With my term on council coming to a close I wanted to thank the residents of Tahsis for allowing me the privilege of serving as your councilor for the last 4 years. It was a challenging four years with COVID & aging infrastructure but I believe we, as a council, did our best to face the challenges. I’d like to thank the people I worked with and for.
Bill, your knowledge of Tahsis’s history was invaluable and we could always count on you to take a hard look at finances and think about how we could best spend tax dollars. And I want to thank you for keeping a promise you made to me before we got elected…that no matter what was said in our meetings it would not affect how you treated us outside of council.
Cheryl, you may have come to us a bit later but you got up to speed quickly and were a voice of reason often. You also became someone I could talk to about things. Thank you for all you do for Tahsis, including the Library board and the Fire Safety board positions.
Martin, your leadership style took some getting used to but I do appreciate your desire to do what is best for Tahsis. Your roles at the Regional level have served Tahsis well. Thank you for putting Tahsis first.
Sarah, notice I left you to the last as far as council goes, you have amazed me over the last 4 years. Your growth has been incredible. I honestly thought you were going to burn us all out in the beginning but you learned that we can’t do it all at the same time. Your willingness to fail and try again is awe inspiring. Thank you for teaching me patience and for representing Tahsis and all small communities at the provincial level.
Mark, your knowledge and advice has been immeasurable. I appreciate your ability to give both sides without bias. Thank you for all the help over the last 4 years. Tahsis is so lucky to have someone with your expertise without it things like road improvements within Tahsis, flood retention, the dock and hopefully the fire hall would not have been funded by grants.
Finally the citizens of Tahsis, you may not have always agreed with the decisions council made in the last 4 years (that just will never happen) but I think most of you know all of us did it because we wanted what was best for Tahsis. You are about to vote in a new council and I wish that new council all the best. It is not an easy task but it is fulfilling. Thank you Tahsis for the wonderful memories.
