I have had the pleasure to meet and work with many of the residents in Ward 2. l have provided a strong voice of reason on council. 1 have concentrated my efforts on listening to residents' issues and concerns and working together to resolve them. I have dealt with each and every one of these issues aggressively, efficiently and effectively: issues such as community safety, the environment, property standards. taxes and road improvements, trucks and speed control, charity and fund raising events. There is still work to be done. New challenges. new commit- ments. I look forward to working with the residents of Ward 2 to resolve their ongoing concerns.

I will make no excuses for failures. and leave the successes to those whom it is due. the people I will rep- resent. I believe that if that attitude were shared by everyone in gov- ernment, then all those "problematic issues" facing our town would not be such a problem after all because they w0uld be dealt with before they became at; 'such. In thencxt four years I hope that we will start to see some pos- itive changes in attitudes of governance here in this town. then I believe everything else will be simple... or hopefully just a little easier. aqudlmd whvllobbtmbnulyhavr Voter Participation in the last election only 25 pier cent of those eligible voted. lheiieve residents should be able to vote by mail. ote by mail was used over 100 Ontario municipalities in 2003 resulting in higher turnout: and levels 0 satia- iaction according to an Association of Municipalities of Ontario survey.
