First, I’ve seen the constant abuse of our water. Green grass and swimming pools are not important, having water for our town is!
the Craven Community Center was built by the people of Craven many years back. We are all very proud of it. Somehow our hall flooded and created a horrific mess and a big expense to fix. We can’t know how or who was responsible for this!
Our Seniors, the pillars of our Community, are given a nice supper so they can spend time with the other Seniors. That was taken away, and instead, a day at the local skating rink and a hot dog. Really these are our seniors. A Hot Dog!
We have a nice cemetery in Craven. Many of our family and friends are there. My husband and I maintain the graves of many up there. The council of the past knew this, along with the town man. Our graves, along with friends, were left in a horrific state. The grass whipper-snipped to the dirt. The beautiful solar lights are broken and smashed all over, and the flowers were cut off. It broke my heart to see the mess and destruction. I ask this, exactly who was responsible? The council had no answer. As for an apology, that didn’t happen. Really, if it had been one of their family or friends, would the council raise hell over it? I’m pretty sure they would!
People, I’ve written this because we’re to vote in a new mayor in a by-election. Please get out and vote. We need change in our community. It’s time for a change.
Yours truly, Brenda Black, Craven, SK
