As a result of a wager with the Mayor of Battleford Flin Flon Mayor George Fontaine was to wear a Battleford hockey jersey at last night’s City Council meeting recognizing the teams win over the Flin Flon Bombers. The jersey has not arrived so he wore a Bombers jersey noting if I’m going to have to wear the bad guys jersey I want to wear the good guys jersey first adding Council is proud of the Bombers congratulating them on how far they got noting they couldn’t beat the last team but they sure put on a show getting there.
Council received a letter from the Flin Flon Pride Committee requesting an official proclamation for Flin Flon Pride Week for June 5th to 11th. They plan a flag raising at City Hall on June 5th and the Pride Parade on the 11th under the theme Community ending with a barbeque.
Council accepted the Strategic Planning Facilitation Proposal received from Way To Go Consulting. They will work with Council in developing a strategic plan for the community discussing the wellbeing of the community and what their plans are moving forward. Chief Administrative Officer Lyn Brown noted a recommendation that a three to five year plan is the best strategic option in terms of being able to move forward and still be flexible over a certain time frame so that’s what they’ll be looking at with the consultant.
