My vision for Okotoks in 15 to 20 years is focused on the children of our community. We need to be building a community that entices them to stay or return – it needs to be a place where anything can be possible. It is a complete community that appeals to ever life stage they will go thru. We will have a diversified housing market – tiny homes, upscale town houses, small bungalows, single family homes and senior living options that are priced for each lifestyle. Every generation will be able to in Okotoks. Our vibrant and dynamic business community offers exciting and professional work opportunities. The ease of doing business in Okotoks encourages them to become our next generation of entrepreneurs. As a community of innovation we cater to companies that are leading edge and pushing the boundaries of new ideas. They want to make Okotoks home base to test their ideas and showcase them to the world. Diversifying our tax base helps take the burden off our residential taxes and enables us to continue delivering 1st rate services. We have a thriving arts/culture scene, recreational opportunities not only for the competitive athlete but anyone who just wants to play. Calgary is no longer the destination for entertainment, food or work. We are spending our money locally which builds our business base and strengthens our connection to the community. We are a place that dreams big and realizes our possibilities. If this is a vision that resonates with you vote Thorn for Mayor on October 18th. #ThornforMayor #Okotoks#workstilltodo
