RESIDENT SATISFACTION SURVEY - IMPORTANT CHANCE FOR INPUT

Please take the opportunity soon to fill out the Resident Satisfaction Survey.  The deadline (October 31) is coming up fast!  You can do the survey online at:

http://www.banff.ca/town-hall/banff-town-council/strategic-priorities/resident-satisfaction.htm

It will only take about 20 minutes of your time, and that's time well spent, because the results of this survey are taken into account in council decision-making and budget-setting.  This is your chance to speak very directly to council about your opinions on the work the Town does.

BUDGET DATES SET

For all you keen budget fans out there, the dates for Council's budget meetings have been tentatively set.  All these meetings are open to the public:

November 22 and 29, 9 am to noon

December 1, 6, 8 and 13, 9 am to noon

MONDAY'S COUNCIL MEETINGS

On Monday, Council will have a series of meetings in Council Chambers, all open to the public ...

Official swearing in, at 1:30 pm

This is the ceremony in which mayor and council swear (or affirm) that they will perform their duties in an honest and diligent manner.

Other aspects of the Annual Organizational Meeting, at approximately 1:45 pm

Council will set the meeting schedule for the year, and will appoint members to all the boards and committees.  You can see the agenda package at:

This is a very low-key meeting, with a few items for information only. 

THANK YOU

Thank you all so much for all the support and encouragement.  I am absolutely overwhelmed by the kind comments and congratulations that I have received this past week!
