For Council - Brown, Tammy

What do you want Elliot Lake to look like in 10 years, and how do we get there? 

More than anything, 10 years from now I would like to see Elliot Lake thriving with a strong economy. Elliot Lake will have a new hotel that will allow us to host a wide array of events. The downtown core will boast an arts and recreation hub that will showcase our incredible talent, it will be surrounded by local shops and beautiful landscape. 

Elliot Lake will be a great place to live, work and play and we will market our community as a lifestyle.We will offer many new trails for travellers to explore. Our infrastructure will be well - maintained and sustainable and put us in a great situation to manage our growth. 

Elliot Lake will have a walk in clinic that will ensure everyone will have access to the medical attention they deserve. 

Apartment buildings that will be affordable to the community are a must. I would like to see a variety of homes built to benefit all sizes of families, incomes and the age range. 

We will be working side by side with our first nations neighbouring communities and collaborate together and continue building meaningful relationships. 

In order to achieve this we will need to prioritise projects and make use of the land we have available now. We must look at all our infrastructure and firmly put a maintenance plan in effect. 

As development starts we must expediate or streamline the process and ensure contracts are tight and deadlines are firm. 

To encourage developers who will assist in housing units we can offer fee waivers and reductions in permit cost in exchange for a certain amount of affordable housing units. 

In closing I believe when looking at the future, you must invest in the youth! We as a community must engage the future of Elliot Lake and find out what kind of city they want to inherit. A youth council is needed as not only will we get their perspective but they will learn the tools necessary to achieve a community that they are proud of. I will commit to attending highschools and engaging our youth to ensure our Jewel is always a priority.

Thank you so much, I will try to be brief but there are many pieces of the puzzle that need to come together.         Over the next 10 years much can happen but changes to attitude and mindset of future council is what needs to occur first, working towards the growth of the community and being respectful of each other's opinions must happen. I believe we can affordably build a community center that houses, the arena, pool, walking track, museum, art gallery and 400 seat theatre, but affordably does not mean free. This gem being located in the heart of the downtown core would draw both local traffic and tourism right downtown helping to support all of the local businesses in the area and meeting the needs of all community groups.        Look into what upgrades can be done at the ski hill, lookout tower and provincial park to increase the experience and tourism draw. Housing diversification is a must for a multitude of various needs.        Spine Rd infrastructure...

The question, what do I want Elliot Lake to be in 10 years?   If the present focus of the city is to be a retirement centre.  Then the city will remain the same, limited shopping, devoid of night life and no expansion.  The first step is to stop marketing the city as only a retirement community.     Elliot Lake has great natural beauty with may outdoor activities.  This asset should be marketed to spark interest in the area and tourism. Implement an aggressive policy to attract new businesses.  An increase business will be bring a population increase of all ages.   These increases would produce a city with a sound infrastructure of good roads and new facilities.  A place where the artists and artisans have a permanent place to produce and display their art. Recreation facilities for the youth of the community.  A commercial centre that answers the needs of citizens, so residents do not have to travel to buy essential ...

For Council - Bull, Rick

In the next 10 years, I would like to see Elliot Lake as a community of 13,000+ citizens (more if possible). At least 2 (or more) new industries (either small or medium). A good balance of Seniors, workers, and families. A department store to supply all our basic needs and other retail. Full schools, a venue for the concerts and plays with a museum and Welcome Center as part of it, upgraded parks and better outdoor facilities and trails, with accessibility for all for these areas. Possibly a new hotel/motel. A bustling downtown. No more Elliot Lake known as the city that shuts down at 5 o’clock. Elliot Lake being a year-round Tourism site known province wide. Is it possible? Yes. Here’s how. You must start with a Council that is onboard with all these ideas and some of their own if I missed any. They should have the same vision and able to work together to accomplish this. Encourage more development of housing, both executive and affordable. A Development Charge can be applied to new b...
