Local Mayan calendar followers, consider 2012 your final call to contribute to this community we all call home. With 930+ facebook friends, 330+ twitter followers and 450+ email contacts, the Hamilton Civic League has tremendous potential to mobilize our community to take action towards building the inclusive, equitable, sustainable and prosperous city we all desire. If we hope to achieve our goals, we must accept responsibility to continuously direct our locally elected officials and the approximate 6000 City staff to attend to our needs, as we prioritize them.
The Hamilton Civic League is committed to working with our members and partner organizations to identify and prioritize widely held community values and to clearly communicate with local government to ensure our priorities are acted upon. The Hamilton Civic League will conduct a 2012 Values and Priorities Survey from which the results will be used to assess current City priorities. Our Let’s Call City Hall communications campaign encourages the community to maintain an ongoing connection to City Hall. We will applaud local government when decisions are made in support of widely held values, and alert the community to take action when government actions are at odds with our priorities. Finances are a critical component to the overall success of every community but not the only factor determining our quality of life. It is however extremely important to monitor if and how our tax dollars are being used to improve quality of life for all residents. The Hamilton Civic League invites members and partner organizations with financial expertise to contribute to our Let’s Follow Our Money project team.
Make 2012 the year we unify our voices to assist local government to build the City we desire. Please invite your family and friends to join the Hamilton Civic League today.
