With this site, my purpose is to share some of the work that I am doing as your councillor. In addition, I may share information about events and issues related to my portfolios or my general interests. Any opinions expressed are my own, and I am not attempting a community-wide newsletter.
LAST MONTH:
I attended a Land Use Framework Forum for municipalites. Sponsored by Muncipal Affairs, this workshop was designed to receive input on what should be in a Land Use Framework Document for Alberta. There was general agreement that this initiative is important to municipalites and concerns ranged from infrastructure development to access to water. I hope to receive a copy of the draft document and will pass on more information.
A Northeast 7 Child and Family Services meeting brought together individuals from various occupations to provide input on the three-year plan for our area. It was a great education for me to learn about the mandate and difficulties encountered by such an organization. We average citizens have very little idea about the work going on to protect our children.
LOCAL COUNCIL
Rather than recap everything, I will just announce that council will be holding a public forum to decide on the location of the new campground. I have a strong opinion about this, and will be pleased to have community input.
