Platform Highlight: Brockville’s Neighbours Analyze the benefits of working closer; cost-sharing services and discussing mutual interests with neighbouring municipalities is in the city’s best interest. Although there has been some progress in a modest expansion of the city’s eastern border, continued discussion and negotiation should take place for the mutual benefit of taxpayers within and outside the city.

Platform Highlight: Infrastructure & Long-Term Fiscal Planning The city’s last planning documents approved by council were a strategic plan in 2009 & a sustainability plan in 2012. These plans need to be reviewed and renewed. Long-term fiscal planning needs to be coordinated with strategic and sustainability planning; all of which must be transparent and shared publically. Priorities, once identified, need to demonstrate they are affordable (proper budget planning) and achie...vable. Our new council is encouraged to develop a mandate document that can be shared publically and focus our priorities for the next 4 years.

It is time the city takes an inventory of services for seniors to ensure that this very important cohort is appropriately supported.
