The Mayor's Office is pleased to announce the launch of a new
initiative, townhallSTC, aimed at providing residents with a
dedicated platform to voice their concerns, interact with the
Mayor, and connect with their Ward Councillors.
The inaugural townhallSTC meeting is scheduled for November
13th from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM at the Grantham Lion's Club. This
event will allow residents to discuss specific issues affecting
their community and collaborate with their local leaders.
Mayor Mat Siscoe explained the initiative’s goal, stating,
"townhallSTC is designed to foster open communication and
collaboration between residents and their local government."
This initiative opens the doors for resident involvement in
shaping the future of their Wards, ensuring that local voices are
heard.
Deputy Mayor Bill Phillips added, "This initiative reflects our
commitment to transparency and community engagement. We
want to hear from residents directly and work together to
address their concerns."
Grantham Ward Councillor Dawn Dodge also expressed her
support, saying, "I encourage everyone to come out and share
their thoughts. This is a valuable opportunity for residents to
influence the issues that matter most to them."
Following the Grantham Ward meeting, subsequent
townhallSTC sessions will be held in Port Dalhousie, St. Patrick's,
Merritton, St. George's, and St. Andrews, facilitating
engagement across the city.
Residents of Grantham Ward are encouraged to attend this
important meeting to address their concerns, share insights,
and work together towards enhancing the quality of life in their
neighbourhood.
