I received an email this evening.
I wanted to start off by saying thank you for taking the time to come to my door and talking to me about the upcoming municipal election. I just wanted to know a little bit more about yourself in relation to your running for Ward 1 councillor and what separates you as a better choice from the other candidate I’m considering (Tony Lambert) seeing that there is NO WAY I’m going to re-elect the present councillor from my ward. Also, if I do choose to vote for you, I would be willing to help volunteer (if you need help) to really get the message out there to vote out the present councillor/councillors at city hall. Feel free to call me if you prefer as well. Thanks again and looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Chris
This isn’t the first time this issue has come up and I want to make sure people understand the different levels of municipal government we have so we can avoid any confusion.
On November 13th we are going to be able to vote for the following:
- Local Town Councillor (the position I am running for)
- Regional Councillor
- Regional Chair
- School Board Trustee (public, separate and french)
- Mayor
You will be able to vote for 2 candidates for the position of Town Councillor, vote for one candidate for Regional Councillor, vote for one candidate for Regional Chair, vote for one candidate for your respective School Board and finally vote for one candidate for Mayor.
I would hope that over the next few weeks, candidates like myself would take the time to visit you at the doors to let you know what we stand for and the reasons why you should vote for us. It is a very tough task indeed to be able to reach everyone before election day. That is why utilizing this website and blog, I can be able to virtually reach as many people as possible.
If over the course of the next few weeks before November 13th I dont get a chance to meet with you face to face I do hope you continue to visit my website for updates and urge you to send me an email if you have any questions.
More importantly, I urge everyone to get out and vote. If you are curious as to where you will be voting go to my homepage www.mikecluett.ca where I have a list of voting locations and a link to a map to see which one you will be going to.
