Homeless in Abbotsford, BC (3707 words)
This year let council and city staff adopt a “Can Do” attitude as opposed to their current practice of coming up with a list of excuses on why they cannot do such things as get more grants from senior levels of government to reduce the burden on local taxpayers.
Council will cease functioning merely as a rubber stamp for the bureaucrats of city hall and begin to represent the best interests of the citizens of Abbotsford, demanding senior staff perform their jobs thoroughly and competently rather than allow them to set a standard of “good enough”.
While my friend is correct that the City has come a ways in both awareness and attitude, but there is so much more they must come to perceive, to gain some understanding of and needs that call for action that letting them rest on their “laurels” is just not good acceptable.
