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.

Welcome to Elliot Lake Vision 2022

"What do you want Elliot Lake to look like in ten years, and how do we get there?" Elliot Lake Vision 2022 is another way for voters and candidates to find each other. It helps level the playing field for those candidates who have a lot to offer us in civic leadership but don't have a large campaign budget and might not have the advantage of "immediate name recognition." Each candidate received the question Sunday morning and has been invited to send a written response by 6:00 pm Wednesday, September 28. Their answer will be kept confidential until Friday, September 30, when they will be published online simultaneously. This allows candidates to  share their vision early in the election campaign in a timestamped, online public space where their best ideas are obviously theirs - not someone else's! After publication, you can promote candidates by sharing a link to their answer either by email or posted on social media however, commenting on the blog will rema...

For Mayor - Marchisella, Dan

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...
