On the campaign trail -- October 3

This was a great weekend for door-knocking.  So far, I've been to the doors on Springs and Glen Crescents, Glen and Cave Avenues, and throughout Middle Springs 2.  Hard-working volunteers have visited many other neighbourhoods, as well.

At the doors, I've been hearing about fiscal responsibility, how to get people out of their cars and onto transit, the possibility of adding a railing to the sidewalks on the bridge (to make it safer for families), aand how to increase safety of the mid-block crossings on Banff Avenue.  In Middle Springs, I heard about the immportance of following through on the recommendations from the housing working group.

Important dates to remember:
*Coming up fast*  October 6 - advance poll at the Banff Centre (Professional Development Centre), 10 am to 8 pm
October 13 - advance poll at the Banff Springs Hotel Conference Centre, 10 am to 8 pm
