Who would have ever thought I would be diving head first into the world of social media. Certainly not me! Some days I have trouble keeping my wristwatch running!
But with more people using this form of communication all the time, I have decided to give it a try.
My goal is to engage anyone interested – citizens of the Killam community, municipal government elected officials, anyone who cares about their community – in discussing the issues in small communities, as well as provincially and nationally.
I am a life long resident of Killam , Alberta
Some of you may know that my grandparents and my wife Tammy’s great grandparents homesteaded next to each other south west of Killam – so it’s fair to say that our family’s roots are firmly planted in rural Alberta
Our family consists of 3 children and 3 grandchildren, and we are thrilled that our daughter Marcy, after spending time following high school exploring her options, has chosen to live in Killam with her family. I hope our sons have that opportunity as well.
For me that’s what it’s really about – creating a community that people want to visit/re-visit/move to/move back to. That’s easy to say - a bit harder to do. To actually accomplish this there are many things that have to fall into place.
So I will be offering you my view on various topics relating to community. What I need from you is your feedback – agree or disagree & tell me why. This is one of many ways you can be part of the conversation.
I will try to not put my foot in my mouth too much, but I trust you will set me straight when that happens as well!
Check back here periodically to see what’s happening.
Cheers,
Bud James
