Rural municipalities want better communication with the province
Some rural municipalities in the Peace say they are having trouble communicating with the provincial government.
A resolution originally started by The County of Northern Lights, now being pushed ahead by the County of Grande Prairie, will ask the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties to lobby the province to come up with a protocol for such communication.
County of Grande Prairie Reeve Leanne Beaupre says there have been some issues with this, although that depends on the ministry.
“There just seems to be so (many) different avenues to go. Some of them will respond to you directly, some you have to work through a scheduling assistant, some of them you’re required to have advance notice. It’s all over the board. There’s not one avenue that you can take that you are assured that you are getting a response back from who you made the request to.”
