About the CBC Story Today

Dear Blog Readers, This morning I read a story by CBC Journalist Jenna Head; you can find it here . The story is full of misinformation.  The writer doesn't even know where New-Wes-Valley is- that's how little work she put into that story.  'Near' Bonavista Bay?  🙄   I would like to point out that they did not contact this blogger's email, and so the statement about anyone not being willing to be interviewed is a big fat lie.  And yes, I checked the spam box.  Nothing. I'd love to hear your feedback about the story.  Anonymously or with your names, or a pseudonym, whatever you're comfortable with.

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.

Updated Post about So-Called Unreasonable Behavior

[Previously published on April 23rd, 2025] We remain committed to respectful, peaceful dialogue with our municipal government.  Unfortunately, the Town Council has placed new restrictions on Concerned Citizens under their  Unreasonable Behavior By-Law : 1. We may only contact Town staff in writing, via the front desk. 2. Duplicate or non-actionable follow-ups will not receive a response. 3. Legal action may be considered if Town staff or officials feel harassed or defamed. We also regret to share that our request to meet with Council was declined. Despite these challenges, we will continue advocating for our community with integrity and transparency. Questions about this matter should be directed to the Town Office. #ConcernedCitizens #CommunityMatters #CivicEngagement For full disclosure, you can see the letter from our Mayor received last week below: [Updated May 10th, 2025] Now that the minutes of the Town Council Meeting held on April 15th are posted publicly o...
