Looking to recruit

Times Reporter 

 

Dr. Fanning approached council at the Oct. 10 administration meeting about setting up a plan to recruit new full-service doctors to the community. One suggestion he had for recruiting is advertising in a number of forms, and another is meeting with students and promoting the town. At the Oct. 17 regular council meeting, council approved the creation of a Strathmore physician recruitment committee. 

Summer games

A committee has been formed for the Alberta 55 Summer Games Bid. Councillor Dave Hamilton and two community members had previously been appointed to the committee and as of Oct. 17 Gail Galusha and Joss Bins have also joined. 

Light issues 

Concerns were raised to Councillor Pat Fule via Facebook about the phased lights at the intersection of Hwy 1 and Lakeside Blvd. Early in the morning the turn signal for the north-facing lane has not been working. Councillor Earl Best goes through that intersection almost daily, and has encountered the problem. Chief Administrative Officer Dwight Stanford said the issue would be looked into.
