The County of Grande Prairie invites County residents to take part in a free scavenger hunt between May 14 and 24 to celebrate Public Works Week.
“Public works play an immense role in our communities,” said Dale Van Volkingburgh, Director of Public Works. “Our department plans, builds, maintains and operates water, sewer, waste removal systems, waste and recycle management programs, roads, streets bridges, traffic signage, and other essential infrastructure.”
“The scavenger hunt is a great, interactive way for everyone to recognize and learn more about what we do to make the County a safer and more sustainable place to live, work and play,” Van Volkingburgh added.
In a rare split in votes, the Red Wing City Council voted 3-3 in dispensing with the requirement for the Planning Commission to review vacating a portion of Minnesota Street.Â
Council members Becky Norton, Dean Hove and Andy Klitzke voted against the motion. Kim Beise, Evan Brown and Laurel Stinson voted for it. Council member Erin Buss was not in attendance for Mondayâs virtual meeting.Â
After the vote failed for lack of a simple majority, the council unanimously voted to send the request to the Advisory Planning Commission.
When a street is vacated, it means that it becomes private property.Â
