A permanent homeless shelter

What changes would you most like to see here?

To establish a civic fund-raising office

“Wetaskiwin has stayed a blue collar town. It does not look like that has been a winning strategy.
I doubt if the town can get an academically oriented college soon, so that source of leadership is probably not going to be available here. What the town does have is a very substantial wealth base. It badly needs to establish a civic fund-raising office (along the lines of those used by colleges) to see if major patronage for long-term civic improvement can be obtained.”
