Election day is getting closer. As I reminded my wife Pat and son Anthony on Sunday before heading out to the meeting on the St Mary’s Quarry situation held by F.O.R.C.E. (their website is www.stopthequarry.ca )I turned to them and said … “Only 7 more days!” With that I got a nice hug from both, encouraging me to keep going…nothing better than that!
While out knocking on doors last night I was asked “why is it important to put up lawn signs?” Thats a pretty good question.
Like many of you living in this ward, we have worked very hard to build up our community. It isnt just a collection of dwellings, cars, and trees. Its home. There arent just occupants in the homes down the street from you…theyre friends and neighbours. Many of you are out at nights during the days speaking with your friends and neighbours about many different things…football, hockey, sports, lawn care and landscaping tips, etc. You share your opinions on many issues, just like the issues we’re talking about during this election.
Many of you have told me at the doors that you are supporting me this election and will be voting on November 13th and I am very grateful and humbled by that. Some of you have gone so far as to offer help by handing out flyers and keeping signs in good order. Again, thank you very much.
This election is going to be a close one. From what I have heard the voter turnout is going to be a lot more than last time. And for that…people should be informed about the issues, concerns and the candidates running in this election as well.
I ask that if you are going to give me your support in this election that you send me a quick email signs@mikecluett.ca to request your Mike Cluett sign for your lawn. With that you will be showing your friends and neighbours that you support safer streets in our community; that you support better representation on town council with more input on issues that are important to you and your family; that you support someone who will be spending your tax payers dollars with resepct; and that you support a fellow friend and neighbour as well.
Signs arent vital to be supportive, but they do show support and in turn I would be very happy to have you show suppport for me on November 13th.
Just as a reminder tonight is a school board trustee debate at Hawthorne Village starting at 7pm. If you are concerned about who will be representing us on the public school board for the next 4 years, its important we come out…ask questions and get involved.
I’ll see you at the doors.
