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

Welcome to Elliot Lake Vision 2022

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...
