Seguin Quotes: May 22 - 23
Here's the next installment of my 'Seguin Quotes' series.
This weekend, I continued my route down Rankin Lake Road on Saturday. I made it all the way to Foley Library. Then, on Sunday, I attended the annual general meeting of the Otter Lake Ratepayer's Association. It was good to see the people attend the meeting hall above the library to discuss the previous year's business and discuss future actions. This sort of exchange in public is a vital part of community political action. I think it's great.
So, onto this weekend's quotes. The 'Seguin Quotes' series reveals the considered thoughts and beliefs of the people of Ward 1.
My question: "What's the one thing you would change about Seguin Township?"
"What would it take to have a dump container for construction and household waste at [Foley's] Brooks Road?" - Rick Borneman, Rankin Lake Road
"Have convenience stores in different regions provide dog license sales because they're open past five o'clock". - Rick Borneman, Rankin Lake Road
"Leave the Memorial Hall [in Humphrey] where it is" - June Frail, Rankin Lake Road
"They should clean up the museum". - June Frail, Rankin Lake Road
"They should make Rankin Lake Road a 50 km/h zone". - June Frail, Rankin Lake Road
"I don't think councillors should sit on boards that make a council decision - it's like having a guy on the inside. Either that or abstain from the council vote about the board". - Chuck Frail, Rankin Lake Road
"We need more police patrol on Rankin Lake Road due to speeding. People are driving way too fast. A community safety zone would be a good idea". - John & Louisa Sofijanov, Rankin Lake Road
"The gate on the [Foley Matheson] park needs to be locked after 9 pm. It is never locked. With the gate left open, drinking and partying after 9 pm is the main issue. It would also be nice to have some sort of pavillion at the beach to sit under and maybe some barbecue pits". - Mike Bernardo, Garden Court
