Show notes

City Clerks do a lot. And often, it's happening behind the scenes, out of view from the public eye. Without their work, skill, and knowledge, things would not run as smoothly as they do at City Hall. In Welland, the Clerkettes, as Clerk Tara Stephens affectionately refers to her team, is a group of hardworking, dedicated civil servants who handle various portfolios, from elections to parking tickets, weddings to FOIs. So jump in with Tara this week and learn more about what a City Clerk does for a municipality.

Show notes

Maximizing our outdoor recreational spaces comes at increasing importance. Getting outside, using our feet, bikes, and other non-vehicular modes of transportation are becoming more common. And as we use our two feet and a heartbeat more to get around, the City of Welland has emphasized connectivity through the city's trail systems. Approved just before this spring, the Community Trails Strategy is a 20-year plan that looks at how new and existing trail infrastructure can work harmoniously to create a seamless and enjoyable outdoor trail experience for residents and visitors alike. Talking more about the CTS is Rob Axiak, director of community services.
