On Tuesday we (town and SG) our first joint meeting of the two Councils to discussion things that affect each of our municipalities.
Can't believe that we have never had a meeting. We've had many Tri-Council (SP, SG, PC) in the past but never one with just the two urbans.
We have my issues in common and it was nice to be able to discuss them with each other and share how each municipality views them.
We need to be fiscally responsible and sustainable for the future so we have to work together to provide services and amenities that will benefit both communities without duplicated them and spending unnecessary dollars.
Our communities are a few minutes apart and our residents don't care where they get the services just as long as they receive them. In larger communities resident drive further than that to get service or reach an amenity.
Working closely with our neighbors will benefit everyone in the region. We are going to have to bring down some of the protective walls built up and move forward in a spirit of collaboration and good will.
