At 9:30 I started canvassing in Bow Meadows-despite the early hour, people answered their doors and took time to talk to me about the issues. I met some interesting people, and some old friends. Thanks to those who took time to vote today, especially Janet, my friend who made sure she voted! I was impressed.
Some of the issues there are speeding on the Bow River by speed boats, congestion on the Bow River, the pathway system that the Town just got finished, partying in the park until wee hours by young people, parking in the residential neighbourhood by people using the park, lack of maintenance of the public lands behind the houses, weeds, bylaw enforcement, and lack of bylaw enforcement, inability to get out of the neighbourhood easily during peak hours, lack of a second exit into the area, etc.
It was a full, and busy morning, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute I spent chatting with people.
This afternoon, I went back again to West Valley. I really enjoyed the time talking with Wayne, Ken, Della, Colleen, and others who I don't know by name, and I know they will keep me on my toes if I am elected. I enjoyed sharing storied with everyone and look forward to representing all of you on council, when elected. (If elected?)
I enjoyed learning about concerns and issues that have already been dealt with elsewhere in this blog many times. The "painted pony" continues to raise its head, for example. Development and growth are also raised time and time again.
Thanks to everyone I met today for tkaing the time-it is greatly appreciated. Thanks to Myrna for the coffee and Judy for the great sign location!
