I volunteered at the CEAC booth at the Cochrane Farmer's Market today under the superior mangement of Valerie M. It was a pleasure to work alongside Ken and to reconnect with some great people who stopped in the booth to buy CEAC merchandise, chat about weeds, rain barrels and CEAC generally. It was a great day, with plenty of merchants, merchandise and shoppers.
I was talking to one senior citizen who said she is not that happy about the way the decisions have been made to move the "seniors" to the Spray Lake Centre. I reminded her that I still have a pool table that I wanted to donate to the seniors a year or so ago, and was a bit dimayed that the Town may decide to purchase one instead. Very confusing, because I thought the senior's centre issue was resolved and everyone was on board, and I was told that someone would come by and look at the pool table I want to donate and this has not happened.
The highlight of the day was when Travis, a former Canada World Youth participant who worked with me last year, stopped into the CEAC booth to see me and chatted about his work as a team leader in a similar program in Saskatchewan. He will do a good job.
Even without actively campaigning, I am meeting interesting people who are wishing me well and happy to see me enter the contest for a council seat. As one person said, it is up to the public to assemble a team of people to perform the council function-no one can lay any claim to the final result. That person was right.
