The town’s 2024 budget was at the heart of the discussion during this week’s council meeting.

 

There is a plan to spend about 1.5 million dollars on paving in the community next year.

 

Planning the budget early will allow local contractors time to place bids for work.

 

Mayor Andre Murphy spoke about an increase in expenses to the RCMP cost.

 

Here, Mayor Murphy talks about a recent conference town employees attended.

 

"We did attend the Association of Manitoba Municipalities Fall Conference there in Brandon.  A few of us went down for that myself.  Bo, Jen, councillor Allen.

 

It's a great opportunity for us to actually sort of build some relationships with the new government.  We've had multiple meetings with ministers while we're down there."

 

Mayor Murphy went on to say that during this conference, they addressed some of the issues plaguing our community.

 

He also noted that it was an excellent opportunity to discuss issues with other provincial community leaders.

 

The next council meeting will be on January 9th.
