As a small business owner, it is hard to find employees

As a small business owner, it is hard to find employees. If we had better shopping, restaurants, entertainment, we could entice more people here & sustain the shops, restaurants etc. More housing would be needed, more families would supply more workers. It has to start with bringing more people here. We have the room to grow don’t we?

I see a deep beauty in this town when we get past the surface and the intended attractions. I see a great revolution of hope and health as we get past the negative of present problems and see what could be as our relationship with First Nations Peoples grows!

“City in Motion” has lost its relativity

“I think Wetaskiwin needs to do a better job of working with its neighbors..and not just JEDI. That includes the First Nations. Engage your citizens for the long term, not just when it comes to a new plan. Plans are only useful if they are used, measured for success and then readjusted. Citizen, if you can find a way to get their buy-in, are the best placed to do just that.”

What do you think?

“Let’s take a look at all the positive”

I live, work and play in Wetaskliowin. I love Wetaskiwin! I get to go home for lunch most days, I’m only 5 minutes from work, rush hour only lasts 10 minutes, not 2 hours. We have wonderful walking trails and parks, especially out at Peace Hills, it’s off leash for my girls, they get to run and play and regularily meet the other regular dogs out for a walk, not to mention the many adventures we’ve had out there, the deer being chased by a fox by Lady and then by Princess, really wish I had a video camera that day! It was like the book about the frog chasing the fly, chasing the frog….ha ha. well then there were the walks where they found the porquipine and the skunk, but that hasn’t happened in years.
