New Tecumseth has large growth plans as many of us saw proposed earlier in the…

We need to pay attention to towns that have shown success with this. There's always a community that has already gone through it. We need to learn from them. We also have to get better at predicting the future rather than responding to it when it happens (Proactive rather than Reactive). Have our EcDev figure out the next "wave". We should be willing to pilot things as well. An example of thinking ahead: What is the next step for telecommunications? It will get faster right? What if New Tecumseth somehow becomes the fastest internet speeds in Canada? We could attract plenty of new residents with good salaries that have the option to work from home! As it stands now we are more of a bedroom community and this takes it's toll. Parents drive to the city work, drive home, and then take their children to a sport or activity. These parents probably aren't feeling much like coaching or volunteering after such a long day, long week, long month. How many of our clubs/sports are clamouring for volunteers? (the answer is all of them)
