		<description><![CDATA["I believe that the city should be asking what areas around the town the citizens would like to see fixed or bettered, things that the city can actually do. Not to mention the road to By-The-Lake-Park, that's an attraction Wetaskiwin has, it's a shame however that it is so terribly hard to drive up there, that road ruins the thought of it being a nice place to go in the afternoon. Our City in Motion needs to live up to that name."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Wetaskiwin Community Transportation Society (now operating as Wetaskiwin Transit) and its clients, would like to ask everyone to vote for them in the Aviva Community Fund.

Only the 30 (10 in each budget category) ideas with the most votes qualify for the Semi-Finals each round. Final winner is actually determined by a panel of judges and not votes but we have to get to the judging stage.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our recycling program isn’t bad. We really need to keep plastics in it. The problem is that many people don’t want to bother taking their stuff to the depot. I know it would be expensive, but curbside would encourage more participation. And we shouldn’t allow those huge garbage cans that some people fill every week – we should encourage less garbage as well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wetaskiwin needs a new rec centre/pool that is a permanent structure (not a tent that I heart about). Also, we need more retail stores here because I do not wish to have to drive to Leduc or Camrose to shop. (As for Walmart, I never shop there but have been told that prices are more expensive here).

My jingle? Cars cost less in Wetaskiwin, but everything else costs more.]]></description>

There are often a number of out of work that are very capable of taking on some day projects or even some multi-day projects. Contact the Network Co-ordinator at the NOW building – Lauralee Fanning [780-352-8428] as there is a growing plan to make this available.]]></description>

The cost of these things are prohibitive for small businesses and being a small town, we should be promoting them.]]></description>

A packing plant, warehousing &#038; even trying something as absurd as lengthening the runway at the airport to try &#038; become a bedroom community for Fort McMurray.]]></description>

By the Lake Park could certainly benefit from such an upgrade and it might allow all people to enjoy the park, year round and without fear."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whenever I spend even a few moments in the Neighbors Outreach of Wetaskiwin, I hear stories of heartache and struggle and yearning, aching for change. I don’t hear scheming and plans for vagrancy!
There are definite and workable possibilities to address these struggles and addictions, we simply need to welcome these, not fear them, as a community!!!]]></description>
