Hello Ward Karhiio,It has been a busy Summer! I hope you are taking some time to rest and recharge. Besides some time spent visiting families, I have been focusing on learning more about our public services through hands-on learning experiences these last few months, with various ride-alongs. My team and I are also focused on bringing the many excellent Community-Based Budgeting proposals into Ward Karhiio (exciting announcement coming soon), and taking stock of our priorities and key issues in the community as we gear up for a busy Fall Council schedule and budget.In the meantime, I hope to see you out in the community at the various #YEG festivals and events this month (check them out here)!Stay safe and healthy, Keren
A total of 18 project submissions for the 2nd year of Community-Based Budgeting project were received. The public is invited to listen to the pitches, provide feedback and eventually have the say in what projects receive funding.
Although I don't agree with everything councillor Keren Tang stands for I do appreciate her communications through monthly newsletters, community workshops and coffee chats and her responses to emails.
