For Mayor - Robinson, Geraldine

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 goods.  Establish a venue for entertainment I would like Elliot Lake to return to the vibrant city of the past

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...

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 an...
