B次元官网网址淲ith the planning department over the last few years, weB次元官网网址檝e become more community engaged being out in the community more and talking to people then living in View Royal and seeing this opportunity come up, I decided to go for it.B次元官网网址�
There are three items that Flint is focusing on in his platform B次元官网网址� innovative and affordable development, community and economic growth, and open government/public engagement.
B次元官网网址淚 think itB次元官网网址檚 vital to get the input of people who live here in order to act in their best interests,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淚 would like to see people engaged from the get go, especially on municipal projects but more so on some of the private developments.B次元官网网址�
