I know many of you, and I am humbly asking for your support as the Municipal Councillor for District 1. For those who don’t know me, I am a life-long resident of East Chester where my father was raised. I have two children, Chantelle and Eva. My company which is based in Chester, ABLE Engineering, is a 40-person engineering firm specializing in civil and structural engineering and land surveying. I believe that the most direct way of improving the lives of Nova Scotians is by building economic prosperity. As a result, I have volunteered my time as the chairman of the New Ross Credit Union, an Advisor for Junior Achievers Canada, as a member of the Chester Chamber of Commerce (former director) and as a member of several other South Shore business associations. A clean and safe environment is also important to me and is the foremost goal in my daily work as an engineer. In recent years I have held the position of Director of the Bluenose Coastal Action Foundation whose goal is to promote restoration, enhancement, and conservation of our ecosystem through research, education, education, and action. I am also a member of the Louisiana-Pacific Community Liaison Committee which is an environmental advisory body to East River Louisiana-Pacific Ltd (now Maibec). If you think District 1 deserves a representative that will bring ideas to the Council table and challenge the status quo, I hope you will support me as your Councillor. Sincerely,
Andre Veinotte, P.
