Bluewater Council Issues Report Card

Bluewater council has issued a report card on its first 100 days in office.

Mayor Tyler Hessel explains councillors felt they wanted to be more transparent and improve communications with Bluewater residents. Hessel says the list lets residents know what they've already accomplished, and what they hope to get done in the future.

One item in the works is a working relationship with neighbouring municipalities on things ranging from purchasing equipment to hiring consultants for studies.

Hessel points out it's important that municipalities with common problems start working together to address those problems.

They plan to issue another report after the second 100-day period to keep residents up to date.
