Karen Pagratis for Countryside

Living in Countryside I know the issues we face. We need a voice in Council to ensure that our tax dollars are going to the amenities that are best suited for this district:

We need: Communication and internet services. This is an on-going concern in the less densely populated areas surrounding the city. Yet we are all equally dependant upon the information highway. It's where we all buy, sell, and learn nowadays. We have to have equal access

We need: Public transportation. Our tax dollars go towards it like everyone else's. Why don't we see any busses on our roads, near our homes? At the very least we deserve far more convenient park and ride locations and some limited bus routes north of the 401 and east along Hwy 2.

We need: Amenities. Since we pay city taxes, we should enjoy at least some of the amenities our urban neighbours do. We need our roads to be plowed after a snowfall, we need our potholes fixed promptly, and we need sewage infrastructure.

I'm asking for your vote because Countryside deserves the infrastructure and amenities we were promised. I will be a dedicated and politically involved advocate for Countryside. I understand that we need to take care of our whole community.
