Is the North Westside Financially Capable of Self Governance?
Why this petition matters
It is important to prove you are a resident of the North Westside, please add your address to the comment section upon signing.
Every household member over the age of 18 years of age is eligible to sign. We encourage all household members to sign!!
68% of the residents in our community are not satisfied with the current governance model and wonder if we can do a more efficient job.
An independent feasibility study would provide our residents with the financial snapshot required to make an informed decision on what our future would look like as a Municipality.
Becoming a Municipality we would work directly with the Ministry which would give the North Westside a much stronger voice and eliminate the RDCO bureaucracy.
Would the change in rules on land use and community development benefit us? Increase property values?
With independently maintaining our drinking water facilities could there be:
- Cost savings by negotiating our own service delivery agreements?
- Cheaper alternatives to the millions of dollars the RDCO is wanting to spend (i.e. point of entry filtration)
