In 2017, council undertook three community engagement sessions at the farmer’s market, Lakes District Fall Fair and the Lakes District Christmas Craft Fair. During these events, members of the public were encouraged to fill out surveys about village priorities. The majority of respondents (45 per cent) chose infrastructure – water, sewer and street repair – as their number one priority, followed by economic development (40 per cent). Protective services, recreation programming and sustainability initiatives were tied at five per cent. (Lakes District News file photo)
