Councillor Peter Demong

Many Councillors, including myself, have benefited from the experience and wisdom imparted by Rundle Ray Jones. I am certain the people and communities he represented benefited from his representation too. I wish you all the best and good health in your well earned retirement, Councillor Jones.

I am very happy to see EPR in the news again. It does not get nearly the amount of attention it deserves. Reduced municipal taxes, more jobs, money into the economy, better recycling outcomes, simpler recycling rules, and reduced GHG emissions are some of the benefits of EPR.

Let your MLA know that supporting EPR is an EASY WIN for them! In the meantime, I will continue to fight to put the savings back in your pocket.
