7. Additional comments: Ashcroft is a beautiful town to ‘live; work; and play’. I see this description used elsewhere, but my choice to live in the Village of Ashcroft is because I believe it fits our town.
My coined description for my hometown to people is: “We get to live every day the way City Folks want to spend their weekends.”
I’ll listen to all of Ashcroft’s citizens to make our town the best place to live. It is by choice we live here and I want it to continue for years by keeping services available for our needs. Planning ahead for the next challenge or upgrade needed. Helping set a direction we can afford and meet our requirements.
Please come out to vote for our Village of Ashcroft Council’s future.
If elected I will stand up for our Town, our People, our Businesses, our quality of Life.
Alfie Trill for Village of Ashcroft Councillor.
