Robert Willing continues as the reeve of the M.D. of Peace.
Council re-elected Willing at its organizational meeting Oct. 22. Sandra Eastman continues as deputy reeve.
Council also set its meeting dates, reviewed its remuneration schedule and appointed councillors to various committees until the end of the term next year.
Lastly, council adopted its newly-developed vision statement “Progressive. Prosperous. Peaceful” and its mission statement “Providing accountable leadership for exceptional quality of life” will guide council for years to come. Both statements were crafted during a strategic planning session in September.
Regular meetings will continue on the second Tuesday of each month at 9 a.m. and the fourth Tuesday at 5 p.m. No evening meetings occur in July, August and December.
“Coffee With Council” continues to occur each quarter with the next one occurring Nov. 26 at 3 p.m. in council chambers. It was created so residents can speak to council members in-person without any subject matter pertaining to the M.D.
“We are honoured to serve our region and deeply appreciate the engagement of our residents,” says Willing.
“We encourage ratepayers to feel free to reach out, attend council meetings, and participate in our Coffee With Council sessions. Your voice matters to us!” he concludes.
