City Councillor
From the Whaling Wall to City Hall
A Voice for Every Corner of White Rock.
OVERVIEW
White Rock raised me, challenged me, and inspired me. Now it’s my turn to give back — with action, heart, and a vision for a safer, stronger community.
MEET MATT
Immigrating to White Rock in 2007, Matt Dai knows this city inside and out. A proud graduate of Semiahmoo Secondary and the Justice Institute of BC, Matt has built a thriving business and life here despite early challenges. Today, he owns Kingdom Athletics and the building that proudly features the iconic Whaling Wall—one of White Rock’s most beloved landmarks. His gym empowers youth, adults, and seniors alike with strength and confidence. Matt’s journey—from bullied newcomer to Black Belt, entrepreneur, and now candidate—reflects the resilience and dedication he brings to serving this community.
