Dear Timberlea-Prospect Residents,
Happy New Year to All!
This past year was filled with plenty of challenges never experienced before in this area with devastating fires, damaging floods, and severe storm events. Despite these obstacles and complications, our community has been filled with new success, and modern infrastructure highlighted with the opening of the Bayers Lake Community Outpatient Centre, the start of the rebuild of the new BLT Community Centre and finalizing the protection of Island Lake Wilderness Area.
In 2024, my priorities are to continue to attract more investment to our area, advocate for progress on the environment, and focus on the acute issue of the rising cost-of-living. There are plenty of ideas to improve how government helps everyday working families which my colleagues and I will soon be able to debate, in the next sitting of the Legislature.
Locally, I’ll continue to work with community groups to pursue further enhancements. The increasingly full schools and childcare centres are some of those areas of immediate importance, given the need to accommodate growth and expected population projections. I also want to ensure that we are maximizing what we can expect from HRM in the new community centre that has been such a long time coming.
Looking forward to continuing working for you.
Warmest regards,
