Nomination Day

I think I know the councillor you speak of, she has been there for a long time and seems to know all the issues from what I know of her. I think that the public often doesn't realize the value of having an experienced, honest municipal councillor, it is always great to have new faces too, but the hard working elected officials that know the county, know the issues and work their butts off are worth one heck of a lot to the over all growth of the community as a whole.
I am very interested in seeing if there are changes in the municipalities that have had a lot of controversy this past term.
It will be interesting to see how your vote for elected Reeve turns out.
Parkland County is going to an elected MAYOR this fall, Sturgeon went to one last time and I think at least one other is going that way this year. Usually, they are municipalities where there has been a real tug of war for the Reeve's position on council.

Cowman, I think this time around all the divisions will have at least two candidates vying for the councillor position. That is a very good thing because at least people have choice and will hopefully vote based on what the candidate has to offer.

It takes a lot of courage to put ones name on a ballot, particularly from candidates that take the position seriously. Even if a candidate doesn't win, they have the satisfaction of knowing they were willing to serve their community, and likely at the end of a campaign they will know a lot more about their municipality.
