At the City Council meeting Tuesday night Mayor Cal Huntley reported he and Council representatives attended the Association of Manitoba Municipalities annual meeting in Brandon last week.  He said it was a very positive meeting with the Premier and all the cabinet ministers attending.  He said every minister or deputy minister they wanted to see was made available, their comments were well received and they expect to see some activity around their requests.  Huntley noted they continued to lobby for funding for the new Aqua Centre as well as issues related to our outlying areas, the need for a base tax and Manitoba Housing opportunities.

At Tuesday’s meeting they also accepted the Fire Chiefs report for November indicating four incidents during the month.  They included a false alarm, a fuel tank leaking after a semi-trailer overturned in the ditch beside highway ten near the airport, a kitchen fire on Hudson Street and assistance to the ambulance service.

And they approved the appointment of Judy Pettersen as a member of the Public Library Board while thanking current Library Administrator Courtney Campbell for her service as she leaves Flin Flon and they opened applications for a new Administrator
