If the public is "to participate more [in government] than just via the ballot box, then they need proper access to information"

Good morning Darce - thank you for the opportunity to give you my

position on this very important part of government. I will keep this very

short but let me say that I am disgusted with the amount of secrecy I have

seen in the running of HRM Council in the past few years. The entire

Games bid & the wall of secrecy surrounding the building of the now

$15,000,000 Fall River Rec Centre (paid for by an area rate) are a few

examples.


On a smaller scale I am the Executive Director and Treasurer of a Minor

Baseball Association for 400 kids, I post in plain sight every year our

entire financial statement on our website for everyone to see, the last

5 years are there (www.eteamz.com/lwf). As the Secretary of the LWF

Fire/Community Hall I introduced the motion to post all Meeting Minutes

on the Hall wall after every meeting. These are just examples but I

absolutely believe in the citizens right to know. Its our money and

our country!


Thanks, Barry Dalrymple

Candidate for District 2 Councillor
