In this term of council, there were a number of 6 to 1 votes where I opposed a decision that in my opinion did not generate the greatest benefit to our community. In many cases, I had raised valid concerns and suggestions that did not receive the level of wholesome discussion one would expect. Between now and the election I will be providing greater detail related to some of the major decisions I have opposed and why, including but not limited to:

• Location of the casino & how the major downsizing of the casino was approved by council

• Closure of the walk-in clinic pilot project early in this term of council

• Location and configuration of the library / double pad arena and proceeding with this $60 million-plus build without Provincial & Federal grant funding

• Dismantling of the Main Street Market and destruction of the kiosks

• The $300,000.00 plus renovations to the town hall

• 60% increase in development charges in a single year

• The plan to finalize a purchase of sale agreement for taxpayer-owned Beach 1 lands until the questions & concerns I have raised are addressed to my satisfaction

• Cash in lieu parking bylaw available for Beach 1 development
