VOTE

Dear Neighbours,

I am not going to tell you who to vote for.  That is not the point of this post or this blog.  I will however implore you to go out and exercise your democratic right and vote for the person who best addresses yours and your family's issues, concerns, and needs.

To me, municipal politics are incredibly important as you will see the direct impacts of your tax dollars in your immediate community.  An ideal Councillor represents their constituents while understanding and respecting the political, legal, and environmental nature of the issue.  While the Mayor and Deputy Mayor continue to represent a single vote each at Council, it is also their job to lead Council towards a common vision for the community.

We are fortunate to have several people running for each office.  You can see on the blog how they have responded to the single issue of the lack of internet access on Parr Boulevard.  I am not suggesting that you vote based on a single issue, however, I believe it is an important family, economic development, and social priority. 

Please, get out and vote for you, your family, and future generations.  Here's how:

Research the candidates.  Use this blog or click here to see the list of registered candidates and contact them directly.  The candidates for Mayor and Deputy Mayor have their own websites.
