DIDSBURY - Mayor Rhonda Hunter and councillors Bill Windsor and Ethan Williams will meet with Minister of Transportation and Innisfail-Sylvan Lake MLA Devin Dreeshen at the upcoming Alberta Municipalities convention.
Council carried a motion at its recent meeting appointing Hunter, Windsor and Williams as a delegation for the meeting.
“With the ongoing infrastructure improvements and continued work with Alberta Transportation, this is a good opportunity to meet with Minister Dreeshen to discuss current and future impacts to the Town of Didsbury,” Ethan Gorner, the Town of Didsbury's chief administrative officer, said in a briefing note to council.
“As such a council delegation is required to meet with the minister on council’s behalf.”
Alberta Municipalities represents more than 85 per cent of the province’s municipalities, including towns in this district.
Also during the Sept. 12 meeting, council approved a $500 sponsorship donation for the 2023 Didsbury and Mountain View Business Conference.
“This is the first annual Didsbury and Mountain View Business Conference,” Gorner said in a briefing note to council. “The event will serve as an opportunity for local business owners to participate in networking and hear a variety of speakers. Awards will also be distributed as part the event.”
The funding will come from the community grants program.
