Penhold Mayor Mike Yargeau wins Alberta Municipalities Award of Excellence
The mayor of Penhold has received some special recognition this week.
During the Alberta Municipalities annual conference each year, outstanding municipal professionals from across Alberta are recognised for their collaboration, dedication and commitment to excellence. During the President’s Dinner, held in Calgary on September 20, 2022, Penhold Mayor Mike Yargeau was awarded an Alberta Municipalities Award of Excellence.
Officials say this award recognizes outstanding civic leadership by past and present municipal elected officials who have made an outstanding contribution to the field of municipal politics. Recipients of this award are chosen by the Alberta Municipalities award committee based on their demonstrated leadership in local, provincial and national capacities.
“I want to acknowledge my council and the council’s I’ve served with before this term. I don’t think I’m deserving of this award without the contribution and support of my friends and colleagues with the Town of Penhold. This is something that I take a lot of pride in and will continue to work for as long as I serve,” said Yargeau, in a press release Wednesday.
