Dundas Works hosts roundtable on democracy

Community Apr 27, 2018 Dundas Star News

Dundas Works invites the public to discuss democracy at its sixth roundtable on Thursday, May 24 from 7-9 p.m. at the Dundas museum.

The group will discuss concepts surrounding democratic structure and principles, engagement and positive steps to have community voices heard.

Margot Carnahan, one of the Dundas Works leaders, said it has been a “difficult journey” since amalgamation to have just one local representative at city hall among 15 others.

“One of the reasons Dundas Works exists is to get ahead of the decision-making curve,” said Carnahan. “We hope to frame the conversation proactively with a comprehensive long-term vision for the Valley Town.

“Democracy literally means ‘rule by the people.’ It’s quite natural for people to want to have a say in the decisions that affect their daily lives.”
