From the Trail.... Oct 5th.

It's been a busy - but amazing week.

The week kicked off with a visit to the classroom on Monday.  I was invited to speak with the four of the grade

I spoke with four of the grade six classes at Manachaban on Monday.  It was a really good experience and the kids had good questions.  Like their parents, their was a lot of interest in the plans for the new pool but they also wanted some new stores and a new one - to expand the skate board park.

At the end of talk, I left them with a question, "What makes a good politician?"  On Tuesday, their teacher e-mailed them back the responses.  There were pages.  And one of the answers was a poem.  I've shared it:

POLITICIAN
Politician
Open
Learn
Interested
Try
Intrigued
Care about the town
I help the town
Amazed
Never give up!

Tuesday was door knocking after work.  (still have to do that)  And then preparing for Wednesday's forum at the Seniors on the Bow.  The forum was a good night, with 11 of the 13 candidates for council attending, all 3 mayor candidates and the school board trustee candidates.  I think they announced over 140 folks in attendance.

The rest of the week, when not working, has been door knocking.  And fixing the occasional sign that some miscreants feel the need to mess with.  It's been a great time meeting folks in Riverview and Sunset Heights. 

Tomorrow we have another forum. 

Sunday Forum:

Frank Wills:  7-9 PM

 

Hope to see you there!
