Eyes are looking at ways to recover our image and improve the information available to the public, information over the past years being rather sad.
I persuade everyone to visit Eyes on City Hall's blog to keep up to date. Eyes encourage the public to supply suggestions on how to attain greater transparency and accountability from the city. Eyes want to increase their membership, above all, those defeated candidates in the last municipal election who share an interest in municipal government.
It is Eyes aim to be a group who will keep watching our municipal government when no one else is watching. In closing I want to quote an editorial taken from the Vancouver Province in 2005."According to SES Research half of (Canadians) polled have never signed a petition and only21-per-cent have never joined a political party. A stunning 24-per-cent claims they have never been politically active, This was two years ago. Times have changed. More than likely the statistics could be much higher. A good instance of those finding would be right here in Welland.
Eyes feel if the past year is a sign of what the public can expect over the next three years there is reason to be vigilant and concerned.
It is the intention of Eyes to reform, restructure, and monitor. Why not join us if your concerns are as valid as ours?
