From the meeting of March 28, 2022

Mayor’s Update

On March 17, Mayor Pranger, and members of the Lets’emot Community to Community Forum had the opportunity to meet in-person with Premier Horgan to provide feedback as to the impact of the Atmospheric River disaster and response, as well as identifying areas for improvement.  Thank you to Mayor Popove and the City of Chilliwack for hosting the meeting and to MLA Dan Coulter, and MLA Kelli Paddon for facilitating this important discussion.

Mayor Pranger met with the Executive Director of Agassiz-Harrison Community Services; Grace Admiraal who is working to make sure all our community organizations are connected so we can all play an effective part in making our communities the best they can be.

Along with Chief Administrative Officer Mah and Directors of Engineering, Mick Theissen and Martin Rankin, we met virtually with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to discuss transportation issues. Ongoing communication will help build a better relationship.

Please continue to be kind, be safe and shop local.
