Busy times ahead…
They sometimes say; “be careful what you wish for!” No kidding, here in Lloydminster. There may be down time or slow periods in other communities, but not here in the Border City.
This month will see a delegation of community leaders, organized by the Chamber of Commerce, heading west to Edmonton to build positive relations with Deputy Ministers within the re-shaped Alberta government. We will be launching a new information sharing session process, whereby, City Council & Management will invite groups into City Hall to provide background and insight into emerging initiatives to support our strategy development. This month we (City Council) will be sitting down with representatives from the SPCA and several other groups to listen and learn.
Group Jaw with Jeff sessions will be re-initialized this month. I am pleased to report that many of the priorities addressed in 2010 & 2011 were introduced in these community focused dialogue sessions with the Mayor. Later this spring, we will be introducing an opportunity for the public to meet one-on-one with the Mayor, for 20-30 minutes, on a subject of their choice. The meetings will be scheduled on random Fridays throughout the year. The Mayor’s Office will need the topic to be discussed to be confirmed at the time the appointment is set up. Stay tuned for further details…
January 12th will see me participating in two press conferences. Lakeland College has a very special announcement and Lloydminster has been selected as a launch site for the International Year of Co-operatives celebration which will be hosted at the Servus CU Resource Centre. Speaking of co-operation, many of our neighbours will be joining us at an upcoming Vermilion River Regional Alliance AGM, on January 18th in the County of Vermilion River, to explore areas where we might work together to build an even stronger economic region.
Next City Council Meeting – January 23rd, 1:30PM
Until next week…
Mayor Mulligan
