Deputy Mayor Candidate McLeod Responds

There are two candidates running for Deputy Mayor - Alison McLeod and Dan McLean.  You may click on their names to email them directly. 

I sent both candidates an email today which was very similar to the email sent to the Ward 4 candidates. 

Thank you Candidate McLeod for your prompt response:

Good Morning,

Thanks kindly for your message. 

I live in Hillsdale and understand your concern with regards to high speed internet or actually lack of......It is like a big waiting game until a larger provider establishes lines through our "country areas".

I am not sure if you are in an older home or a newer subdivision.  One thing that I would do in the capacity of Deputy Mayor is to bring it to Council.  We could discuss that when newer subdivions are being planned that internet suppliers be included at the planning stages.  It would then offer access  to existing residences. It would also bring that service to those people in a smaller community  and offer them that service at a comparable rate. 

That is just an idea.  We personally have used the "sticks" that they offer through Bell and Rogers.

One approach I hope to bring to Council if I am successful in my campaign is to work with concerned residents just like you, that communicate with me what is happening with them.  I think responsible Government is elected officials and residents working together to find solutions.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at any time.  There is a Meet the Candidate in Minesing on Oct. 6 at 7:30 just fyi.  If I don't see you there maybe I will see you on my trails as I go from door to door.

Kindest regards,
Alison McLeod
