The following topics were discussed at a Council meeting on Tuesday, May 12th.

Elks of Canada Update

The local Elks of Canada branch is disbanding after serving the community for many years. Mayor Painter sent a letter to the local branch on behalf of Council thanking them for their service in the community. Council and Administration are currently looking over their options for the building, which could include renaming it.

Municipal Contest

Administration is working on a contest for resident beautification projects and will release details in the near future.

Municipality Office Hours

The Municipality’s Office will not be opening until phase two of Alberta’s Re-launch Strategy is in effect.

By-election Update

After talks with Municipal Affairs in regards to the Crowsnest Pass By-election, Administration and Council were made aware that holding an election with the current restrictions is near impossible. Council discussed their options of what they could do and agreed that attempting to hold a by-election by the previous agreed date of July 27th wouldn’t be feasible. Council has now set October 19th as the new date for the by-election and if one can not be held by that date, they will hold off until the full election in October of 2021.
