Welcome

As a personal initiative, the purpose of this blog is to create an opportunity for the citizens of Greenstone to let me know their thoughts on matters of public / municipal interest. My intent is to create a positive dialogue about the issues and opportunities within Greenstone.

Arising out of a guiding principle "that if you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the problem," I invite your comments, ideas, and especially suggestions that will focus on "Growing Greenstone."

To that end, your thoughts which focus on the following, are welcomed:

* Describing what is done well
* Describing what improvements can be made supported with your suggestions
* Identifying issues or projects that should be evaluated
* Suggesting ideas to strengthen the local economy and strategies to reinvest in our communities

I believe in good debate to foster good decision-making. I have been and remain committed towards supporting the process of Strategic Planning and Long Term Capital Planning. I was very pleased with many of the initial outcomes of the January 16-17 Strategic Planning sessions which included Council and Senior Department heads.

This blog is intended to keep me better informed. The opinions expressed on this blog are mine, and do not represent the positions of Greenstone or of the Greenstone Council. Comments made in bad taste are not welcome and will be subject to removal. I look forward to hearing from you.

Respectfully,

Jay Daiter
