Osoyoos candidate Bridget Wilson suggests adding a public question period to town council meetings.

According to a recent article by Times Chronicle, Osoyoos candidate Bridget Wilson is proposing the addition of a public question period at town council meetings. Wilson suggests giving the public half an hour to ask questions after regular meeting ends.

Wilson emphasizes residents' right to be heard in shaping Osoyoos, stating she is persistent and goal-driven. She also proposes interim solutions like water refill stations for the water treatment plant, which remains a key issue for her campaign.

Additionally, Wilson aims to address affordable housing and business needs by speeding up permit processes and revising zoning restrictions. She also explores better access to acute health care in Osoyoos, noting the need for staff at local facilities.

Furthermore, Wilson advocates for a gradual increase in taxation each year to ensure preparedness. Her goal is to build trust with residents during her four-year term on council.
