The Pas MLA Amanda Lathlin acknowledged The Town of The Pas with a private member statement on Wednesday. The private member statement gives any MLA the opportunity to acknowledge a constituent or a community in recognition of commitment or leadership within their communities. 

Lathlin went on to say that it was one year ago that The Pas almost lost the paper mill and she felt that it was beneficial to recognize and commemorate the community, paper mill employees, first nations leadership, local leadership, local business leaders, and union representatives for coming together and putting in hard work to find a solution during the potential crisis.  The Private member Statement was accepted by The Pas mayor Jim Scott  on behalf of The Community during question period
