Changes in the Climate:

The weather has changed – it’s getting warmer and people are out in shirtsleeves. Worked my way on Notre Dame Street from Granville Street to Greenwood Drive, Highland Avenue and Jennifer Street and Norman Drive. The momentum is building, people are excited about the change and are looking forward to better representation with the city painted red.

This evening we had a few dozen people at the official opening of he District # 22 office. I spoke to them about my week and left them with these thoughts. "Our youth need to know that they will have a future here in S'Side-St.Eleanors and on PEI. The people of S'Side-St-Eleanors, indeed all Islanders, have a choice - our graduates working here? Or somewhere else? Seniors and people facing daily challenges in their lives, need to know that their government will help them to live a life of dignity. The people of Summerside-St.Eleanors, indeed all Islanders, have a choice – a government hungry for power? Or a government committed to empowering Islanders? We need to take care of our environment - our air, land and water. The people of Summerside-St-Eleanors, indeed all Islanders have a choice – clean water for the future? Or more dirty laundry?"

My last meeting of the evening was the information session about public transit for the Island. Lots of food for thought and, if we are to truly be a green province, we need to support and provide public transit for our citizens.
