LAC STE. ANNE AND COMMUNITIES
RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION
(A NOT-FOR-PROFIT SOCIETY)
Our Society was formed during the time when we were forced to do several petitions for the right to vote on the Administration Building. Due to bureaucratic inefficiencies and a lack of want by the CAO to work with and for the people, the petitions,( although later proven by our group to be sufficient), were stuck so long in the hands of Municipal Affairs, that the building was already partially constructed.
We have continued since 2016 as an organization to strive for:
L ines of Communication made better with County, especially support staff
S ustainability of County Practices (Asking for county to look to the future)
A ccountability (constantly asking the tough questions and publishing answers)
R esponsibility by County both fiscally and to the ratepayers as a whole
A dvocating for Transparency
