JOE POWER

Labrador West

Joe Power is a longtime resident of Labrador West, moving here over 30 years ago. From Mortier, NL, Joe is one of twelve born to a fishing captain and stay-at-home mom. Joe raised his family in Labrador West after moving here to work with the Department of Forestry. Joe continued his career as a lifelong public servant when he joined the Labrador City Fire Department, making his way through the ranks from Firefighter to Inspector, up to Chief, a role he held for 13 years. Joe played a major role in fighting the 2013 forest fires that affected Labrador West as a member of the Emergency Operations Centre. As a former coach and director with minor sport in Labrador West, and as a dedicated volunteer with initiatives and organizations including Toys for Joys, and the Ministerial Association, Joe understands the importance of community and giving back to Labrador West. This campaign is a crucial turning point for everyone in Labrador West.

Like many residents, I have seniors in my family who deserve to age in place and not have to be pushed out of our community to live. Creating seniors housing, reducing the cost of living, making healthcare and medivac services more affordable, and securing the resources required to protect our region from forest fires are the priorities most important to me.
