Power sale opposition taking action
Poll
Do you agree with the city’s decision to collapse certain advisory boards into one, nine-member Community Vibrancy Board?
Yes
A local advocate for retaining public ownership of the city’s power generating company says a “strategic review of alternatives” is beginning to form even though council members say they have heard relatively little feedback on the subject.
Alison Van Dyke says that might be compared to the recent debate about public mask use, when councillors say up to a thousand emails were received, but the potential sale of a public asset demands local government solicit substantial public consultation.

Turnbull first to declare he will seek council seat in October
Poll
Yes
Phil Turnbull is the first in Medicine Hat to declare he will seek to win a council seat next October, four days after the race officially started.
New local election laws allow candidates to submit paperwork on Jan. 1, rather than a nomination day closer to the Election Day, this year on Oct. 18.
Turnbull, who is serving his second term as a city council member, told the News on Tuesday that he hasn’t officially filed his nomination form, but has become the first person to declare his or her intentions.
