Frank Bailey grew up on Tugboat Island, located just off the coast of Gabriola Island. Inspired by his father, he became passionate about nature and conservation. Frank moved to Parksville in 2017. You may have encountered Frank through his time spent as a board member with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Vancouver Island, serving the community as a volunteer firefighter with Parksville Fire Rescue, encouraging youth as a youth leader at the Parksville Fellowship Baptist Church, being on the local fundraising committee for the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, or through his volunteering at the Parksville Food Truck Festival. Recently, Frank moved to Nanaimo to assist his father, but he still runs and operates his business in Parksville. Frank remains committed to serving the Parksville community, and he hopes to relocate back to it if elected.

As a local business owner and paramedic, Frank has seen how overdevelopment and unsustainable growth are impacting our community, healthcare, and natural resources. We cannot continue to put the cart before the horse and expect things to keep operating smoothly.

Tourism is a major part of our economy, and protecting our beaches, waterways, and green spaces is paramount for us to continue to attract people to our beautiful city and maintain that small-town feel.

Frank will take a firm stance to ensure that rezoning and development respect and align with our Official Community Plan, ensuring Parksville can be a place of abundance and prosperity for all who work, live, and call Parksville home. Together, we can unite our community, protect nature, and keep Parksville beautiful.
