<strong>The</strong> Interview:<br />
Jim<br />
Watson<br />
What is your idea of perfect happiness?<br />
Sitting at Petrie Island soaking up the sun.<br />
What is your favourite food?<br />
Roast Beef.<br />
What is your favourite restaurant in Orléans?<br />
Meatings.<br />
Do you have a personal motto and, if yes, what is it?<br />
Under promise, over deliver.<br />
What do you think Orléans will look like in 25 years (2044)?<br />
It will be much more than a “bedroom community”. Orléans<br />
will be connected to LRT, which will open up the reality of<br />
more jobs in the East end.<br />
What do you think the most critical issue facing Orléans<br />
today is?<br />
Land and employment opportunity that will be fueled when<br />
LRT to Trim Road opens in five years.<br />
What’s the most useless talent you have? Or What’s your<br />
secret talent?<br />
I have no talents, useless or otherwise.<br />
What else would you like us to know?<br />
I am proud to work with very talented and hardworking<br />
colleagues: Councillors Laura Dudas, Tim Tierney, Matt<br />
Luloff and Stephen Blais. Together, we are making<br />
significant progress in Orléans and the broader East End.<br />
From Amazon creating over 600 full time jobs to LRT going<br />
to Orléans, the East end is on the move!<br />
What do you love most about Orléans?<br />
I love the annual festivals and events that have been<br />
emerging in Orléans over the years, such as the Orléans<br />
RibFest, Craft Beer Festival, and Poutine Fest in Orléans.<br />
