Election News Update, Friday October 24/08


Well, things are starting to get interesting, more and more signs are going up and more and more people are trying to "out-guess" each other as to who the next Mayor will be!


I certainly hope that it is myself, I have a number of items and issues that require addressing, not the least of which is downtown parking, shopping hours and store closing. One of my pet peeves is the lack of policing during the day and also evening hours.


An issue that must be addressed is the lack of new development within the city core. Not enough is being done to attract developers interested in multi-family housing.

Another item that requires serious consideration is Regional Policing, how would it affect Duncan City and would there be savings over the present policing costs.


On October 29th there will be an "all-candidates" debate at the Equinox Restaurant, this debate is sponsored by the DBIAS and will feature ideas and issues pertaining to the downtown area.


More to follow:

I have been advised that the Trail Side Pub & Restaurant in Lake Cowichan is up for sale...asking $875,000.00, this facility is a winner for the right entrepeneur. Building is over 3800 sq. ft., 150 feet of waterfront with docks and swimming raft, fabulous views and a 65 plus seat neighborhood pub! What could be better! Even has a positive cash flow! See the photo at upper right.
