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.

On September 15th, our Fire Department was called to help with a large brush fire on the Louis Bull Reserve south of Bear Hills Lake. This fire is continuing to burn and has gone underground. It is burning fine roots and porous organic material that produces irritating smoke.

Todd Craig’s amazing shot of a Wetaskiwin morning has won him a $25 gift certificate to the Pipestone Food Company. This means that there is only one more monthly winner to be announced before we select the $500 grand prize winner of the ‘What does your Wetaskiwin look like’ photo contest. Entries will be accepted until midnight (MST) of August 31, so upload yours before it is too late.

We’ve read your comments, seen your pictures now we want to watch what you have to say about Wetaskiwin.

As we go out to events and meet with people, we’ve been taking the handy Flip and asking you to talk about the City — your favourite thing, what needs to be changed and why you came here.

Go have a look and see what people are saying. If you like, you can even upload your own video.

The next wtCAG meeting is 5:30 pm on August 13 at Wetaskiwin City Hall.

The two major parts of the agenda will be discussions on the feedback we’ve been receiving and on our draft goals (what else can we add? what needs to be changed?)

Aside from CAG members there will be lots of room for members of the public.

If you want to come and see what goes on at these meetings and help us set some goals, please feel free to show up at City Hall before 5:30 pm (doors will be locked at 5:45 pm).
