Callander mayoral candidate Daryl Vaillancourt says he supports the community’s Strategic Plan Vision of Callander as "a vibrant, financially sound community where residents enjoy living, working, and playing while having services and amenities that meet the needs of all residents."
In a news release, Vaillancourt called Callander "a gem that provides four seasons of spectacular opportunities for both land and water-based recreation."
He says will ensure that "Council and staff always keep Callander’s distinct charm and sense of place front of mind in all deliberations that affect the municipality."
"While Callander may have a relatively small population, we enjoy natural and man-made attractions that draw people from around the globe and make us the envy of many much larger communities. I embrace our history and the thoughtful efforts of those individuals and groups that made Callander this special place we call home. I do believe that we are on the threshold of opportunity for planned growth that integrates seamlessly into our existing community fabric and preserves what is near and dear to us all."
Vaillancourt says he believes that Council should do more to support and protect residents with well-thought-out policies that are both environmentally and financially sustainable.
"You will hear me talk a lot about community because I feel very strongly that the role of the mayor and council involves safeguarding those aspects of our community that make us special while not being afraid to roll up our collective sleeves and work hard to improve those areas that need improvement."
