His record as director for the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area comes from the Capital Regional District's own election results and committee minutes. Only motions where the minutes name him are listed.
The minutes record that Director Hicks moved that the committee recommend the regional board introduce and adopt Bylaw No. 3885, the Juan de Fuca Development Fees and Procedures Bylaw, and approve two application policies, one for cannabis retail licences and one for antenna systems. The motion carried.
A committee motion that recommends action to the regional board. The bylaw's title says it sets fees and procedures for development in the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area. voche.me did not open the bylaw text or the board's later decision.
The minutes record that Chair Hicks spoke in support of appointing Wendy Morton as poet laureate for the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area, and that Director Hicks moved the appointment. The motion carried.
A regional arts appointment with no tie to a provincial issue, so this entry earns no score.

The committee considered a resolution asking the Union of British Columbia Municipalities to request that the Province treat the regional district's electoral areas as rural for the BC Home Owner Grant. The minutes say this grant on property tax is larger for people who live in a rural area. Director Hicks moved to add Juan de Fuca to the areas named in the resolution, and the amended resolution carried.

voche.me found no campaign website or social media account of his own on 2026-10-02. The party's candidate page links only to the party's own accounts. Web search tools were limited on this date: the usual search service had no searches left, and two other search pages blocked automated searches after a few tries, so news searches used the Google News feed. The party's candidate page labels him "Interim Conservative Party Leader". The party's team page names Lorne Doerkson as leader and lists Hicks only as the Juan de Fuca-Malahat candidate, so voche.me does not repeat that label. His hotel management studies, his work in forestry, tourism and fishing, his lodges and his guesthouse are stated by the party and were not checked. The projects the party says he pressed for as director, and the seven cell towers on Highway 14, were not checked with the regional district or the other bodies involved. The regional district's results page starts in 2011, so the start of his 13 years as director, as the party gives it, was not confirmed. The regional district's current site no longer holds the older minutes, so four sets of Electoral Areas Committee minutes were read through Internet Archive copies; minutes of the regional board itself and of other committees were not read, and no recorded vote of his at the board was reviewed. A July 2026 letter to the Sooke News Mirror on fishing rules is signed by a Mike Hicks of Sooke. No page read ties that letter to this candidacy, so it is left out. No all-candidates meeting in the district, no endorsement and no campaign finance report were found on this date. Nominations close October 3, 2026, so other candidates may still be added. The questionnaire has not been sent.
Evidence reviewed on 2026-10-02: the Elections BC candidate list and key dates page, the 2024 statement of votes, the party's candidate, team, platform and news pages, the party's release on taxes, the Capital Regional District's page of past election results, four sets of the regional district's Electoral Areas Committee minutes from 2019 and 2020, and the Times Colonist's 2026 list of Vancouver Island candidates.
