Sechelt needs a Mayor who can step into the role ready to lead,”
Having served alongside Alton on Council for eight years, I’ve seen firsthand his commitment to our community, his ability to work collaboratively, listen carefully, and act with intention.
I believe Alton is uniquely prepared for the role of mayor. He has the experience, the time, and commitment needed to take on what is a demanding, hands-on job. Sechelt needs a Mayor who can step into the role ready to lead, build relationships, and devote the time necessary to move our community forward.
For me, that person is Alton Toth.
He has my full support for Mayor of Sechelt.

“Over the eight years I've worked with Alton at the SCRD I have been consistently impressed by him -- his integrity, his intelligence, his practical common sense, and his kindness. He's been a pleasure to work with, especially when we disagree, because he always has good reasons, and our discussions lead to better decisions.
It's easy to say that we should all work together more, but it's super difficult to collaborate well inside a political structure that feeds divisiveness. Alton excels at bringing people together to build solutions.”

“Alton knows the Sechelt of yesterday, understands the Sechelt of today, and is dedicated to helping create a vibrant, welcoming Sechelt for tomorrow.”
I’m supporting Alton Toth for Mayor of Sechelt because he brings the qualities I value in a leader: an open mind, sound judgment, a willingness to listen, and the confidence to work collaboratively. His experience provides a substantial foundation for this next role. What stands out to me is his understanding of governance—how to work effectively within the political system, build productive relationships with other governments, and turn community priorities into practical action.

“We've seen first hand his dedication and integrity.”
“We're in support of Alton Toth's campaign for mayor of Sechelt. My husband, Cary, and I have known Alton and his family for many years, and they've always been stand-up people in the community. They volunteer their time for various causes. Alton has been fighting for Sechelt as a leader while serving as a councillor. Alton was born here and is genuinely passionate about serving the people of Sechelt.
Alton has been a valued part of our circle at Aynako. He has helped us get started, lending business knowledge and advice. He has a passion for local businesses.
We've seen first hand his dedication and integrity. We believe he'd bring that same commitment to the mayor's office.”

“Go for the home-grown, community-minded and experienced candidate: Alton Toth”
As a previous local politician, I know it takes the first year or more in office for a newly elected politician to learn what their role and responsibilities are, what you can and can’t do, who the staff are, and how they operate. Having been on the DOS Council and SCRD, Alton is intimately familiar with local issues and local staff. He’s also familiar with the various Provincial and Federal players who have considerable influence on our local affairs. So Alton will be better able to help the many new Council members navigate the issues and make sound decisions for the community.
The most critical attribute of a local politician is their willingness to work as team. “Star” players may have all sorts of bright ideas about what they’d like to accomplish, but are not nearly as effective as team players.
I’m supporting the steady, dependable team player : Alton Toth”

“Local government works best when communities work together, and I’ve seen Alton make that a priority at the SCRD. He brings Sechelt’s perspective to the table, while also recognizing that we are part of a larger region, and that our decisions affect our neighbours. He is prepared to listen, challenge ideas when necessary, and then work collaboratively toward a practical solution. I value that approach and believe it is the kind of leadership our Sunshine Coast communities deserve, and Alton has demonstrated he can deliver.”

“I’m proud to personally endorse Alton Toth for Mayor of Sechelt.
I’ve come to know Alton as someone who genuinely cares about our community. He listens, works hard, brings people together, and believes economic development should create good local jobs, support local businesses, and build opportunity for everyone.
Most importantly, Alton leads with integrity, respect and heart. He believes there is far more about Sechelt that unites us than divides us.
That’s the kind of leadership Sechelt needs, and why Alton has my full support for Mayor.”
Donna Bell
Sechelt Councillor
2022 - 2026
“Today, I am proud to announce that I am endorsing Alton Toth for Mayor of Sechelt. The last eight years, serving as a District of Sechelt Council member and time on the SCRD Board has prepared him for this challenging role. His strong critical thinking skills are outstanding, demonstrating his ability to analyze complex data, weigh options, assess risks and make informed decisions that serve the best interest of our community. He understands the budgeting process and comprehends the long-term taxation and budget consequences of financial proposals and decisions.
Alton embraces the value of building strong relationships and has built mutually respectful relationships with our team, with staff, with the greater community, with our neighbors the Shishalh Nation and all levels of government, municipally, federally, and provincially.
He is deeply rooted in Sechelt and is devoted to this community and in a time where compassionate and conscientious leadership is more vital than ever, I hope you will consider joining me in voting for Alton Toth, as Mayor of Sechelt.”
