It looks like we might get spring yet. I hope that all of our businesses are taking a survey of their property and planning a clean up day. Let's try to make our city as clean as we can. I know, we have lots of big agricultural and oil industry trucks and service units travelling around town which speaks well for our economy, but tends to track in a lot of mud. I have seen the City street cleaners out so that is a good sign of spring, and they are doing their part to clean up the streets. Let's all help.
Staff Corine and Kathy along with Randy Aston and his Golf Tournament committee have been busy putting the plans in place for the golf tournament on May 31st. Do you have your entry in yet? Better hurry, it has been known to sell out. There will be a few new twists and surprises this year along with some of the old favorites.
I was pleased to attend an information meeting at the Immigration Gateway office in April. This location serves newcomers to our community and has been busy with new programs and services. It is located at the corner of 48th street and 51st Ave.
As a member of the board of the Economic Development Corportation, I attended the board meeting this past month. LEDCorp is in their new digs across from ESSO on highway 17 north. If you get a minute stop in and say hi to Ward and Katlyn.
On April 20th I attended the Alberta Chambers of Commerce board of directors meeting and Political Action Day in Edmonton. The new format included presentations from all four opposition leaders as well as dinner with the MLA's. The premier was unable to attend this year as he was at the western premiers conference in Vancouver.
I enjoyed a delicious lunch today at the Sask Tourism Ready to Work program along with several of my colleagues. This program is winding down for the spring and will start up again in the fall. I'll be off to Lakeland College in a few minutes for the All Candidates Forum for the federal election. We will hear from 8 candidates tonight.
Don't forget about the Admin Professional Day on April 27th. Your secretary could win the afternoon off with $500.00 in downtown gift cards to be spent that day. Better yet, you could have Kurt Price from Lloyd FM and his sidekick, Heather Klages manning your phones. That could be interesting.
Don't forget about the Golf & Curling Centre grand re-opening on tomorrow beginning at 3:00 pm. I have had a tour of the facility and the new renovations have it looking great.
Make sure you get out and vote on May 2nd. It is your right, your privelege as well as your obligation to the best country in the world, Canada.
Till next time .....
Pat
