Background
A letter has been received from Ms. Edie Spagrud, Director of Economic Development Initiative (JEDI), requesting an audience with Council to present JEDI Board of Directors’ 2014-2018 Strategic Plan and JEDI’s Operational Budget for 2014.
Strategic Plan
Primary goals for JEDI Board of Directors under which objectives and tactics have been clearly defined in the 2014-2019 JEDI Strategic Plan include:
. Business Retention & Expansion . Business Attraction . Industrial Land Supply/Inventory . Labour Force Development . Focused Communications and Leadership
In the 2014 – 2018 Strategic Plan, concerted efforts will be made to ensure suitable, marketable industrial parcels are developed to attract industry/business to the JEDI region; additionally, there will be more focused communication within JEDI municipal partnership and key business/industry stakeholders.
Operating Budget
The 2014 JEDI requisition is unchanged from the last two years. Key elements of the 2014 JEDI Operating Budget, in addition to standard operating costs, include:
. The hiring of Kent Stewart with Western Management Consultants, to lead JEDI Board of Directors and key stakeholders through an assessment and planning process which will

. The hiring of Stratagem Plus Consulting to develop, help monitor and evaluate a three year marketing/communication plan based on goals and objectives set out in the 2014- 2019 Strategic Plan.
At the JEDI regular Board of Directors meeting held on December 19th, 2013, the Board reviewed and approved (after some minor amendments to both) the 2014 – 2018 Strategic Plan and the 2014 Operating Budget.

Business Investment Attraction

9. GENERAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOLS & INITIATIVES
Following are some general economic development tools and services JEDI shall use from time to time, selected on the basis of their contribution to the overall development of the JEDI region and relevance to JEDI’s strategic plan
9.1 Business Retention & Expansion (BR&E)
JEDI shall employ various tools and tactics to help with local Business Retention and Expansion (BR&E), including but not limited to developing business retention programs and initiatives.
9.2 Business Attraction
JEDI shall help foster a local culture of entrepreneurship and a pro-business attitude that encourages new business start-ups, business relocation and investment attraction/industrial development within the region.
9.3 Supply Chain Research and Development
The concept of Supply Chain Management is based on two main ideas: The first is that practically every product that reaches an end user represents the collective effort of multiple organizations/ businesses; these make up the supply chain. Secondly, most businesses only pay attention to what is happening within the four walls of their organization. Economic development organizations, such as JEDI, can research the supply chain of specific businesses to determine where the business gaps might be for local suppliers in order to get the greatest overall positive economic impact from as much of the supply chain as possible being located within the JEDI region.
9.4 Clustering
Clustering is the process of inter-connecting companies and institutions that see the competitive advantage of working together (suppliers, manufacturers, transportation services, marketing services, etc.)
JEDI shall assess the region and undertake a process to help develop business clusters.

JEDI Strategic Plan and 2013 Page 32 of 130 Budget - Presented by Councillor AgendaItem#6a)

Globalization and shrinking government assistance has dramatically changed economic development; therefore, JEDI shall seek out opportunities for collaborative partnerships with both the private and public sectors in order to foster industrial development. Also, rather than consider other communities and economic development organization as rivals, JEDI shall seek collaborative approaches to economic development in its quest for regional sustainability and prosperity.

Meeting Date November 18 – 22, 2013 Committee/ AUMA Conference Issued to City Council
Presented By Councillor June Boyda
Highlights & Summary Elected officials Education Program – Addressing Local Infrastructure Issues Figure out your priorities: Calculate: 1 – Core, 2 – Must-Have, 3 Nice-To-Have Then figure out how long you can live without it (i.e. 1 – 3 days, 2 – 3 months, 3 – 1 year) Multiply them out how you rated them, then put on a scale from 1 – 9. Then you can rate which ones have higher priorities.
Assets: What level of service do you want to keep an asset at, then figure out if you can afford that standard. When you have to replace it, consider what is the standard level of service you want to provide? Search for best practices to maybe find a more efficient solution.
Minor Maintenance – easy to cut from the budget because you don’t see the effects immediately (not a good decision as it reduces the lifetime of the asset)
Now That I’ve Been Elected Tom Forgrave - MGA Natural person power (Sec 6) Purpose of a municipality (Sec 3)
Robert's Rules of Order - Josh Noonan ** Our procedural bylaw will describe how a meeting is run Motions: Main, amend, refer (i.e. to a committee: who, what, terms / purpose), postpone (delay the decision no later than the next meeting)
Fundamental Principles - Justice & courtesy for all - Do only one thing at a time - The majority rules - The minority has a right to be heard - Can move debate to be closed (no debate, 2/3 to pass)
Pecuniary Interest - RMRF Err on the side of claiming a pecuniary interest and not vote Declare interest, leave the meeting, put in minutes Otherwise could result in fines, disqualification

Ian Hill Unleash human capacity of residents Beacon of hope Find a way, make a way attitude
Becoming a Community Builder Get citizens in alignment - moving in the same direction (otherwise it hurts and costs money) Marshall human capital (time, energy, sweat, skills, love, empathy, compassion) Are living in a user driven society therefore accommodate that to lead them. Community engagement is no longer obligatory; need to prove to the residents that our "thing" is worthy of their time So prove to people - let them have their say May have to lead people that have different backgrounds & views
3 Competencies 1. Agent of Change - seeking alignment of time, talent, treasure & human capital; will lead to a thriving community - Trust: build trusting relationships; need to trust you, what they hear is true, & what they do will be valued Authenticity: say what you are and more days than not, be that. Have no gap between principles and practice
Blame vs. Accountability - Focus on vision & leading; not doing the staffs job
2. Big Picture Systems Thinker Intentional approach to developing kids -> citizens Comprehensive system to bring citizens into community and get them contributing Integrated set of parts to accomplish a purpose They will fall in love with their town if they get a chance to build their town
Community = shared vision, experience / adversary, victory Therefore look for opportunities: community build day, beautification, clean-up day, sports teams, arts
3. Catalyst for Responsibility - Can facilitate the dialogue; get others to bring forward ideas; I don't need to have all the answers, but create an environment where they bubble up to the surface a) Pride -> instill pride & this will follow: better economic development, better parents, cleaner yards

Infrastructure & Energy Committee Report Asset Management - Started in the 80's in UK, 90's Australia & New Zealand, 10 AB Objective: management of assets for present & future customers - it's more than an accounting system & TCA. Also includes the condition of the asset & replacement cost - current state of assets - what do we need to do
PAGE 2 HELPING TO CREATE A SAFE, STRONG & PROUD COMMUNITY CITY OF WETASKIWIN ALDERMAN REPORT TO COUNCIL
Committee Reports - Presented Page 46 of 130 by Councillor Tyler Gandam AgendaItem#8b)
- when - how much will it cost - how will we find it - what is my required Level of Service - which of my assets are critical for sustained performance Level of Service: what is essential, desirable, where can savings be made
City of Lethbridge: building an asset management plan. They are currently required in Ontario to access grants. May eventually be required in Alberta for Federal grants.
Safe & Healthy Communities
The AUMA is working on a new police funding model -> 2015 implementation. There may be municipal police assistance grants?
Working on making communities more welcoming & inclusive: wic.auma.ca Working with aboriginals, newcomer integration
Events coming up (free) in Calgary: Feb 6, 7: wic.auma.ca/Events
Dealing with mental health issues is a significant increase in the cost of policing -> we should look at preventative programs to reduce those problems before they occur.
Policing model – establish a police committee to determine what community needs and expectations are. Alberta Association of Police Governance aapg.ca
Our policing costs has the lowest # of police officers / capita vs other G8 countries (therefore lowest cost). New police challenges: organized crime, social issues (mental health, homeless, family violence, senior abuse), protecting youth (child abuse, cyber crime, bullying)
Should focus on prevention vs arrests when considering statistics for success of programs SORCE.ca – connecting people with services, support & solutions (a number of organizations – looks like a one-stop shop to help the entire solution) Colonel Chris Hadfield – The Sky is Not the Limit To inspire kids - Give them a dream – a sense of desire & purpose Give people something larger than themselves to bring them together How to be a good leader: listen, decide, tell everyone, repeat Necessity to visualize disaster & then plan for it. Practice it over & over. Being ready & expecting things to go wrong set them up for success (i.e. emergency management plans – practice & keep up-to-date)
Create, Attract & Maintain a Strong Thriving Business Community 80 – 90% of new business investment comes from your existing business, so do relationship building, communication, identifying issues Adequate workforce, transportation are good attractors Labour shortage: aging, shrinking knowledge – skills Economic Disaster Recovery Project – started by EDA
PAGE 3 HELPING TO CREATE A SAFE, STRONG & PROUD COMMUNITY CITY OF WETASKIWIN ALDERMAN REPORT TO COUNCIL
Committee Reports - Presented Page 47 of 130 by Councillor Tyler Gandam AgendaItem#8b)
- are helping 10 communities - building an ongoing recovery training & toolkit, available on their website -> if a disaster occurs, what are some of the best practices that will quickly assist your businesses)
Minister Sessions BMTG & Gas Tax: Moving from Transportation ministry to Municipal Affairs. Amount of funding will stay the same with similar conditions. Benefit of reduced paperwork
Focus on regional agreements to provide services to make sure communities are viable (everyone has demands on growth at all levels of government; their suggested solution is regional)
Actively discussing allowing pre-qualified bidders rather than the lowest bid
MGA: Most progressive in country; would like to see it passed before the next election. Going through each section – have developed discussion papers; make sure to participate in the discussion.
Charter – give municipalities ability to agree if they want to take on new responsibilities and have capacity to handle them and how they will interact with the Province
Province had to cut funds (MSI operating grant) – find ways to be efficient & effective so not relying on grants for operations -> going to regional grants.
Looking at moving inter-facility transfers out of EMS system because many are not emergencies, which is a waste of resources
Education: Trying to make it more possible to take different courses in different places. Working on creating a format where they deliver programs that allow students to stay home for 1st year (or entire degree) so they don’t have cost of moving & living to increase the number of students doing continuing education (AB has lower numbers than other provinces), but AB Tuition, bursaries and student loans don’t seem to be the barrier.
Dual credits – can start taking post-secondary courses while in high-school; This will hopefully increase rate in post-secondary; allow students to take a few courses for free (high-school is free); students find what they are interested in

Peace Hills Lodge and West Pine Lodge Operated by Bethany Nursing Home of Camrose, Alberta as Management Body General Assumptions for the Proposed Budget for the Year Ended January 01 – December 31, 2014
Revenue: 1. Occupancy Peace Hills Lodge 97% West Pine Lodge 77%
2. Accommodation Rates Rent-Geared-to-Income (RGI) is the method currently used to calculate accommodation rates. Base rent is 30% of gross income with an additional fixed monthly charge for lodge services. Monthly fees are adjusted up or down in consideration of significant variation in the size of room occupied. The lodge services package is currently $765 per single person and $1,190 per couple in a shared room, increasing on July 1, 2014 to $785 and $1,225 (approximately 3% increase) respectively. Peace Hills Lodge has six one-bedroom suites intended for couples, which have a fixed monthly rent of $2,030. The monthly rent will increase on July 1, 2014 to $2,065. For each 1% change in the lodge services package, total revenue is adjusted approximately $2,500.
Under the Alberta Housing Act regulations a resident must be left with at least $265.00 per month in disposable income after payment of rent and basic services (note that this does not apply to the one-bedroom suites intended for couples in Peace Hills Lodge). Seniors’ Income amounts for October 2013 using maximum available government income supports were $1,578 for a single and $2,513 for a couple. Based on currently established amounts for lodge services package and minimum RGI calculations, minimum rents of $1,220 single and $1,925 couple would leave a resident with monies in excess of the $265 threshold.
3. Government Grants Previously, the Lodge Assistance Program (LAP) grant was $8.75 per eligible resident per day and was targeted at residents who had an annual income less than $27,880. In addition, Alberta Seniors & Community Supports provided a “Special Services Grant” targeted at residents who receive some extra services and who qualified for the LAP grant. This grant was $3.70 per eligible resident per day. During the current year, these two grants were combined and the LAP grant is now $12.45 per eligible resident per day.
This grant is targeted at residents who have an annual income of less than $28,160. Every February we report to the department all residents residing in the lodge. Subsequently, the department informs us of the residents who qualify and the numbers that will be the basis for our grant. For budget purposes we have assumed that we will receive 96% of the amount earned in 2013.
In 2013, the number of residents eligible for the LAP grant was 106; in 2012, the number of residents eligible for the LAP grant was 100, of which 46 were also eligible for the Special Services Grant. The RGI accommodation fee calculation minimizes the impact to revenue of fluctuations in the number of eligible residents, as higher income residents who do not qualify under LAP grants pay higher rent.

Committee Reports - Presented Page 58 of 130 by Councillor Tyler Gandam AgendaItem#8b)
Expenses:
1. Salaries & benefits are estimated based on current staffing levels with a provision for a 2.0% increase to pay grids. It has been our policy to match the percentage salary increases for non- certified staff in Wetaskiwin and Winfield with the unionized staff in our other lodge sites. Our AUPE agreement is in effect until March 31, 2015.
2. Food costs are expected to increase by 2.5%. Regular maintenance costs have been budgeted to be consistent with the 2013 budget amounts. No non-recurring maintenance projects have been budgeted.
The budget also includes a provision for additional administrative costs associated with systems support.
3. In the prior year, The Bethany Group signed a three year contract for gas at $3.40 per GJ, down from $6.99, which only affected natural gas costs at Peace Hills Lodge, as West Pine Lodge heating costs are paid to a cooperative. We have budgeted a 5% increase in heating costs due to consumption. The Bethany Group also entered into a new 2.5 year contract for electricity effective January 1, 2013, which has been priced at $0.06239/kwh. We are estimating a 4% increase in water / sewer costs over the 2012 projected year.
4. The fee for administration and management services provided by The Bethany Group is budgeted at $95,450 for 2014, an increase of 3% over the prior year. The management fee covers ongoing management and executive support from Bethany’s senior management team. In addition to providing leadership for operations, the team brings expertise and resources that includes finance, human resources, education, payroll, audit preparation, budgeting and forecasting, workplace health and safety, infection prevention and control, property and asset management and development.
Requisition:
Based on the assumptions and estimates used, a requisition of $812,500 would be required to fully fund the lodge operations in 2014; this includes financing costs for the Peace Hills Lodge of $543,664 per year based on a loan of $8.2 million amortized over 25 years at 4.389%. However, if the current requisition of $875,000 is maintained, the surplus of $62,500 would increase the reserve for expenditures in a future year.

Councillor Presented By: Tyler Gandam Bylaw 1829-14 - Land Use Bylaw Amendment
An application was received from the owner of Plan M4, Block 35, the east half of Lot 7 and the whole of Lot 8, which is civically addressed as Issue / 4717 – 49 Avenue, to reclassify this property from R2 – Low Density Request Residential to R3 – Medium Density Residential
The subject property is very unique for the surrounding area as it is very wide and has two separate sets of services. One of the guiding principles of the Municipal Development Plan is to “promote growth that takes advantage of previous public investments in the community such as roads, schools and infrastructure”. To maximize the lot development and servicing available the requested change to a R3 – Medium Density Residential land use is supported. Executive
Summary The purpose of the R3 – Medium Density residential district is to establish a district in which land is used primarily for medium density residential development. The property owner is proposing a side by side fourplex which will then be subdivided based on the location of the firewall to a duplex on each lot. This is not a permitted or discretionary use in the R2 – Low Density Residential district therefore reclassification is necessary for the development to occur.
(I Move) That City Council give first reading to Bylaw 1829-14.
Motion Proposed (I Move) That City Council schedule a public hearing regarding Bylaw By Administration 1829-14 for 4:00 p.m. on Monday, February 10, 2014 at the Regular Council meeting to be held in Council Chambers in accordance with City Policy.

Meeting Date: January 13, 2014 Chris Cambridge, Department Director of Engineering Representative: and Development
Councillor Presented By: Wayne Neilson Bylaw 1830-14 - Development, Safety Codes and Engineering Fees
Many of the development, safety codes and engineering fees currently Issue / do not cover the cost of providing these services and are found in a Request variety of documents. The development, safety codes and engineering fees were established many years ago, and the fees charged no longer cover the cost of providing the services. The purpose of the fee changes is not to generate revenue, but just cover the cost of providing the service. The attached spreadsheet shows the relationship between the proposed fees and how the fees were determined. As well, a comparison of 14 other communities was done to ensure that the proposed development fees are in line with other communities and the averages are shown with the current fees and proposed fees for Wetaskiwin.
Currently, fees and charges for development, safety codes permits and engineering fees were approved in a variety of formats and documents. In an effort to provide better customer service and be development friendly, it is proposed to amalgamate all of these fees into one bylaw Executive for easier reference. Summary
One significant item of note in this bylaw is the combination of the fees for occupancy permits, damage and grading deposits. Currently occupancy permits and damage deposits have been charged separately and no grading deposits have been collected. This fee structure combines the three components into one fee. This allows the fee to be pooled and the proposed increase to be lower than if we had all the items separate. As well, these fees are refundable (with the exception of a proposed 5% administration fee, $25 minimum) when all the inspections are complete showing no outstanding issues. The Safety Codes Fee Policy will need to be amended to reflect the changes if this fee structure is approved.
Motion Proposed (I Move) That City Council give first reading to Bylaw 1830-13. By Administration

Councillor Presented By: Bert Horvey Assessment Services Contract
The existing contract with Accurate Assessment Group for assessment Issue / services expires on February 28, 2014. A new assessment services Request contract should be entered into prior to that date.
In late November, tender packages were sent to select assessment service providers that have the ability to provide the unique mix of assessment services required by the City. The tender asked for an annual per parcel contract rate to be in place for a three year term with the possibility of a two year extension. The per parcel contract rate is then multiplied by the actual parcel count to determine the total annual cost.
Only one tender was received which was from Accurate Assessment Executive Group at a rate of $15 per parcel. This is higher than the current Summary contract cost of $14 per parcel that was established in 2010, but is still much less than the cost to hire an additional in-house assessor. For the 2014 assessment year the estimated contract cost would be $79,050.
The City has worked with Accurate Assessment Group on various projects over the past 15 years and their service has always been excellent .
(I Move) That Council direct Administration to enter into a contract Motion Proposed with Accurate Assessment Group at a rate of $15.00 per parcel per By Administration year to provide assessment services for the term of March 1, 2014 to February 28, 2017 with the possibility of a two year extension. \ Our vision is to create a Safe, Strong and Proud community Achieve organizational excellence Serve and protect our community Strategic Support, expand and diversify our economic base Plan Goals Be sustainable Increase pride and communication

Mayor Bill Elliot and Wetaskiwin City Council City Hall, 4705 50 Ave, MAYOR'S OFFICE Wetaskiwin, AS T9A ORS DEC 022013
November 18, 2013 RECEIVE D
Dear Mayor & Council:
EBC has been part of the Wetaskiwin community and the same neighborhood (4730-51 Ave), since 1904. We have a wide expression of young families, elderly, youth and middle aged people in our church family. We are the oldest Baptist General Conference church in Alberta and one of the oldest in Canada. At one time Ebenezer was instrumental in governance of a Bible college here in Wetaskiwin which was first called the Swedish Bible Institute and then Alberta Bible Baptist Academy (1925-1949). This later amalgamated with what is now Taylor Seminary in Edmonton. In fact the city gave the school land and buildings which Parkland Fertilizer now sits on. In short, we have a long and vested interest in this community and there are no plans to go away. With this in mind, I am writing to you on behalf of our church family with concerns regarding the number of liquor establishments in our city and the vetting of new ones. We are also concerned about pawn shops and cheque cashing/payday loan businesses that we feel take advantage of people.
Recently our church was notified about application 13D081which is to give another liquor license for a bar/lounge at Terra Cotta Cafe. We asked the city to reject this proposal on the following grounds. Within one block of the residential neighbourhood that our church building is located, we already have one liquor store and at least two other restaurant businesses that have lounges in them (and within 2-3 blocks ... a number more). We have taken a business that already has a liquor license and given it yet another liquor license (and thus creating a section of the restaurant that is not family friendly (no minors allowed). I personally have observed people on numerous occasions (especially in the summers) walking through our neighborhood intoxicated or in the 50 Av. or 49 st. in the same state. We do not need more of this in our neighborhood. Last year we had the Storefront School from the Wetaskiwin Composite High School start in the same strip mall as the Terra Cotta and a stone's throw from us. The high school itself is only a couple blocks away, CB McMurdo School is about the same, yet we keep adding these kinds of establishments to our neighborhood and community.

Correspondence - Presented by Page 120 of 130 Councillor Tyler Gandam AgendaItem#14a)
We were told in a pre-meeting before our appeal (which we withdrew) that once an area is zoned a certain way and a business meets the basic requirements for a business license it must be granted. We were also told that the city had zoned other kinds of businesses (i.e. strip jOints and pornography stores) to the airport area so as to discourage their development. This was an excellent move to make. We believe council could and should revisit the issue of liquor stores, pawn shops (and perhaps cheque cashing/payday loan places) with zoning and set the same zoning requirements as these types of businesses. We understand the city does not grant liquor licenses but surely there are ways to limit or discourage more alcohol establishments? Alcohol is a controlled substance that is addictive and can cause significant harm to individuals and families if not used responsibly, yet we seem determined to allow more and more access to it? Some may say that this is a matter of individual adult choice yet the fact remains alcohol IS regulated by law so there is a public recognition of its inherent dangers with the irresponsible. Who usually gets hurt is the the innocent (i.e. drunk drivers). If we are honest, with the number of liquor establishments we already have in place, it is not like access to liquor is going to be a problem.
How many times have I heard from people who reside outside our community that we are known in our province for an abundance of two things .... pawn shops and liquor establishments? Many times! Is this the image we want of our city if we desire it to grow, prosper and be welcoming to young families? It is my understanding that the city is building the new aquatic center and beautifying our downtown in order to attract young families and project the image that Wetaskiwin is a good place to raise the same. It is our opinion to add yet more liquor establishments to an already crowded landscape does nothing to fortify this family friendly image. We do not believe more bars, liquor stores, pawn shops and check cashing/payday loan schemes that charge exorbitant interest rates strengthen our neighborhoods, our city and contribute to the long term well-being of its citizens. They do the opposite. They tarnish our image and reinforce stereotypes of our community.
We urge you to take into consideration All the human factors involved in such applications and how they affect families. As a church we are very interested in seeing our city prosper with more good businesses (such as through JEDI) that provide good jobs and we pray for the same every single week in corporate prayer. Thank you for your consideration with this matter and we await your reply.

I want to thank you Mayor Elliot and Wetaskiwin City Hall staff for the great effort and time put into organizing the 2013 study tour. I am aware that a new approach and plan had to be devised due to my big request of having the entirety of the Ashoro grade ten class visit Wetaskiwin. For this I am truly grateful.
Although I was unable to come along this year I have heard many positive and reassuring remarks from both chaperones and students that went to Wetaskiwin. I was very hesitant to make this request of sending the whole grade ten class at first, as I did not want to burden Wetaskiwin and it's citizens. However, after hearing about the acceptance, organization and hospitality of the City of Wetaskiwin and it's citizens I am confident that it was a good decision. The town of Ashoro and myself feel so appreciative to you and the City Hall staff for all their service toward the program.
This chance to learn about another culture through intimate interactions is something unique and personal for our students. In an ever changing world opportunities like this Ashorol Wetaskiwin Study Tour are invaluable to the youth of our communities. I look forward to seeing this program into the future and the benefits it offers to the students.
Again, thank you for making our dream become a wonderful reality.
Sincerely,
___,.,... 7,/~ ~~. Katsuhi 0 Akuts,f Mayor Of Ashoro

What a wonderful final weekend for Gingerbread & Glitter!!!
The Drill Hall was full of people and the cash donations were plentiful. The bus was stuffed with over 2600 pounds of food and there was a mountain of presents donated. There were lots of great bids for the silent auction items and many raffle tickets purchased. Secret Santa, The Food Bank and The Wetaskiwin Hospital Foundation will be very pleased.
We want to especially thank you, the City of Wetaskiwin Council and staff, for being our sponsor for all 20 years of Gingerbread & Glitter. Your generous donation has allowed us to have the event each year and provide the funds where they are needed most, not to running the event.
Gingerbread & Glitter is a true example of what a community can accomplish when it works together, Our event is only successful due to our sponsors, vendors, exhibitors and volunteers. We feel such pride when it all comes together.
As everyone is aware, this was our last Gingerbread & Glitter. It has been an incredibly rewarding 20 years but it is time to pass the torch to a new group or set of volunteers to start some new community traditions. The Friends of the Community of Wetaskiwin Society wish you and your f[) all the very best during this holiday season and throughout the New YJf!

Dear Mayor Bill,
Our 4th Annual Charity Check Stop was a huge success! Your help was so very much appreciated. We loved having you on sight with your always friendly and positive attitude. Our thanks also goes to Aldermen Bert Horvey and Tyler Gandam for coming out to be part of our volunteer team. It truly makes a difference to know that we have the support of the City.
Thank you for allowing us to use the service road, and you even had the road ploughed for our event. That was so thoughtful! We were also grateful to have fire fighters and By-Law on hand. Besides all that, we were able to borrow tables and chairs from the Drill Hall.
The response from the community was huge. Their generosity saw us raise over $12,600 this year, and the Salvation Army was delighted with the generous donation of toys and food.
For all you have done to help make this event a positive and successful event, we thank you. Our city has proven once again that it is indeed a wonderful place to live.
On behalf of all of us here at Victim Services, thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Barry MacDonald S t. Guy Perreault President RCMP Liaison
