Open Letter to Residents of Ward 1

Dear Friends and Residents of Oak Ridges & Lake Wilcox,

As an expression of gratitude, My wife Mary and I wish to thank all our supporters, neighbours, friends & family for their unwavering support heading into our campaign in Ward 1 throughout the 2018 Municipal Election in Richmond Hill.

It is encouraging when people open their doors, their hearts and their minds and express what their concerns are for our outstanding community. Your concerns and feelings about how things are and how they ought to be have been heard, and you may be assured that when chosen by you to be your Councillor in Ward 1, your concerns will be known in our Town Hall.

Our seniors are especially concerned about the location of our Town Hall. Many of them experience great difficulties getting to our Town Hall because of its present location.

A majority of us are in favour of having the Town Hall relocated to Yonge and Major MacKenzie. Our Municipal Offices need to be relocated to Yonge and Major MacKenzie so that they are easily accessible to all residents. Many envision a Town Hall as a meeting place where we may have an open skating rink in the winter and a centre to celebrate our spring, summer and fall festivities. A Town Hall ought to be a place of congregation where we celebrate being part of one community and where we may administer the day-to-day necessities of municipal affairs.

Long-term ideas for addressing traffic congestion in Richmond Hill are as follows. You have stated to me that in the long term, we as a Municipality need to work together with our neighbouring Municipalities, Provincial/Federal Governments and Industry to come up with proactive solutions to tackle traffic congestion.

Greater investment towards rapid public transit is essential. Many have pointed out that in downtown Calgary for instance, public transit is free. We need to come up with similar incentives that lead more people to using our state of the art public transit system, and what they have established in Calgary may also work for us as well.

For every problem, there are many more solutions. We simply need people (Councillors, M.P.P.'s and M.P’s) who are willing to work together and do what it takes to bring all the players (Municipal, Provincial/Federal governments and industry) together to come up with viable solutions to any given problem. Our seniors require additional care facilities. With an aging population on the horizon, we need to provide and support our seniors with more adequate local facilities to assist them with their daily requirements.

We need to attract business and industries to Richmond Hill. A great number of residents stated the need to attract leading edge industry that invest in their employees by way of high compensation, and that also invests in our community by way of sponsorship programs, donations and taxes. One example of the types of business that is encouraged in our community is multinational, national and local Hi-Tech and Renewable/Green Industries that will enrich our community.

We need to capitalize and continue to promote the fact of our strategic location in the GTA. We also need to continuously reiterate the fact that we are amongst the best of places to live and work in Canada according to recent national studies.

Our combined long-term objective for Richmond Hill is to continuously strive towards a long-term vision that celebrates and protects the sanctity of our life, and the environment that sustains our health and well-being. We need to do everything possible to save what is left of our priceless Moraine.

Our Town may achieve everything we set our collective mind to achieving. We may achieve this and so much more by providing exemplary customer service to nurture the vibrant mosaic of our outstanding community. We need to continuously strive towards perfection by ensuring all essential services required by the people who call Richmond Hill their home, are made available in a professional manor that shows respect and accountability to the taxpayer. This ladies and gentlemen, is but a small glimpse of what we envision for our marvelous town.

On October 22nd, every vote counts. Please come out to vote for our community.

Respectfully,

Trifon Haitas Candidate for Councillor, Ward 1
