Targeted Economic Incentives

“We Will Work Toward Being a Community…”

Of safe and clean neighbourhoods with low crime rates and low vacancy rates that are inhabited by multi-generational owner-occupants.

Where economic opportunity for businesses offering good wages for employees is readily available.

With varied recreation opportunities funded by several sources and targeting children and teens.

With stable funding from a diverse tax base to finance the governmental services citizens need.

Where commercial and retail sectors providing varied shopping opportunities thrive.

That finds logical solutions to traffic congestion.

Where regionalized solutions are sought for governmental issues.

With an involved citizenry.
