| WARD 5 - SUDBURY SECTION |
|
| |
 The
Sudbury section of Ward 5 contains approximately 2500 registered voters
compared to the 6500 registered voters in the Valley East section of
Ward 5. During the 2010 election, approximately 1000 people voted from
the Sudbury Section while approximately 2500 people voted from the
Valley East section.
With so many candidates running for election in 2014, the voters in the
Sudbury section of Ward 5 are going to have a tremendous impact on the
outcome and as I have spent time talking with residents of the Sudbury
section of Ward 5, I am finding that there is a wide range of issues
that must be addressed in the next term in order to provide the
residents with the same quality of services that other parts of the City
of Greater Sudbury enjoy.
My commitment to the Sudbury section of Ward 5 is exactly the same as my
commitment to the residents of Valley East. If I am elected to represent
the people of Ward 5, it doesn't matter where you happen to reside, I
will be your VOICE on Council and will definitely work at addressing the
concerns that have been identified.
This web site is designed to highlight some of the main concerns that I
have discovered during the time I have spent visiting the different
parts of the community and speaking with local residents. If there is
anything else that you would like me to consider, please do not hesitate
to contact me by phone at 705-969-7215 or by email at

OVERVIEW OF
WARD 5 - SUDBURY SECTOR
The first thing to notice about the Sudbury Sector of Ward 5 is that
there are four (4) distinct and completely different neighbourhood
communities within this section of the Ward. This compounds the extreme
difference that exists between the residents of Val Caron, Blezard
Valley, McCrea Heights and Guilletville, in the Valley East sector.
It is expected that the 2018 Election will be the first one with a new
set of Ward boundaries and Ward 5 will be one of the first to be
considered for division. It is just too difficult for residents of the
Sudbury sector of Ward 5 to identify with the concerns and issues of the
Valley East sector of Ward 5. On top of this, it is too difficult for
one Ward Councillor to integrate sufficiently in all sectors in order to
completely understand the needs of the constituents.
It is my opinion that it would be in the best interests of the people
living in the Sudbury sector of Ward 5 to be divided up and merged with
Wards 4 and 12, the two Wards that are adjacent to that part of Ward 5.
That would mean that the Valley East sector of Ward 5 would merge with
the Val Therese section of Ward 6 and Capreol would be absorbed by Ward
6.
As it stands now, the residents of Ward 5, Sudbury sector, can count on
excellent representation if I am elected because I am committed to
representing the best interests of all of my constituents. It is not a
matter of it being difficult for me to represent Ward 5 and by your
voice at City Council. It's just that it would be nice to have some
common features that are felt by the entire Wards. This is impossible
with the current Ward boundaries. |
