The holiday season is a special time to reconnect with friends and family, to enjoy some quiet time, to re-charge our batteries for the exciting year ahead.
As we look back on 2011, we can celebrate a number of accomplishments: the unanimous endorsement of the Municipal Development Plan, the opening of Future Forward Place, a new bridge and a new interchange. We're working with our provincial and industry partners to address the number one issue in our region: how we get to and from work on our roads, highways and bridges.
Looking ahead to the early part of 2012, we will debate the much-anticipated City Centre Area Revelopment Plan. Once that is approved, along with the zoning bylaw, you will begin to see the creation of a downtown that will become world-class, an iconic place that will redefine Fort McMurray.
From my family to yours, the very best of the season.
Russell Thomas
Councillor, Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo
