22Enough there is no accountability so stop giving our money away. Welcome to life make the hill users pay if they don’t want to pay cut costs or close it down. Now that is simple.I just saved the taxpayers $100,000 and I’m a taxpayer here in North Bay as well.

25Vote to take over Castle Arms (a registered charity) because of no public oversight, yet give to the Ski Hill no questions asked.

18I'm trying to understand how spending more money on hwy 17 between North Bay and Sudbury will stop tail-gating and aggressive driving. We are spending too much money already trying to childproof our highways from stupid drivers.

23Transparency should be the only way we conduct business in North Bay when using public funds to support the organization. If you don’t want to report to the general public open your own private business and use your own funds. Thank you Tanya, “ 'I don’t agree with a third year of subsidizing the ski hill without providing some kind of report or something to the public,' Councillor Tanya Vrebosch stated during a recent meeting of Council.”

23Why isn't there a plan to offer something during the warmer months to make up for this never ending shortfall of money: like Extreme Mountain Biking or Ziplining?Normal businesses close if they don't adjust.

Residents invited to help shape future of North Bay’s downtown waterfront
19Enough is enough. The volunteers do a fantastic job and deserve all the credit in the world. Lets look at the city as a whole, and not just the two parts that get all the work. Downtown is loaded with flowers to the point we use how many man hours to take care of them all. Where do all those man hours go in the winter when one can barely access downtown. We have people on the streets that don't even have water on the +30 days, but you will always see someone driving around on a John deere making sure the plants have water and VACUUMING downtown. Meanwhile everyone is dodging potholes all over town. Drive anywhere near the glass whitehouse and you wont see a weed or plant out of place.

20"Vital regional asset or not" -ANY business,company, etc. should have to divulge where the Grants from our City are used - whether public info. or just for Council - it should and MUST be provided - all of them. Am totally fed up with this nonsense. A passive person myself I am liking someone's suggestion of our withholding our property Taxes .. what else can we do to convey our dismay and dislike of things a ten year old child could figure out!! Whether municipal, provincial or federal money - it all comes from the SAME place - taxpayers! Quit hiding things!

17Unless you mean every driver in Ontario...highway tractors are part of the problem, but there is lots of blame to go around.

19Well Tanya, the water bill for the ski hill is likely 100,000 dollars. Turn the area at the bottom of the hill into a holding pond for snow making, and there would be savings. I don't think any other hill uses city water to make snow.

Minster of Education launching investigation into Near North School Board
16Show me a shred of evidence for what you are saying. From closing widdifield instead of Chippewa, falsely claiming first nations were consulted and wanted Chippewas name changed, and now this shell game with Parry Sound schools, I'd say an investigation is in order. I would guess the director didn't go to the meeting where am investigation was called for intentionally to void that meeting and frustrate the will of the people.Playing games with the education of our children is a terrible thing. Like I said in an earlier comment, they seem to be competing with City Council in North Bay for worst management awards

Council to decide on 9-1-1 service agreements with police board and Bell
17The person sitting in the mayor’s seat, does not have a right to vote. We as the citizens of North Bay who pay taxes have requested numerous times that Peter has to step down! He’s already admitted to speaking from us. Why is he still in that building? He should not have access to any financial information or make any decisions STEP DOWN NOW PETER or the city must TERMINATE him. This is not going away. What is happening with the OPP?

North Bay councillor pushes back on Castle Arms motion ahead of tonight's meeting
13I would like to know how much rent tenants are paying and what the criteria is for qualifying for "affordable rent". Other Social Service boards require disclosure of assets as well as income, but there is no requirement to disclose assets in Nipissing unless one is applying for "Rent Geared to Income". No matter who is in control, the rules should support getting the most needy people housed rather than those who can manipulate their income for any particular year.
