Their Voices Deserve to Be Heard: Honest Conversations with Our Seniors
Location: Across the St. Norbert - Seine River Ward
Candidate: Anita Roy for City Councillor
Focus: Senior Advocacy, Active Listening, Turning Priorities into Action
"Had a good conversation with our seniors, listening to their concerns, experiences, and hopes for our community. Their voices deserve to be heard at City Hall."
Some of the most meaningful moments of this campaign happen around a kitchen table or in a community lounge, sitting with the seniors who built St. Norbert - Seine River. Recently, I had the honour of a heartfelt conversation with our senior residents-listening not just to their concerns, but to their lived experiences and their hopes for the future of our community.
What Our Seniors Are Telling Me
When we truly listen, the priorities become clear. Across our ward, seniors are asking for:
- Safety & Security: Safer streets, better lighting, and neighbourhoods where they feel secure.
- Affordability: Protection from rising costs that strain fixed incomes.
- Accessibility & Transit: Reliable, accessible transportation to appointments, groceries and community events.
- Connection: Stronger support for senior programs and spaces that fight isolation and build friendship.
These aren't just suggestions-they are the lived realities of the people who raised our families and built our city. Their voices deserve to be heard at City Hall.
From Listening to Action
I'm running for City Councillor of St. Norbert - Seine River with a simple, practical promise: to listen, to stand up for our community, and to turn your priorities into action. Listening is only the first step-real leadership means carrying your concerns into council chambers and fighting to deliver results.
To every senior who shared their story with me: thank you. Your wisdom guides this campaign, and your trust drives my commitment to serve. Together, let's build a community where every generation is heard, valued and protected.
