Following their meeting on September 27 in Calgary, the shelter item discussed at Monday’s council meeting has been recessed to be continued on Thursday, September 29 at 9 a.m.

“The province has additional questions about the site being recommended and our meeting tomorrow is to provide the information needed. We know this is a big decision; it took a lot of hard work to get here. At the end of the day, this is a provincial project, and they need to have all the information available to decide whether they will support our recommended site or not,” said Mayor Johnston.
