Sometimes they play favourites and don’t answer my questions. But I’m continuing the 2014 tradition. For now, I’m only asking about Open Air and will set aside a page just for their Open Air answers – IF they answer.
| the burg watch: As you know, Open Air remains a contentious issue, especially because of Councillor Crain’s motion to not revisit it until the end of this term. Will you remove barriers that deny people with disabilities equal access to the community when streets are closed during Open Air weekends? Dhaval Prajapati: Open Air is clearly an issue that many residents care about. In speaking with people throughout the community, I’ve heard both sides. Some enjoy the atmosphere and activity it brings downtown, while others have concerns that they feel need to be addressed. As someone running for council, I think it’s important to listen to the people affected, understand the different perspectives, and take the time to review the facts before forming a position. One of the reasons I am running is because I believe residents want to feel heard and involved in decisions that affect their community. My approach would be to keep those conversations open, listen carefully, and make informed decisions based on what I hear and learn. |
