Fall 1993 Dear Neighbours: - THIS election i is the one that COUNTS! | On November 20th you'll select the people y you want to. 0. represen you on Terrace City Council. You'll be looking for honesty, integrity, fairness, accessibility and common sense - qualities I’m sure you'll find in all of the candidates. Experience is the only additional quality I have to offer. Ten years tending io your affairs have given me what, I hope, is a slight edge. During those ten years I’ve always tried to listen carefully while investigating all sides of an issue, considering the possibility of future fallout, and deciding in the best interests of the community as a whole. My ten year track record includes service on all Council committees, fair representation on contentious issues and a profound respect for the preservation of Terrace’s unique and itivaluable quality of life. While the voice of progress may be loud and persistent I believe the voice of the neighbourhood must always be heard! Over the next three years Terrace faces some major issues. Economic development, low-cost housing, environmental responsibility, replacement of aging infrastructure and upgrading or expansion of recreational facilities are just a few of those issues. Facing the challenge is something I look forward to with enthusiasm and confidence. On November 20th I ask that YOU express your confidence § in ME, and sends me back for another term as City Councillor THIS election is the one that COUNTS! a . Thank you. Et Me, Holtoek, For Terrace Councillor Re-elect /HALLOCK, Ruth M.
