170 Conversations and Counting ….
We have been all over the County – from farmers markets to the Drummond North Elmsley landfill to the Beckwith Recreational Centre and we have spoken with about 170 people. We are getting great feedback on the four pillars of sustainability – economic, environmental, social and cultural – and we are starting to see a clear picture of where residents want to see Lanark go in the future. If you haven’t done the questionnaire please complete it now, and if you have think about sending it to a friend.
We Are Coming to Pakenham Arena
Tonight (Tuesday, October 4th) we will be at the Pakenham Arena from about 4:30 until 7:30 to find people who are interested in doing out questionnaire. Same rules apply – if you complete a questionnaire with us you will get a coupon for a cup of coffee.
Sign Up For a Task Force
Just announced – the Sustainability Task Forces will be forming and meeting in mid-October. The purpose of each task force – one each for cultural, social, economic and environmental pillars – is to take the input of local residents and use it to create a draft sustainability plan for Lanark County.
