Community Priorities Survey launching in Okotoks

As if the Town actually cares what people think. Tanya and her crew have their own agendas/priorities, and the people of Okotoks have zero say UNLESS it aligns with Tanya's view. And who exactly thought it would be a great time to inundate people with robo-calls to fill out a survey during a federal election when we're already getting badgered by robo-calls for our votes??? Classic. Read the room, Tanya.

I don't understand the point of an open house other than for the town to pat itself on the back. The general consensus "appears" to be that Okotokians do not want more development. Granted, the houses will sell, the apartments will get renters. However, there is very little industry in Okotoks to support jobs that go above minimum wage. There is one bus daily that takes people to downtown Calgary for work and back to Okotoks. If the town insists on "make it bigger then they'll come" ... we'll just end up as an offshoot of Calgary at some point in the very near future with a bunch of empty office space and industrial warehouses.

With all these "improvements" taking place, has anyone considered that when a train comes through, the traffic circle will essentially be unusable due to cars waiting to cross the tracks? Where oh where will all those cars go Tanya?
This Show & Shine was one of the best events that Okotoks has held. Every nook and cranny along Railway was filled with beautifully restored cars and trucks. There was a great selection of food trucks with something for everyone (albeit a little pricey).

What a sad society we have become that we have to hire security guards so that young people behave in a theatre. Do parents not teach this to their children anymore? What an embarrassment. Those kids should be made to pay for cleanup and damages.
