The Reeve of the Municipal District of Greenview says there is a lot of work to do following the Grande Cache vote in favour of dissolution.  Out of 1,097 ballots, 1,065 voted to dissolve the town into the M.D. of Greenview.

Dale Gervais says an official document has to be prepared first.

“To go to cabinet and the cabinet will most likely have an order in cabinet to transfer the assets and liabilities in the Town of Grande Cache to the M.D. of Grande Cache.”

He says when it comes to the day to day operations, not much will change for residents.

“We would maintain the same level of service, we are not going to cut any services. The tax structure for residents and businesses in Grande Cache, there’s going to be a lot of work there determining what’s going to happen there and how we are going to go about it.”
