At the center of it all is the town’s mayor Dave Bylsma, a 30-year veteran of local politics.
Mayor Bylsma is a member of the local Presbyterian Church. He and his wife Sylvia have nine children and he is a member of the pro-family, anti-abortion Christian Heritage Party.
“I didn’t hide my political affiliations,” says Bylsma. “My constituents voted for me knowing full well about my Christian views.”
Bylsma has been branded a homophobe and a bigot, and is facing calls to resign, over comments he made on a radio program where he discussed LGBTQ issues, Indigenous issues and Black Lives Matter.
