Capitalize on a media liaison role
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...
On walking into City Hall
For as much effort and money as was put into the renovations at City Hall (which, incidentally, are absolutely beautiful), paying a visit via the main entrance is much like walking into a closet, if you can find it at all. Once inside, depending on the day and time, you are either a) not greeted...

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

I see a deep beauty in this town when we get past the surface and the intended attractions.
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!
