The conceptual diagrams for the New Dundee Parks Improvement Project are available for viewing! Please see the diagrams posted at various locations around the community. These diagrams show the concepts of what the enhancements could look like to our Community Park and what the Ball Diamonds could look like a the Community Centre.

Rural road conditions

As we move into another fall season where wet weather persists, I often notice an increase of calls with concerns about the condition of some of our rural roads.

As a representative of a rural ward, our rural road infrastructure has always been at the forefront of my mind during annual reviews and budget discussions - in the past few years we have seen a great increase in road improvements in our rural area however the increase hasn't yet solved all of our road issues.

Tonight I was called by a resident whom I've spoken with in the past; his road was in terrible shape, and when I drove out to see for myself I had to agree. We must focus on improving the condition of our rural road network to ensure the safety and fair treatment of our residents.

Wilmot Recreation Complex Phase II - Public Information Centre!

It was great seeing lots of people out this evening at our Wilmot Recreation Complex for the Public Information Centre for Phase II. The public had an opportunity to view and make comments on the designs for our new aquatics centre which includes an 8-lap competitive swim pool, a leisure/therapy pool, indoor walking/running track, seniors active living centre and youth centres. I heard lots of valuable feedback ranging from accessibility, parking, and even a few questions on the park developments in New Dundee!
Council will consider the final designs on September 14th and we hope to have shovels in the ground in the spring of 2010!
