VISION FOR LANIGAN’S FUTURE
Tony’s vision for Lanigan centers on sustainable growth and development. He is dedicated to expanding both residential and commercial opportunities in town, with a focus on creating affordable housing, supporting daycare services, and ensuring the town is ready for new families and businesses. Infrastructure improvements are a top priority, including upgrades to water, sewer, roads, and sidewalks, alongside enhancements to recreation facilities and programs.
Health care remains a key focus for Tony, who has been a passionate advocate for the Lanigan hospital and clinic. Under his leadership, the town has made significant progress, but Tony recognizes there is still work to be done. Over the next 5-10 years, he envisions Lanigan growing into a hub of activity, with new homes, expanded business services, and an even stronger sense of community.
Tony encourages residents to get involved and discover everything Lanigan has to offer, urging residents to join local groups, volunteer, and contribute to making Lanigan an even better place to live. Inspired by the town’s growth and the achievements of its people, Tony remains committed to working hard for Lanigan and ensuring it continues to flourish for generations to come.
A community offers you as much as you are willing to put into it. All the recreation facilities would not be here if it was not for fundraising and volunteers. Getting involved with clubs, teams or groups is how you get to know your neighbours and fellow residents. That is what builds a strong community.
