Social Development Strategy

9 components
� Public Safety
� Health & Wellness
� Recreation
� Culture
� Arts
� Heritage
� Literacy
� Education
� Housing

The policy development will assess:

� Where are we today
� Where do we want to go
� How do we get there

Completion is scheduled for late Spring 2008.

I thought those elements have all been responsibilities of a number of authorities. Perhaps they did not play well together?

Ya, PG is just busting out at the seams so we really need another finger in the pie. How did we ever get along without a Social Coordinator?

Where's the Social Coordinator going to sit in the City Council chambers? We could send Tom Madden home and give her his chair?

I guess there aren't enough people at the trough at city hall. $75,000.00 per year. What a waste.
