Red Deer City Councillor Lawrence Lee has been re-elected to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) Board of Directors, an organization which develops policy and advocates in the interests of municipalities to the federal government.

The election took place in Halifax on Sunday at the FCM annual general meeting following Red Deer City Councillors passing a resolution supporting Lee’s bid for re-election to the board.

“I am honoured to be re-elected into this position, a position that enables me to represent Red Deer and the interests of communities across our province,” says Lee in a press release. “Developing policy on issues such as legalization of cannabis, the opioid crisis, affordable housing, infrastructure, transportation and policing is critical as we continue to ensure our voice is heard as part of the federal conversation.”
