After 3.5 years in this position I have seen youth and seniors organizations on Cortes struggle to find the funding to support the needs of Cortes Island’s youngest and oldest residents.

In the last SRD board meeting I proposed two new services for Cortes Island residents to consider. If the services are approved by the board and the Inspector of Municipalities there will be a referendum question on the ballot in the October election, which means you all get to choose as a community whether we want to create these new services.
