We've bought our road and lawn signs, we've bought our our posters and pamphlets -- and we thank everybody for the donations so far -- but we're heading into another phase now of the campaign where we need to do digital advertising online.

So we need to bump up our donations and ask if you can help our campaign with a contribution.

SCAN THE QR CODE to donate and support Peggy's campaign for a United Community with a Bright Future.

Have Your Say. Take my POLL: https://www.peggy4acwcouncil.com/poll

I'M CURIOUS. If you could have additional BUSINESS service(s) in an ACW village or neighbourhood, where would it be, and what business service(s) would you want, i.e. a general store, gas station, restaurant, coffee shop, etc.?

Cyclists are also consumers to farm food stands and pick your own stops. I've heard many comments from residents who want an Active Transportation Corridor along highway 21 between the G2G Trail at MTO Road and Point Farms Provincial Park. Such a corridor would support tourism between the park and the trail, which connects to other ACW routes (and farms), as well as the town of Goderich and the airport.
IF ELECTED to ACW Council, I WILL CHAMPION discussion on creating this Active Transportation Corridor and discussion with other levels of government necessary to get the job done, as well as funding programs to pay for it.

This is an interesting article on how we can reduce WATERSHED impact.

This is an excellent topic!

Would someone understand what your product is, who it’s for and why they should choose it over others… in three seconds or less?

That’s the job your brand has to do, whether you’re at a farmers’ market, selling on social media, or sitting on a retail shelf.

Learn how to build a story around your food product this Thursday, September 10, to in Foodpreneur Advantage's Branding & Marketing Your Food Product webinar.

I participated in my first All Candidates meeting this week. Here's what I learned:

- 165 well-informed constituents showed up even though the weather was questionable (remember the tornado warnings).
- 38 people asked questions of individual candidates ranging from "how will we dispose of wind turbine blades when their life-cycle expires (landfill?)" to "how can we assist the Amish community to vote given they don't have computers or phones for online/phone voting"?

Recurring themes were:

- Residents feel unheard and not included in decisions.
- Residents want access to, and communication with council.
- There is a need to be one, united ACW township community (not one area vs another).
- Lakeshore residents are facing challenges with access from private roads being in poor repair or unplowed resulting in the inability of Emergency Response Services (ERS) to attend (people having to drive the person in need of service to meet the ERS at the end of the road at hwy. #21)
- ACW needs to do more to keep hwy. #21 open during winter storms/road closures (so residents can legally return to their homes and ERS can get through).
- Environmental/Land Stewardship is a priority -- especially water quality and shoreline erosion.
- Access to public beaches is being blocked by private property owners.
- How will we manage infrastructure life-cycles (aging roads and bridges).

I left the meeting impressed with the wealth of knowledge and information in our community; and I will champion ways to create opportunities to regularly engage residents and council in in-person settings.
