PRESS RELEASE: Sept 7, 2013
Councillor Tara McFadden seeking re-election
Councillor Tara McFadden announced she is seeking re-election as Town Councillor for the Town of Cochrane.
“Like others, my husband and I moved
to Cochrane seeking a high quality of life for our family. My time on council has been focused on maintaining
and enhancing the quality of life in Cochrane, not only for my family but for
everyone’s. That is work that I want to
continue.”
McFadden has a track record as a champion
for growth management, economic development and community engagement. McFadden says, “The successes I’m most proud
of include the clean-up and development of the Domtar site, greater engagement
with the community, the Sustainabilty Plan and of course the pathway expansions
in the East End and Gleneagles.”
One of the projects, McFadden commits
to delivering if elected, is the new Aquatic Centre. “Like other families, I want to have my kids
in swim lessons, a bigger lap pool and the warm water therapy open for those
who need it. Cochrane has clearly
indicated that this is a priority.”
McFadden includes Political
Accountability, Environmental Stewardship, Financial Management and Recreation
and Culture on her 2013 Platform. “Not
only do we need to focus on what projects we’re delivering, such as the new
pool, curling rink and RCMP station, but we need to focus on how we make
decisions. I’m a firm believer that
engaging with the public and creating meaningful ways for our citizens to have
input, results in better decisions being made.
Decisions that reflect what Cochrane truly values as a community. We can go beyond the status quo in finding
meaningful ways for citizens to be part of decision making.”
This is McFadden’s second term serving
on Town Council and she was first elected in 2007. McFadden in married with two children and is
the Community Engagement Officer with Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation.
McFadden cites her council updates
e-mailed out after council meetings and her use of social media as important
tools in connecting with residents and sharing information with the community.
