Recreation support
Historically community volunteers kept the outdoor ice rinks up and running, dads meeting at the rinks close to midnight sometimes to get one more flooding in. Now that the recreation department has taken over it feels like the rinks are rarely up and running from my experience in Lafontaine especially. Tiny’s policy of multiple days in a row of below some degree Celsius means the rinks are rarely attended to. I have watched so many winter days of lost fun and community building. I am looking for a candidate who will give the rinks back to the community, give the tennis courts back to the tennis community ( so difficult to play tennis on pickleball infused courts), and overall make a commitment to supporting recreation without over bureaucratizing it. Let the Picklball players have the entire Balm Beach site, it is so poorly designed with pickle ballers having to go through the tennis courts and the tennis courts squished in too close together just switch it over and put new tennis only courts in somewhere else. Who is interested in supporting and likely spending money on recreation?
Municipal tax
Do you consider $1,400 a year to be a fair municipal tax?
Salary increases
Will you as new council members take a raise in salary from what the current council is currently making?
New Tiny municipal building
Are you willing to put a stop to the proposed new municipal building, since most residents of Tiny are opposed to spending this huge amount of money, when there are so many other more important items that could be dealt with.
How do you plan to control costs for residents
Given the previous council's disregard for residents wishes to not build new offices, the council went ahead without a referendum. What safeguards do you intend to put in place to prevent this kind of thing from happening again in the future and what are your immediate plans to keep property taxes and the costs of living in Tiny from rising at the rate of inflation or less?
