How often do you hear from your councillors?    Probably a lot more often closer to election time, right?  Well, now that it is an election year, I’m sure you are hearing from them.  Otherwise, perhaps you receive a newsletter with general information, and nice photos of them.  However, do they proactively come out and meet with you regularly for serious discussions about your concerns?  Most residents don’t even know who their councillors are.  This occurs for several reasons, but we can’t blame the residents.  How often and how hard do your politicians try to reach out to you?  Are they even interested in “Your Voice” ?

My solution to remedy this sad situation is easy, vote for a candidate (me) that will proactively come and meet with your organization (cultural group, ratepayers’ association) on a regular basis.  And if there isn’t a group of concerned neighbours organized in your neighbourhood, I’ll help you to form a group; and then I’ll attend as often as you want me to.  Sounds unusual, but that’s what community involvement really means.  I will be “Your Voice”.
