My name is Kyron Coombes, but Ky works just fine. I proudly hail from Glace Bay, Nova Scotia. A university graduate with a BA with a specialty in Political Science and pursuing a BEd at Cape Breton University (CBU), I am embarking on a new venture as a candidate for Councillor in District 9.

My professional journey includes a 7-year career as a hockey referee, an experience that has honed my sense of fairness, quick decision-making, and a commitment to upholding standards. As a hockey referee, I officiated all levels of hockey ranging from U7 to U18aa officiating regular season and playoff hockey. While off the ice, I serve as the Vice-Chair of the CBRM Heritage Advisory Committee, allowing me to immerse myself in the preservation and progression of our community’s rich history.

Over the last three years, I’ve had the privilege of working at the Cape Breton Miners Museum, where I honed new skills, interacted with the public, and delved into the rich history of our miners. Simultaneously, I passionately pursued my hobby as a technology enthusiast, improving the wireless internet infrastructure and providing IT support when needed.

I am a firm believer that everyone should have affordable access to the internet. This conviction led me to establish Coastal Wireless, a company dedicated to delivering fast, affordable, and reliable internet connectivity to underserved communities. Although my company’s ultimate goal has not yet been achieved, my unwavering commitment to advocating for the community remains steadfast.

In my pursuit, I embody the principles of honesty, hard work, and a profound dedication to enacting meaningful change. When it comes to my studies or employment I keep true to my word. Our community deserves more and I want to be able to provide that. My election promises are based on this one quote:

“If elected, I would be 1 out of 13 members in those chambers. I only make promises I can keep, and the only promise I can make is, I will fight tooth and nail for change.”
