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 remain turned off.

Note: The publication delay is because this question may also be asked at the scheduled C.A.U.S.E Elliot Lake - All Candidates evening, Wednesday, September 28 - 7:00 PM at Grace Christian Church, 1 College Place, Elliot Lake. The event will also be live-streamed from the C.A.U.S.E Elliot Lake Facebook page. This project intends to complement, not compete with C.A.U.S.E, an important citizens' project.

For the future of Elliot Lake, inform yourself AND VOTE!

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...
