A Message from the Chair - DDC Board Election Tomorrow, Wednesday, December 13, 2006 December 12, 2006

As you now know, we have a greater number of candidates for positions than there are vacancies on the Board of Management for the Downtown Development Commission (DDC). Therefore, an election is required to select the members of the board.

I'm told this may be the first time since our inception in 1988 that an election has been required. From the perspective of the board this is extremely good news. This is a very positive indication of the interest in our downtown and DDC activities. This is understandable with the recent increase in occupancy and business activity in the downtown. Our downtown is growing and once again returning to it's former glory as the center of economic, commercial and tourism related activities for the province.

By now you will have received notice of the election which will take place tomorrow at City Hall and DDC offices at 155 Water Street. There are a number of conditions which must be met in order to qualify to vote. One unique requirement is that you must present written authorization by the entity you represent in order to vote on their behalf. This is cumbersome, but is being imposed by the City to insure the eligibility of the voter. Also, you should be aware that you are entitled to one vote for each place of business that pays a business improvement area (BIA) levee.

Despite the busy time of year, I strongly encourage each one of you to take the time to drop by City Hall or the DDC offices tomorrow and vote for the six (6) individuals that you would like to represent your interests on the Board of Management of the Downtown Development Commission.

Merry Christmas!

Bill
