Town of Coaldale and City of Lethbridge receive 2018 Minister Awards for Municipal Excellence
LETHBRIDGE – Cohesive work with Indigenous partners and proactive emergency management training were the focus of awards handed out to the City of Lethbridge and the Town of Coaldale by Municipal Affairs Minister Shaye Anderson on Tuesday, Aug. 21 at City Hall.
Anderson says the Minister’s Awards for Municipal Excellence are very important to him because its an opportunity to go out and recognize communities that are doing great work.
“We have municipal officials and people out there that sometimes don’t get that recognition because they work behind the scenes a lot. This is a fun one for me to go out and make sure that they know we realize it’s a big deal what they do, and that people [in their communities] should know about it too.”
The Town of Coaldale established an effective, well-rounded and collaborative emergency management training program that has improved the level of emergency preparedness and public safety.
