A Morden mayoral candidate is basing his campaign on people, commerce, and industry.

Doug Wilson says it's important to put people first, because they are the foundation of a progressive community.


Wilson says he would like to see more recreational activities available for the youth, from an entertainment centre to a pool.


He says middle-aged residents require improvements to existing shopping, infrastructure, and service opportunities.


And for seniors, Wilson says they need support for non-profit assisted living and a personal care home.


Wilson says he was encouraged to run for mayor when he found out no one was likely to challenge incumbent John Wiens.


He says Morden is his home and he wants to contribute to it.
