October is here and the wait is over for Halloween, although the stores have had decorations up since August!
Also here after a long ramp-up is the election for municipal government. Many aspects impact us in Palliser, Bayview, and Pumphill – including infrastructure concerns like water facilities and road potholes, and the densification issues we remember like the Glenmore Landing situation and others that continue to pop up throughout the community.
Let’s all make sure we are well informed before we vote on October 20, so we get the best possible representation at City Hall. Now’s the time to think about what concerns us and where candidates stand on the key issues for our community. We’ve had open discussions and posed questions to several candidates; responses are posted on our website so please have a look at PBPcommunity.ca. Of course, if you are a PBPCA member, you’ll have this info emailed to you.
While I’m on the subject of membership (as usual), this fall we are working to increase our membership. As noted above it is an easy and inexpensive way to stay informed about community issues, programs, and connection opportunities.
Please use the QR code in this newsletter to join or look on the PBPcommunity.ca website.
Memberships provide a little revenue, but grants and rentals form a much larger part of our operational budget. Following the great work last summer refreshing the landscaping and the small boardroom at the hall, we are continuing to update the space, furniture, audiovisual, and internet capacity of the larger hall. It’s great local multipurpose space available at reasonable rates, please have a look and consider a rental for your group or social activities. Info is in this newsletter.
Enjoy our beautiful autumn and have a safe and happy Halloween.
