			<title>TOWN HIRES CONSULTANTS TO HELP IT COMMUNICATE</title>
			<link>http://www.wolfville.ca/public-communication-and-participation-plan.html#comment-72</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The Town has hired Ramp Up Consult-ing to help the Town write public par-ticipation and communication policies. Their website is www.rampupconsulting.ca Who authorized the hiring? And how much are the consultants costing the Town? The answers to these questions have not been made public. It appears that the Town did the hiring without any public notification or con-sultation. Before hiring experts, the Town gov-ernment should have, at least initially, tried to make use of the abundant hu-man resources available in Wolfville. Formulating policies for communication and public participation are not like engineering a sewer system. Is the irony lost on Town officials? Consultants hired to help with com-munication and increase public partici-pation without any communication or public consultation! David A. Daniels]]></description>
