Council raises key issues with provincial ministers during AUMA conference in Red Deer
The 2018 conference for the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association wrapped up on Friday after three days of sessions and workshops.
The conference was held in Red Deer for the first time in 20 years bringing together more than 1000 delegates from across the province.
Red Deer Mayor Tara Veer said she and her council colleagues were privileged to welcome all who attended, noting that they were able to showcase what makes Red Deer unique but also what our city’s most important issues and challenges are.
“Council raised some of our most urgent and pressing community issues, including the need for shelter and associated supports, with Minister Sabir, Minister of Community and Social Services,” says Veer. “The minister heard the significant challenges our council raised, and committed to working with The City to find a long-term solution for our community.”
