Door to door in Middle Springs
In spite of low clouds and the threat of rain, I enjoyed going door to door in the upper half of Middle Springs I. With the gloomy weather, a few more people were at home today. Several new topics came up in discussions at the door: creating a balance of viewpoints on council, having an overall vision and strategy for the town, and having strong environmental programs.
 When I reached Kim and Mandy's place, I was delighted to hear from them that Arlene Rheaume has stepped in to fill the third vacancy on School Board. Having a strong school board is always important, but especially during the present major planning exercise. Congratulations and thanks to Kim Bater, Sheila Snowsell, and to Arlene for being willing to serve our community -- I know they will do a wonderful job of representing the needs of Banff schools, parents and students at this critical time.
