Wetaskiwin Tomorrow

I just received an email from Moyra Kennedy our local business and industry liaison for the province. It was about setting something up in Wetaskiwin similar to Suit Yourself, an Edmonton-based charitable organization which collects and distributes quality clothing and accessories, free of charge, to low-income women who are seeking employment or making a transition in the workforce.

“A neighborhood association (NA) is a group of residents or property owners who advocate for or organize activities within a neighborhood. An association may have elected leaders and voluntary dues.”

“I like the idea of having more Community events as well actually. I think more community involvement might really get the spirits of this town up again and really make things move! We would all like to see the city jump into action at the blink of an eye but that isn’t the case. I have my doubts that Wetaskiwin will ever be like Camrose or any other city like that, but we can try our best to build a better community. We can’t just leave it up to the city, we the citizens should try as well, no?”

“The City of Wetaskiwin issues development and building permits for all construction within the city limits. The major benefits of obtaining a permit are knowing that the installation will conform to construction and safety standards that have been accepted under the Safety Codes Act, and that inspection(s) will be provided by certified Safety Codes Officers.”
