Missing Posts Updated

Hello Citizens of New-Wes-Valley,

Your blogmaster has taken down a couple of posts, and here's why:

1. We had planned to have an open public meeting next week to discuss ongoing issues within our community, but there has been so much negativity over on Facebook that some citizens felt it would be dangerous to hold the meeting now.  So the meeting has been postponed for now.  That post has been removed.  That post has since been republished.

2.  A comment copied from the Facebook page (NWV Concerned Citizens) had been posted here, with a positive comment for our Mayor.  Comments appeared that were not meant to be helpful when commenters have been asked to keep it friendly, and so the whole post is now hidden.  Nasty messages will not be tolerated.  And to be clear, those are the first comments on this blog to have been hidden.  I will still ask you to keep your comments constructive, but that post has since also been republished.

Comments are now reset at 'unmoderated' to ensure that every voice is heard, after a brief time of being moderated.  If your comment went missing during that time (3 comments were deleted) please feel free to rewrite them.  They will be posted automatically.

The blogmaster has no way of knowing who is posting comments anonymously.

There is no us vs. them in this situation; we are all citizens of New-Wes-Valley.  We need to work together.

Questions from Resident

As a concerned citizen of NWV I have questions around th e qualifications of the current CAO, as seen below in a post from the town of NWV   in   May of 2024 it is stated that she is a project manager. According to the Gardner Centre "Fundamentals of Project Management" is a 2 day course and is only one small part of becoming a "Project Manager" with many more requirements to get your Project Management Professional (PMP) designation and be considered a Project Manager. Next is the statement that she is "currently completing her MSc in leadership for Sustainable Rural Development through MUN". I decided to reach out to MUN for some clarification-  this is a copy of the response.     This raises a couple of questions for me. •   Are these the qualifications that were used to promote from the inte rim   CAO position to the full time CAO position? •   Is this individual the one we want representing our town as we are goin...

In Response to the CAO's Response to the 1st Concerned Citizens Newsletter

We've been asked many times about the slides that the Chief Administrative Officer spoke about at the beginning of the March 18th 2025 Council meeting, and we'd like to explain what that was all about. For those of us who know the previous CAO, it was obvious immediately that an attack was being made against her without an opportunity for her to respond.  For those of you who are still in the dark, prepare yourself with a cuppa and read on.  The first set of bullet points blames the previous CAO for mismanaging the town office and the budget, hoodwinking the Council into doing things they didn't want to do, overspending, and even hiring a family member without the Council's approval. The second set of bullet points boasts of savings and underspending, a CAO tough on rules and procedure, and a better qualified office staff in general since the resignation of the previous CAO.  It also makes the Council look guilty of not taking their jobs seriously. Look at the heading d...
