Citizens of New-Wes-Valley

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.  

  Here's a reminder for all of you to mark October 2nd in your calendars to get out and vote for your favourite candidates running for office in New-Wes-Valley!

I would like to remind you of the reasons this blog was first set up, and encourage you to send in information to share with all citizens of New-Wes-Valley.   This site is meant as a tool to reach out to all stakeholders in our town, including the many people who do not wish to use Facebook.  Here's how you can take part: comment on posts email your thoughts to newwesvalleycitizens.haveyoursay@blogger.com for publication share this webpage with other citizens of New-Wes-Valley attend municipal meetings- see the calendar for when the meetings are happening share information about your busi...

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 r...
