MY PLATFORM
BRING THE INFORMATION TO THE PEOPLE.
Do not make residents hunt for important public information. Bring the information to them.
The principle is simple.
Important public information should find residents, not the other way around. Too much of what matters, decisions, notices, costs, and deadlines, sits buried where almost nobody looks. Modern public communication can fix that.
THE VISION
What residents could see, without hunting
Council decisions
What was decided, what it costs, and what it means, in plain language, delivered to residents.
Public notices
Road closures, service changes, and legal notices that people actually see in time.
Election information
Dates, methods, candidates, and how to vote, without hunting through buried pages.
Emergency information
Urgent updates that reach people where they already are.
Community events
What is happening across Ward 8 and Kawartha Lakes.
Taxpayer information
Budgets, spending, and value questions, explained simply with sources.
Municipal issues
Live issue patterns, like PITA's public map, so problems are visible instead of buried.
AN EXAMPLE
Cube House Media
Cube House Media is one example of the vision: mobile digital media that can bring information directly into the community where people live, work and travel.
Residents should not have to hunt through government websites, long reports and meeting agendas just to understand what their local government is doing. Steve believes we should use modern communication tools to make important public information easier to see and understand.
This is not about replacing official City communication. It is about making public information more visible, understandable and accessible.
Don't make people hunt for the information. Bring the information to the people.
This is Steve's position and example, not an official City of Kawartha Lakes proposal.
ALREADY WORKING
This website is the proof of concept
Steve did not wait to be elected to start. These tools already bring information to residents today.
Information is a service, just like roads and snow removal.
Residents pay for their government. They should never have to dig for what it is doing. Steve's commitment is to keep building and championing channels that deliver public information to the people, clearly, honestly, and on time.
