My Speech For Councillor Aug 14th 2114
Aniin Most of you know me My name is Cheryle Snache. L,ve raised my Children Sam and Kory in Rama and have lived here 40 yrs. I have the Sam concerns as you do for Rama,s future. I believe that as a councillor the well being of our community should be foremost in the minds of leadership while making decisions. The top priorities in our community are jobs and economic development. Creating meaningful jobs for our people through job training and job shadowing that includes management and leadership position is a must. Economic development should address long term sustainability and must be community driven. I believe we can cut wasteful spending in order to add to our Looking Far Ahead Trust in order to keep it healthy. We have so much potential here in Rama that we need to maximize. Our greatest asset and resource is our people. Our youth need our support to achieve their goals and we must take care of our seniors and their needs.I am passionate about our culture and language and preserving all aspects of our Traditional knowledge. Housing and home ownership should be accessible to all members and we need to look for ways to accomplish this. I can assure the people of Rama that no decision will be made until the well being of our community is factored in. We are all shareholders and therefore are entitled to any and all information affecting the future and well being of our people. I want to do away with paralysing policies and implement new policies that will empower our people. Together we can achieve unity in our community. Miigwech

Snache for Councillor

Everyone
agrees right now that the top priorities in our community are jobs
and
Economic
Development.
Creating meaningful jobs for our people must start with job training
and job shadowing. Our people need to hold the majority of the
positions in our community, including leadership and management
roles, and supporting those that have gone on to post-secondary
education. Working for Rama should be a career building move that
also addresses our social issues. Economic Development should address
long term sustainability and must be community driven. In addition I
believe we can and should cut wasteful spending in order to add to
our Looking Far Ahead Trust. So many of us rely on the money at
Christmas just to get by. The Trust needs to grow and be sustainable.
We
have so much potential here in Rama that we need to maximize. Our
greatest assets and resources are our people. We need to develop a
brand new marketing strategy with community input that will put Rama
in line with First Nation communities like Membertou and Osoyoos. I
have a plan to develop our land, our community and our people, that
will enhance the quality of life for everyone and still respect and
protect the environment and our waters.
Housing
and
Home
Ownership is
another area of great concern to me. Healthy, sustainable home
ownership should be accessible to all and we need to look at ways to
accomplish this. I feel the price of land should be more affordable
for our people that want to build a family home here in the
community.
I
am passionate about our culture and preserving all aspects of our
language and traditional
knowledge.
Our Language
is
our Culture.
A Cultural Centre for our Youth
is
another top priority and having a plan is vital to this. Today's
youth need a sense of cultural identity they can be proud of and we
need to support this. An Elders and Youth Council must be established
to help voice the will of the people. Supporting Arts, amateur sports
and Education
is
critical to our young people’s identity.
As
a Councillor the Social
Well Being of
the community should be front and centre when considering any and all
decisions. We need to look after our people, especially our Seniors
and
their needs, and those that are the most vulnerable to social issues.
I can assure the people that no decisions shall be made until the
well-being of this community is factored in.
I
believe we are all shareholders and therefore are entitled to any and
all information affecting the future and well- being of this
community. This would mean financial information on time and written
for you, and all council meeting minutes will be posted. My bottom
line is that no decisions should be made that affect you and this
community without your input first. I want to do away with policies
that are paralyzing and implement new policies that will empower our
people.
Together
we can achieve this.
I
welcome your comments, questions and concerns and you can reach me at
any time at 705-325-6629 and by emailing cherylesnache@gmail.com
My door is always open and I am welcoming community members to drop
by for tea or coffee and discussion. With our hearts and our votes we
have the power to change our community for the future.
