This is a quick post to share some of what I have been up to and what I am planning for the next few days as I find my feet.
Thanks for clicking over whether you are doing so on recommendation of Councillor Mason, visiting for the first time, or coming back to see what’s up after the election.
First, I’m working with volunteers to get sorted on an email newsletter. I know some of you had trouble subscribing on the old site, but many have signed up, so stay tuned. We’ll be bringing it all together as soon as possible.
Monday, 21 October:
- turnover meeting with Councillor Mason
- spoke on the phone with Andy Fillmore (Mayor Elect), Patty Cuttell (District 11) and Becky Kent (District 3)
- responded to remaining well-wisher notes on 4 social media platforms (haven’t got to LinkedIn yet and two more voicemails)
- scheduling tasks related to transition away from Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) work, Engineers Nova Scotia volunteer work and booking some time to slow down for a few days (I will take Friday, Saturday & Sunday off)
- another allNovaScotia phone interview
Tuesday, 22 October:
- responded to remaining well-wisher notes on campaign email account
- Engineers Nova Scotia Council meeting (final) and outgoing Councillor recognition meal
- outstanding: emails requesting action, I’ll get to these as I can in between the scheduled activities below
Upcoming:
- 23 – 24 Oct: few more Engineers Nova Scotia events to wrap up my term and work on campaign email action items (schedule resident, stakeholder and fellow Councillor meetings)
- 28 – 29 Oct: coffee meetings, NSCC visit (I’m leaving my position there for this role)
- 30 Oct – 18 November: HRM Council orientation
- 5 November: HRM Council swearing in ceremony (soon after this I should have HRM email and phone number).
- 12 November: first HRM Council meeting
- This is starting to feel real! Thanks everyone, so far so good!
