What do you think your area should
concentrate it's spending on?
creating jobs for local people
In the interest of all beings to be
getting equal rights in the community.Dial-up connections & cheap
PC's, i can not understand anyone being slower then my
connection,not my PC.I never threw my money away on a PC deal,that i
had to pay for.This dial-up service makes me want to stop using the
services of the web.Others must swear about there services...( I bet
)
Creating new business, to profit the
local area, and provide full time jobs for local residents
New Council,Repair Roads,New
Administer for the town. Return of the Town Police Services
Road Repair
Starting more small businesses to
provide work for more people here in NB.
tourism and bringing in industry
businesses ..... we are in the centre of a major highway system and
could easily market our area ... as for tourism we need to promote
the opening of new tourist attractions ... giftshops, restaurants
and such ... then once we have the tourist attractions, we promote
tourists stopping ... don't have them stop with nothing to stop for.
This is a great place to promote for retirement.
keeping business in town
A civic center with a pool and gym -
health facilities and
prevention to health facilities
Making places truly wheelchair
accessible, some say they are but it is impossible for a person in a
wheelchair to get over the threshold
without help!
Provide WiFi (wireless broadband
internet) free to the community like Fredericton does. No
different than other infrastructures.
Manufacturing; value added products
from local resources, making permanent local jobs not just seasonal
tourist jobs.
Tourism

Road work. Instead of paving them,
and then ripping it
apart in another two months, spend the money and do it right the
first time!!!
work together for the good of our
children and youth - build a community center that includes
everyone!!! with a pool!!!
strip mall at Youngs Cove, which
would create a diversion for folk travelling Route #2 and create
jobs for locals.
Talking to others,cause it is
refreshing to live in this day of ages.
Finding employment for the young
generation
sports events....because nothing too
spectacular happens sports
wise in this town
I recommend ATVing. There are lots
of machines out there and it
seems to be a growing activity that most anyone would enjoy.
we have several festivals and church
dinners and nice scenic areas ... we just need to enhance them with
more ... the balloon fiesta is one of the best as attractions ...
and our local scenery should be emphasized
kcfrc
I recommend walking because there
are good walking rails in the
village of Sussex Corner and town of sussex.
FleaMarket, Balloon Fiesta, Covered
Bridge Festival, Camping, Long Drives in the Country, Swimming,
Fishing, hiking, 4wheeling
Balloon Festival, beautiful
I recommend frequent low-cost events
which can include all the
people. (At least some of the time!) Such as a kite festival,
frisbee
festival, etc.
community talent shows. It gives
everyone an opportunity to participate and demonstrates what great
hidden talent we have in our area.
unsure
Walking... I love walking around our beautiful town
and
with the walking trail too...its a great place we live.
skiing
Where do you do your shopping?
Oromocto, Fredericton, Sussex
To buy a PC,that be in Toronto,not
locally as most go to Futureshop.ca,they get the high deals,i get
the cheap warranty on parts.
Moncton for anything other than
food. Variety and pricings are a large issue and if I have to shop I
normally lunch in town, I would rather lunch where there is more
variety.
Everywhere in town! Rarely in
Quispamsis and SJ
the gateway mall and sussex mall
Oromocto Sussex Fredericton Moncton
as much as possible in Sussex
mostly in town
I do most of my shopping in Sussex
Sussex, Moncton, St.John
80 % Sussex, 20 % Moncton
Sussex
Sussex
Most of the time I shop here in
town, unless it is something
that I can't get in town. If that is the case, I go to Saint John,
or Moncton.
Sussex, Saint John
Sobey's, Zellers,,,shop around for the best price
Sussex unless it's something I cannot get
here..ie.certain books

What do you think the most important thing
your community should do?
Have a secure place for
activities where youth may congregate and participate in, as well as
the seniors.
To stand as a community
& remember that back in the turn of the century that a horse-thief
was hung.So don't forget the basic rules of humans & the laws of the
land.
Expand on New
Business...
Get a sports complex,
more school campus', road repair, heritage preservation, renewable
energy promotion like Okotoks,Alberta, train station needs a quality
food service atmosphere- good ice cream but looks grungy. Getting
Thomas the Tank engine to come once a year like they do in other
towns in Canada and the U.S-
Clean up the place!
PROMOTE itself ... but not just for
the sake of promotion.
We need to encourage more attractions and specialty shopping areas
for people to see. This does not mean to promote two shopping malls
... everytown has that ... we need specialty gift stores and unique
sites that would draw people to the town and area
Find more things for the young
adults of the town to do
for recreation
Create full time year round jobs
Get along and get people moving!
Encourage people to get involved and enjoy living. Everyone has some
talents that they can share with others.
Older folk have so many years of experience and learning (education
that comes not from schooling necessarily, but life experiences and
skills). Crafts such as knitting, tatting, woodworking, etc. need to
be taught to our younger generation.
Be friendly, helpful, and supportive
of ALL its residents... youth especially!
Get something for the young kids to
do, ie/ a dance club,
or something to that effect. I think that the kids need and deserve
to have somewhere they can go to unwind, and have fun. After all, we
want them to stay in this area when they are adults, don't we?
Work together for mutual promotion of the area!!!!
Attract more business....I live and play in Sussex,
but have to drive to Saint John to work, and even taking into
account the
cost of driving (I estimate $10,000/year) I make loads more money
than I have ever been offered in Sussex.
keep small town atmosphere..bigger isn't always
better
Work together! Can't continue to be the Town
and the LSD's going separate ways. Town must understand that they
have to work with the population in the LSD's not fight with them or
not involve them in a meaningful way!
