For Council - Morrissette, Luc D.

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

First, I hope we have a council that is working together. Second I think Elliot Lake needs to work on Waterfront properties. We keep saying it is the Jewel of the North with so many lakes; let’s slowly work on continuing developing this. Next we needed to try to bring some kind of retailer for clothing for families? Maybe we should approach Zellers now to come back to town. If possible we need to increase our tax base with some kind of industry. This is where our economic development department comes into play. It may not have to be big industries, even a few smaller ones is good. We should be looking at companies that are looking at finding a new home and look what we can do to attract them here.

I am hoping to have a new Art Centre and a welcome centre open in a few years. This will help with attraction of new business and residents to town. We need to find serious investors for housing and hotel. Hockey tournaments, Drag racing, baseball, Golf & fishing winter and summer tournaments are a big draw to any towns.

With increase in our tax base, I would like to see more repairs done to our streets and city buildings. Love the new Arena and Pool.

More collaboration with towns in the area could be beneficial to all. If any investors are interested in Elliot Lake, we should look at welcoming them.

In 10 years, I can see Elliot Lake a vibrant community, and I can’t wait for it to develop.

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 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...
