William Kozub believes a new fire hall for Lake Country is unnecessary.

I donsa国际传媒檛 think they should be spending that much money, I donsa国际传媒檛 think it should be going where it is. It should be central. We donsa国际传媒檛 have the money,sa国际传媒� said resident William Kozub.

He said sidewalks and roads around Woodsdale Road are in need of maintenance and wheelchair residents at CONNECT Lake Country arensa国际传媒檛 able to get to Tim Hortons without using the bus because they are unable to safely get up the road.

Polls are open until 8 p.m. at George Elliot Secondary.
