It is with great pleasure that I address you all, and welcome those newcomers that have come to our town. This past season has shown a large influx of citizens to our town, and it is only due that I give them a fair welcome. In the last fifteen years, Noctowne has seen a boom that has not been witnessed since the industrial era. And you are all part of it!
Our town is a unique center of nightlife without the usual riffraff associated with it. Despite our latest statistics showing that over 40% of our population is awake at 'odd hours', we are pleased to report that our crime rate is among the lowest 100 for municipalities in British Columbia.
It also important for me to emphasize that our major industrial partner, ARCO, has jurisdiction on all land across the river. We would like to remind our new citizens that trespassing on ARCO property is a serious crime, so if you wish to visit their departments, please make sure to either arrange a visit or join one of the many tours.
I have also been reminded by the local Ranger Lodge that there are special regulations in place for the forest around the town. We are proud to be one of the few towns with an Extended Camping program, allowing individuals to rough it in the woods for periods up to one month consecutively. There are special rules in place, so please speak to our Rangers about specifics.
So once again, as your mayor, I invite you to enjoy our town! May we have a prosperous life together.
