Mike O’Connor is hoping to stay in council for a second consecutive term.
O’Connor says he remains very community driven, and a big goal of his if he were to be re-elected is too take a second look at the snow removal process.
“I would like to see safer trails, and a different approach to to snow removal, because we get all of our snow in October, November, December, so Id like to see us take a different approach in the spring because we had three chinooks. So people when they leave for work they are not struggling to get to work, and when they go home after work they are not struggling.”
O’Connor is also making it a goal of his is to look at the system the City of Grande Prairie maintenance workers are using to fill potholes.
“I would also like to see us take a different approach and technology to assist our pothole maintenance people, I think they are working very hard to try and keep up, but it was a challenge this year, it was like somebody was seating potholes all over the place.”
Mike mentioned about how the future of GP is in the hands of the youth and business owners.
“I would really like to see us do in the future for youth and for attracting business, that’s important to me. I’d like to be able to do is get more businesses attracted here and create jobs for our youth.”
The municipal election is set for October 20th.
