Iain LovattIAIN'S PLATFORM LEADERSHIP WITH VISION Residents of Stouffville deserve the best cultural, recreational & leisure facilities, the finest parks, the best-equipped schools, the cleanest streets, the strongest community spirit! I believe that Stouffville needs new leadership with vision at the council level. Leadership that views proposals like a Satellite University Campus as an opportunity worth exploring and not a burdensome exercise. Leadership that is proactive in assessing the needs of the community and executes accordingly. Leadership that envisions a connected system of trails and bike paths for all residents to enjoy. Leadership that plans cultural and community events that bring the entire town together on a monthly basis. The residents of Stouffville need men and women on council that are not afraid of seeing the opportunities to make our town an even better place to call home. A good friend defines leadership as "Someone who looks at the world around them and says, It doesn't have to be this way, and then does something about it. This is the kind of leadership I will bring to council along with a vision for Stouffville that extends well beyond my four-year term. FOR STOUFFVILLE SENIORS Those in our community who are 55+ need to be at the top of the list of priorities for Stouffville Council. According to the 2011 census, the 55+ age group made up 26% of the Town's population and is one of the fastest growing demographics in town. I will work hard to improve seniors' services in every area of Stouffville and plan ahead for our future seniors. FOR A VIBRANT DOWNTOWN There is so much unrealized and overlooked potential on Main Street. Our town's charm needs to be recaptured. Retailers are relocating to the west end of Main Street, seeking accessibility and greater parking. We have allowed landlords to let their buildings fall into disrepair and work against what we all want: a charming, quaint, old town Main Street where merchants can be successful and residents are proud to shop. FOR STRONG NEIGHBOURHOODS Residents of Stouffville deserve the opportunity to shape their neighbourhoods. Community associations and residents should be consulted on issues that affect their area and be given the opportunity to influence decision-makers. Stouffville is multi-generational, mutli-cultural and full of the best people who love their town. I stand for stronger relationships with Stouffville's neighbourhoods and local government. OPEN COMMUNICATION I believe residents of Stouffville deserve the opportunity to have the most transparent and accessible forms of communication available between council and the community. It is incumbent on council to take every possible opportunity to communicate with the public.
