Former Mayor Herb Jacques says the Trappers' Festival sign that waves to drivers as they enter the community needs town support for preservation.

 

The current mayor and council are looking into what needs to be done to prevent the landmark from being removed, as the fall budget was front and center at this week’s council meeting.

 

Here, Mayor Andre Murphy shares some details about the budget:

 

"So we had our meeting last night.  I guess everybody probably is aware that we're in full-budget sort of mode.  So, we had a lot of presentations last night from community groups sharing their budgets with us looking for funding and stuff.

 

So we'll continue to review that uh as part of our process."

 

There were budgetary presentations from the fire department, KRC, the airport, the museum, and the wellness center.

 

The town is also looking to hire a CSO Manager to grow the community safety program from the ground up while working with the RCMP.
