Platform — Yad Minhas for City Council

MY PLATFORM

Improving ties with the County and other regional stakeholders to ensure the needs of the City of Grande Prairie and surrounding communities are better represented on the provincial and national stage.
Reducing red tape and expediting timelines for citizens and businesses, and accelerating permits and approvals to keep as much business within city limits as possible. I want to make GP a more business friendly city.
Reviewing and determining creative and innovative solutions to improve City revenues outside of increasing taxes on its citizens.
Making sure citizens, like you, have better access to the council and decision makers to communicate ideas and concerns.

Prioritizing crime reduction through strengthening enforcement services and improving community crime prevention programs, and mental health services.
Re-evaluating snow removal policies in the city to improve service for citizens. From minimizing snow barriers at the end of driveways and creating ‘above and beyond’ services for citizens in need, to adjusting snow removal schedules to best accommodate peak traffic times.

Advocating for improvements for our local airport. More direct flight destinations, and pushing for international options.
Building on our reputation as a thriving hub in the region so we better attract and retain local talent in business, trades, arts, and more.
Continuing to improve local post-secondary, trades, and polytechnic educational opportunities, especially considering our new regional hospital and future growth.
