Visiting Hillview

We had a wonderful focus group in Hillview this week with people from nearby communities attending.  Some of the discussion centred around the infrastructure of local communities.  For example, water quality issues were referenced and the impact that has on health.  They also spoke about the lack of sidewalks and the lack of street lights as stopping people from walking, particularly at night.  Associated with that is concern with cars speeding through communities.  Some of these same concerns have been voiced in other communities as well.

Talking with Municipal Leaders in the Isthmus Area

Last night's discussion with municipal leaders in the Isthmus area went very well.  Much of the discussion was focused on family doctors.  Currently, the Isthmus area has two family doctors and communities are concerned with recruitment of new physicians when and if the two current physicians retire.  The municipal leaders in the room felt that this will have a major impact on their communities and the quality of life available to citizens.
