Municipal leaders attending AUMA Convention in Red Deer
Municipal representatives from across the province are descending upon Red Deer for the 2018 AUMA Convention and AMSC Trade Show at Westerner Park.
Pre-convention activities get underway Tuesday including sessions surrounding municipal corporate planning and finance, community development through citizen engagement, a legal seminar, Indigenous-themed experiential blanket exercise, participant networking event and a ‘Welcome to Red Deer 2019 Canada Winter Games Host City Facilities Tour and Reception’. The convention itself runs Wednesday through Friday.
“It’s great to welcome municipal members – mayors, councillors, CAOs, staff – as well as trade show partners to Red Deer,” says Dianne Wyntjes, Red Deer City Councillor and AUMA Governance Committee member.
“I think it’s really good for our economy and for them also to have an opportunity, instead of driving past Red Deer, to come see what our community has to offer.”
