		<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>

We need to look at including volunteer organizations that bring in lots of community interest and ecomomic ability into the community (e.g. Minor hockey hosts tournamnets and games throughout the year which is a vital part of Wetaskiwin’s economy)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>First off – there is nothing “un”friendly or “un”welcoming about city hall. Whenever I need some direction I simply ask.
There is one thing that could be a little more obvious: who should I ask first? There doesn’t seem to be a main receptionist. It really doesn’t make much difference to me but it may be helpful for those who don’t enjoy public spaces.
It has always been a friendly atmosphere for me.

		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately, this city is developing a reputation to the external world as being a location for frequent crime, substance abuse and addictions, and – in general – a city in decline with very few positive attributes. This is, in part, due to the high proportion of ‘bad news’ stories that make their way into the local papers and other news media. This isn’t the fault of the local media; they’re just doing their job. However, I think it would be exceptionally wise of the city to capitalize on a media liaison role and to have that person feed as many positive, newsworthy stories to the media as possible in a concerted effort to tip the balance of stories in a more positive direction.]]></description>
