Mayor’s Report
Thank you to Talisman Energy for the purchase of a new score clock for the arena. Those who spend a lot to time there will be glad to be able to read the correct score next winter.
I
am happy to welcome John Locher as the new Chief Administrative Officer. I feel confident that John will be a huge asset to the District, as he brings with him a wealth of local municipal government experience. John has been working as the interim CAO since February and has a good knowledge of the District and of our needs.
Hopefully anyone who sustained damage to their property during the rains of early July has contacted the District for information on flood assistance. Until next month enjoy the waning days of summer before the hectic fall and winter begins.
Work on the water treatment plant is progressing; the plant will be temporarily located on Dudley Drive. On-site work should start within the next month.
District News
I would like to thank everyone who responded and wrote letters to Northern Health. Whether or not they were effective is still to be determined. Council is still focusing on this issue and talks are going on with companies in the area to support Hudson’s Hope. We will be meeting with these companies and local First Nations, at a meeting in early September. Hopefully we can break the barrier with Northern Health at this time. August 2011
DOG TAGS
T
he Animal Control Officer would like to remind you that even though you bought the tag it must be on the dog to identify it, if it’s picked up. His goal is to identify the dog and reunite it with its’ owner as quickly as possible. 1
