for council. Um we're going to go in

7
00:00:48,559 --> 00:00:55,239
alphabetical order. So, we'll be
starting with Alan Goodell.

8
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:04,720
Uh well, good evening and thank you for
letting me talk to you this evening. Um

9
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:10,720
last couple days I've racked my brain
trying to figure out what I'm going to

10
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:15,119
talk about. It's uh but I think I mean
most of you I know most you know at

11
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:18,799
least fairly well we went small together
and of course we're on the committee

12
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:22,080
together and and I've talked to pretty
much every one of you over the last

13
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:28,080
couple years we've been back up here but
I want to I want to go back and talk

14
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:31,640
about my beginnings and with that in
mind it's going to give you an idea of

15
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:37,119
what I can bring to the
table. Um, I grew up here. I grew up in

16
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:42,079
Bruce Mines, went to Cass, married
Deborah Girl, and moved to southern

17
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:47,119
Ontario where I worked for a John Mo
dealership for the last 30 some odd

18
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:53,439
years. However, in doing so, I also um
worked along with many um committees uh

19
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:58,240
like for instance Jarvis Cornfest. I was
involved with numerous committees on

20
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:02,719
that. I I belong to different uh uh
board of directors for clubs and

21
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:08,080
associations as well as I became vice
president and president of the largest

22
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:12,640
beekeeping association in Ontario. Um of
course I became a widowerower about

23
00:02:10,399 --> 00:02:17,040
eight years ago and that changed a lot
of my plans and I got remarried and lo

24
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,840
and behold my wife decided that she
loved up here in northern Ontario again.

25
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:25,280
So we started the plan of moving back
home and I and I have my entire life

26
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:29,360
I've considered this home. People ask
me, "Where am I from?" I said, "Well,

27
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:32,720
Northern Ontario." And I realize that if
we're in if we're talking to somebody in

28
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,720
Thunder Bay, this is not northern
Ontario. But when you're talking to

29
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:42,400
someone in Hamilton, this is Northern
Ontario. And I love it up here. I really

30
00:02:38,239 --> 00:02:47,200
do. Um, anyways, with the the different
things that I've been involved in, um,

31
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:52,080
specifically, uh, when I was president
of the Beekeeping Association, I learned

32
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:56,959
that when I ask 20 people the same
question, I get 40 answers. And what

33
00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:03,680
does that allow me to be able to do? I I
I actually was able to sit down with a

34
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:08,239
group of people with different ideas and
different opinions and sort through to

35
00:03:06,239 --> 00:03:13,000
get a resolution to work. And this
happened numerous times over the years.

36
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:21,480
Um
the so again the idea that uh working

37
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:27,360
with a group as a team and resolving
situations is kind of really one of my

38
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,920
goals. That's going to move me into what
I would like to accomplish as a council

39
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:37,360
member if I if I'm allowed that
opportunity. and uh I already belong to

40
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,560
the the committee for uh economic
development and tourism and I actually

41
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,159
really love the way that we're going
with that the the direction we're moving

42
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:48,159
in. I'm seeing little improvements here
and there and and it's it's actually

43
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:53,519
quite a bit of fun. I'm I'm really
enjoying that and all I really would

44
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:59,280
like to do is in the grand scheme of the
entire town, but to move forward with

45
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:04,400
with the direction we're going, you
know, just be another positive voice and

46
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:09,799
a helping hand. And that's really all I
want to accomplish out of this. Thank

47
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:09,799
you.

48
00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:17,560
Next, Shane Lance.

49
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:28,639
Apologize. I'm slow. I broke my leg
three weeks ago. Still going.

50
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:34,160
Oh, well, council members, um, the
reason I'm here today is because, um, I

51
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:41,120
grew up in this town. Um, I'm a fourth
generation Good Murphy Le France. And

52
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:45,280
um when the position came open, I
figured that you know it was my time to

53
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:50,560
come back to the community. Um same as
my colleague here said, you know, I went

54
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:54,479
away for a while. I'm recently back and
when I got back, I started to notice,

55
00:04:52,320 --> 00:05:00,320
you know, things that have changed and
things that have changed are tourism,

56
00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:06,720
it's down, right? That's something we
need to work on. Um crime, specifically

57
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:11,120
drugs is up. That's something that needs
to be worked

58
00:05:08,039 --> 00:05:16,400
on. I am not a politician. I will never
claim to be a politician. I don't have

59
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:22,240
any political aspirations beyond this
forum here. Um my interest specific rely

60
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:26,039
on this community, building this
community back to what it used to be,

61
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:30,160
right?
Um and that's pretty much all I've got.

62
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:34,240
I mean, I don't have full five minutes.
I'm sorry. Like I said, I'm not a

63
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:38,039
politician.
Thank you. Thank you.

64
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,440
And next we have

65
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,000
Good evening
everybody. I do like to talk so you

66
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,000
might have to come

67
00:05:50,280 --> 00:06:00,720
up. Um so a little bit about me. I was
born and raised in Echo Bay. Um I've

68
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:05,280
lived in Bethlon for 10 plus years. My
husband um was born and raised in

69
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:10,160
Bethlon. We both work locally. He works
for Tele Engineering. I work for

70
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:16,800
Brookfield in War Cliff. Um, we're
raising a 10-year-old son in this

71
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:22,479
community and we really like raising a
child in this community. Um, we have a

72
00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:27,520
great hockey program here. We have
excellent recreation programs. There's a

73
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:33,120
lot of positive things for our youth and
I would love the opportunity to help and

74
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:37,759
build on that. Um, I grew up on a farm,
so you know, I am not afraid to get

75
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:43,680
dirty, help out, do the things that have
to be done. Um, as far as my experience

76
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:50,400
in any sort of situation like this, um,
my direct experience, I've worked for a

77
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:56,560
local municipality, um, as a treasurer,
but also as a acting clerk, um, and in

78
00:06:54,319 --> 00:07:01,599
several different roles. When you work
in a small municipality, you wear a lot

79
00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:08,479
of hats. So um I think I bring a unique
perspective. Um I bring knowledge uh and

80
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:14,319
not really needing much of a learning
curve. I know how municipal government

81
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:19,880
works. My father was on council in Aqua
Bay for 30 plus years. So I'm used to

82
00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:25,759
the meetings. You know, I ran meetings.
I did minutes. I worked on the other

83
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:31,919
side of the table that council works on.
Um, I'm well aware of how a small

84
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:36,800
municipality such as this has very
little control over their big items in

85
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:41,120
their budget. So, I'm not looking to
come in here and reinvent the wheel. I'm

86
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:45,599
looking to come in and be a compliment
to the rest of you. I can see on the

87
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:51,280
wall here there's a huge list of
highlights from last year and I would

88
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:59,599
love to help, you know, grow more of
this. I think that's amazing. Um

89
00:07:55,160 --> 00:08:03,680
so I as far as indirect um experience
that I have I worked in the construction

90
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:07,599
field I worked for a small family
construction company. I worked for uh

91
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:14,319
Krillian when they built the highway
through Echo Bay. So I do have some

92
00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:19,560
infrastructure knowledge um and you know
knowledge on

93
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:28,000
uh you know budget budgetary things for
infrastructure. Um and as far as why I

94
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:33,599
would like to join and why I think I'd
be a good fit. Um, one other thing that

95
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:39,519
I want to mention is that I do find a
lot in small municipalities there is a

96
00:08:35,599 --> 00:08:45,279
lack of diversity on councils. Um, I
would love to be another woman on

97
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:50,560
council. Um, I would love to be a role
model to young girls in this community

98
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:55,279
that they can also be a part of local
governance and you know they don't need

99
00:08:53,200 --> 00:09:00,560
to think that it's it's a male role
only. Um, so like I said, I'm not

100
00:08:58,959 --> 00:09:05,760
looking to come in and reinvent the
wheel and lower taxes or do any of those

101
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:09,920
things. I think the way that council has
gone in the last several years, they've

102
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:13,839
been doing amaz you've all been doing
amazing things and I would like to be a

103
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,839
part of that.
Okay.

104
00:09:26,560 --> 00:09:33,200
Good evening folks. Uh, thank you for
the opportunity to come and speak to you

105
00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:37,040
today. I will say that I'm not much of a
public speaker. I think if any of you

106
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:40,800
know my wife, and I think you all do,
she's a speaker in the family, but uh,

107
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:45,160
I'll do my best. I prepared a little
something to guide me. So, uh, hopefully

108
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:49,839
we get through it. Okay, bear with me.
Um so we we just arrived in the

109
00:09:47,839 --> 00:09:53,880
community um a little over two years
ago. Uh we live down in southern

110
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:59,120
Georgian Bay.
Um we wanted to move to somewhere I I

111
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:02,880
spent most of my life living on or
around water. Um so we wanted to come

112
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:07,839
somewhere where we could still live on
the water. Um believe it or not was the

113
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:12,480
closest to us that we could actually
still afford. Um so when we come up here

114
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:19,360
and we looked at the house uh first time
coming into the

115
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:23,360
community immediately felt a familiarity
uh and just a sense of comfort here. So

116
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:26,880
when we moved in it's been very
comfortable since then. Uh one of the

117
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:31,200
first contacts that we had when we got
here uh were Bill and Janine Rosenberg.

118
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:35,279
They were nice enough to come to our
house brought us a nice gift basket and

119
00:10:33,839 --> 00:10:39,240
welcomed us to the community which was
very nice. And uh we very shortly after

120
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:44,240
became
friends. Uh my wife was fortunate enough

121
00:10:41,839 --> 00:10:50,399
as you know uh while we were still in
the process of moving here the job

122
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:55,360
vacancy to town for an administrative
assistant and Maria applied and was

123
00:10:52,079 --> 00:11:00,320
fortunate enough to get that. Um so in
that we were we've now become acquainted

124
00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:06,480
with all of you uh with the town with
the council how things work.

125
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:11,600
Um, and for my own part, um, I was a few
months later moving up. Um, I'm

126
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,720
self-employed. I'm a contractor. I was
fortunate enough to connect with a local

127
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:18,560
guy here named Steve Netherton. I think
we all know. Um, Steve and I have been

128
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:23,519
working together for the last two years.
It's been a great experience. Uh, it's

129
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:27,839
allowed me to meet many other people,
contractors, suppliers, and everything

130
00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:32,640
in the community and, uh, forged some
good new relationships, all of which has

131
00:11:30,079 --> 00:11:36,079
been very positive.
uh that along with the rest of the other

132
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:40,880
people that we've met since we've been
here in the town um has really cemented

133
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:47,440
for us that this is where we're going to
be for the rest of our

134
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:52,000
time. Um and also it inspired me to get
active in the community which is

135
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:57,360
something when I lived in the islands
and stuff like that we never had this

136
00:11:54,480 --> 00:12:02,320
kind of there were no councils there
were no nothing that we could access

137
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:06,079
anyway. So, um, so I kind of wanted to
get involved somehow. So, I started

138
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:09,120
volunteering first thing. Uh, got
involved with the town of a special

139
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:13,600
events committee, helped with things
like the Easter egg hunt for the kids at

140
00:12:10,639 --> 00:12:17,360
Peace Park. Um, did some traffic control
for the community day parade,

141
00:12:14,959 --> 00:12:22,800
volunteered for that. Uh, donated a
trailer for community day that they ran

142
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:26,880
their cotton candy thing out of. um also
got involved with the trails committee

143
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:32,240
um prior to its opening and did some
work on the trails with boardwalks and

144
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:36,480
whatnot. And um this past year Marie and
I both joined the drilling club here um

145
00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:41,920
got involved in that and I volunteered
with the um ice crew doing the ice prep

146
00:12:38,959 --> 00:12:45,920
and maintenance on the ice club. All of
these experiences have been very

147
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:50,480
positive for me. Um they've all just
reinforced that sense of belonging here.

148
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:54,440
um just made us feel that much more
comfortable and it motivated me to maybe

149
00:12:52,480 --> 00:13:01,360
want to get involved a little higher
level. Um so uh I also applied to the

150
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:06,240
fire department to be a volunteer that
application still

151
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:11,360
pending. Uh but then this uh position
came up with vacancy on council and I

152
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:14,440
decided to fly for that to get involved.
Uh so some of my past experience I think

153
00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:19,720
that
that may add to uh something that I can

154
00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:24,360
tribute here are are as
follows. I have had extensive experience

155
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:28,040
uh in municipal water treatment
distribution. I worked for the town of

156
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:32,880
Middle for eight years as a water
operator. During that time I held

157
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:36,320
multiple envir environmental licenses uh
water treatment level one, water

158
00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:40,800
distribution and supply level two,
wastewater treatment level one. I also

159
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:45,040
held Blackwood Place testing
certificate. I was responsible for the

160
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,880
day-to-day operations of the town's
water system during that time which

161
00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:52,240
included daily maintenance and operation
treatment plants, taking of water

162
00:13:50,639 --> 00:13:56,800
samples from the wellsight treatment
areas, drug distribution system, and the

163
00:13:54,959 --> 00:14:02,000
ongoing maintenance and repair of the
distribution system. This included many

164
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:05,360
different aspects. Anything from the
repair and installation of individual

165
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:09,600
water services to homes and businesses
to water main repair, supervising

166
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:14,240
installation and testing of new
infrastructure by contractors, expansion

167
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:18,320
and installation of new pumping and
treatment systems and maintenance of

168
00:14:15,839 --> 00:14:22,639
storage tanks, reservoirs, and many
other duties associated with that

169
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:29,360
municipality water system. I still
currently hold a certificate of Q for

170
00:14:25,839 --> 00:14:33,120
plumbing and a gas 2 license.
I've also had experience working with

171
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,360
council. Um I worked for the city of
Barry for a period of time. I was hired

172
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:44,000
there
to create a backflow prevention bylaw

173
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:50,079
for the city. Uh I was also uh tasked
with writing and instituting a backflow

174
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:57,519
prevention program for the city. Um so
that involved um of course creation

175
00:14:53,360 --> 00:15:04,480
policy. Um it also had involved
extensive uh we had to do an extensive

176
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:07,519
public role of um to the public which uh
required education and information

177
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:13,040
sessions with local contractors,
business owners and the public at large.

178
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:17,279
Um, this also led to me being involved
on some committees such as the Ontario

179
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:22,040
Waterworks Association and also the
Ontario Plumbing Inspectors Association

180
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:26,800
which involve shaping an information
implementation of provincial water

181
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:31,519
regulated provincial water related
regulations and plumbing code

182
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:35,120
changes. I've had a lot of experience
with marine and marine operations as

183
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,560
well. I spent a good part of my life
living and working on Georgia Bay. My

184
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:41,880
parents owned and operated a fishing
lodge there for more than 45 years,

185
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:47,040
which is where I was born and
raised. Um, prior to moving to

186
00:15:44,639 --> 00:15:51,199
Thessalon, I spent 14 years as a manager
caretaker for a place called Tadak

187
00:15:49,199 --> 00:15:56,800
Fishing Club. They're a private members
club on southern Georgia Bay. They own

188
00:15:54,480 --> 00:16:02,000
approximately 20 square miles of land
and water on Georgia Bay. Um there I was

189
00:16:00,079 --> 00:16:05,920
responsible for the general maintenance
of the entire club which included all

190
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:11,199
its building, mechanical systems, docks,
remote facilities and all related

191
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:16,000
equipment such as a bleed of 14 boats,
uh various pieces of lawn equipment, a

192
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:20,079
scoot or airboat, chainsaws and other
associated equipment. I was also

193
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:25,279
responsible for the club's day-to-day
operations uh which included in the

194
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:29,680
springtime training of staff uh through
the summer supervising that staff

195
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:33,519
providing transportation logistics for
all people and supplies coming to and

196
00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:38,000
from the island and also leazing with
the club's executive to ensure a smooth

197
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,680
operation.
Um, I was also responsible for

198
00:16:39,839 --> 00:16:46,240
patrolling that 20 square miles of
property and enforcing there no

199
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:52,240
trespassing because it's private
property in its entirety, including the

200
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:55,360
water. Um, that involves sometimes
contact with the public. It can be a

201
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:59,040
little unpleasant because people don't
like to be told that they can't be

202
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:04,880
somewhere, particularly when they're on
the water. Um so that gave me some

203
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:11,199
experience in um those kinds of
confrontations and uh you know sometimes

204
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:15,120
deescalating sometimes trying to find
diplomatic

205
00:17:12,360 --> 00:17:20,160
solutions. Uh so a little bit of a
public liaison there. Uh I think I also

206
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:25,360
have the ability to be a critical
thinker. I can see situations from both

207
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:29,760
sides and I able to draw non-biased
conclusions.

208
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:34,160
And lastly, I think being self-employed
gives me the flexibility to be here when

209
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:39,520
I need to be here. Um, to build a seat,
let's say. Um, so to wrap things up, um,

210
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:43,919
this is the place, like I say, we've
decided to make our home for the rest of

211
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:48,880
our time. Um, and I think I can make a
positive contribution to this council

212
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:52,960
and get involved in, you know, helping
to maybe shape the town's future a

213
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:56,320
little bit and ensure that it's a viable
community going forward.

214
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:12,080
Hey staff

collection of candidates making it a

00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:46,799
