Clearview Township wants your ideas on how its Council can communicate better with the public.

The Effective Representation Advisory Committee has created a survey to gather public input about the ways Council could be more effective, accessible and improve communication.

“It’s important that we get information from the public because one part of the committee’s goal is to improve communication between the Councillors, Council and the public,” said Bob Charleton, Vice-Chair of the Committee.

“We hope to get good information back from the public because maybe we will hear things we haven’t considered ourselves.”

The Committee was created in January to define the role of Council as outlined in the Ontario Municipal Act. Since then, it has had five meetings to review Councillors’ salaries and communication strategies. The committee’s goal is to make recommendations to make Council more effective.

Members of the public can get a survey at the municipal office in Stayner, at any branch of the Clearview Public Library and online at www.clearview.ca. The surveys must be completed and returned to the Township (in person, by mail or at any branch of the Clearview Public Library or the Library Book Return Box in Nottawa) by Tuesday, March 21. Clearview will also hold a Town Hall Meeting at the Township Offices in Stayner on Wednesday, March 19 at 7 pm.
