Arctic Radio sat down with Town of The Pas Mayor Andre Murphy following this week's town council meeting.

 

Updates were provided for training being done with the fire department, a new computer server the town is in need of, a resolution required in support of the housing accelerator fund, and more.

 

Mayor Murphy talks about paving that's being done around town:

 

"Paving is going on around town.  Thanks to our municipal superintendent, Sam and the rest of the crew there.  It's about $750,000 worth of paving that we're doing this year.

 

So, again, assets that we've got to continue maintaining, it takes us a lot of time and it takes a lot of money to kind of keep that, but we've got to catch up and keep doing it."

 

Murphy gave accolades to The Pas Family Resource Center for 1.4 million dollars worth of services that don't impact the ratepayer.

 

Spoke about the Chief and Candidates forum and the work being done between The Pas and Opaskwayak Cree Nation.

 

Budgeting for various holidays was also mentioned.
