Candidate Sandy McConkey Responds

I would like to thank Candidate McConkey for her prompt reply!  It turns out that she could very well be an ally for us in our endeavors of securing a high speed internet connection for our neighbourhood.  I have posted her response below:

I would like to welcome you to the area! It's nice to see a new resident take interest in the campaign. My campaign material will be printed this week, I waited for today to go to print as today was the acceptance of nominations.

I would first like to disclose that I am an employee of Bell Canada.


In answer to your question I know that the County of Simcoe launched an initiative called Rural Connections in order to bring High Speed Connection to Simcoe County. As a Councillor I would like to gain an understanding of the pocket of areas without high speed in my Ward. I  would follow up on the Rural Connections initiative and understand the future roadmap/footprints  for our area and communicate to you my initial findings and possible next steps. I understand that High Speed Infrastructure benefits economic, learning and social development and I will provide my support and encourage opportunities that enable High Speed in Rural areas with focus on Ward 4.


If you would like to call I can arrange to drop off my campaign brochure to your home.


Any further questions please do not hesitate to ask


Thanks
Sandy

Tomorrow, I will post the letter I sent to Bell Canada at the beginning of August.  I have not yet received a reply.  I will also send a copy of this letter to Candidate McConkey.  Maybe she can get the ball rolling for us!
