we went through elementary school and high school together.

To know Marnie is to know someone who is incredibly organized, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about the people around her. Even from a young age, she naturally stepped into leadership roles. She was someone who made sure everyone felt included, heard, and welcome.

Having known Marnie for so many years, I have seen firsthand the values she carries with her and the way she shows up for her community. I truly believe those values align with what Nanaimo needs, and that she would be a thoughtful, organized, and dedicated voice for our community.

I am proud to support Marnie Boers and believe she would be an incredible asset to Nanaimo City Council.

I am a local business owner, and I have had the privilege of working with Marnie several times. Her exemplary reputation precedes her; I had heard of the work she does well before I met her from other clients who appreciate her efforts locally. Her heart & compassion resound in the community. From my own experiences with her, hearing her enthusiasm for positive impact first hand and her admired advocacy from trusted peers, I wholeheartedly endorse Marnie Boers for Nanaimo City Councillor. She is exactly the type of person our city needs in those seats.
