People depend on public services; services depend on people to deliver them.
CBRM workers touch every part of life: they fix roads, provide snow removal and ice control on roads and sidewalks, test and treat drinking water, maintain and repair water and waste water infrastructure, maintain parks and recreational areas, run ice rinks, provide public transit service, clean and maintain municipal buildings, provide garbage collection and run the compost facility and landfill, and much more. We’re facing tough economic times, and that’s when we need affordable, reliable public services most.
