Lillian Abbott
Councillor Huron -Kinloss
With the passing of the 2014 Munic-
ipal Election, I am taking this oppor-
tunity to thank the electors for the
trust they have placed in me as your
representative on the Council of
Huron Kinloss.
Acclimation to the position is an
honor that few polititions can claim. I
am grateful for your endoresment and I
shall work hard to deserve it.
In the coming term council will be
challenged with rising costs as evi-
denced in the recent policing con-
tract and costs of service delivery. I
will advocate for a fair level of ser-
vices for all electors and respect of
your tax dollars.
Council's priorities are ongoing
with our partnership to bring Natural
Gas Services to Huron Kinloss and
our municipal neighbours. We are
committed to persue all avenues to
bring energy options and efficiencies
to the township.
Likewise our 'Learn More" initia-
tive on Nuclear Spent Fuel continues
with public meetings and open
houses. I urge all residents and ser-
vice groups to get involved in the
learning process.
I look forward to the months ahead
as we head into the new term of office,
working together making Huron Kin-
loss a great place to live, work and grow
our families.
Thank you.
