Election Over and The Work Begins

On Monday the Ward 3 councillors, Moya Johnson, Dave Kentner and myself, Jane Fogal were all returned to office with strong endorsements from the electorate. Congratulations to my colleagues on their very robust election campaigns. The hard work obviously paid off.
Now that the Election is Monday's news, we are right back to work. We all talked to many people during the campaign and numerous issues were raised.

For example the pictures on the left are of the railroad underpass at McNabb/John Street, the town owned land at the corner of McNabb and Mill Street and the disappearing sidewalk on McNabb Street. Residents have raised these 3 locations as safety issues that they want the town to address.

Councillor Kentner is organizing a meeting of staff, councillors and concerned residents that will likely happen on November 16th in the morning. Any resident is welcome to attend this meeting and should confirm the date and time by contacting Councillor Kentner 905 877 6710.

This is one example of how councillors work with staff to address resident concerns. Yesterday I attended a similar meeting at Gardiner
Public School with the Ward 4 Councillors and the Mayor. In that case we were investigating the possible need for an additional crossing guard.

These are typical concerns that are raised by the public during an election campaign and throughout the term. If you have a concern you can call the Town directly or you can contact any of your councillors.
