The Town of The Pas held a council meeting last Monday started off with a presentation by Turning Leaf Services, which is an organization that is trying to set up in The Pas. The organization recently held an open house in the community and put a call out for people to apply for employment.
The 2022 audit was thoroughly presented by Dion Bird from Baker Tilly HMA LLP.
The Citizens Period had a few delegations and presentation to council. Jenn Cook from the Northern Manitoba Trappers’ Festival presented and expressed concerns about the Trappers’ sign and location for the future.
“Our vision is to have a permanent fort in Devon Park,” said Cook. “At last town council meeting there was mention of Trapper’s sign and the world’s largest dogsled with regards to ownership and creating a permanent location for them. This spurred our board into reviving a vision that’s been lingering in the back of Trappers’ Festival Board Members’ minds, past and present, for a number of years, which is the idea of a permanent fort in Devon Park. The conversation around the council table regarding the two significant items, the sign and dogsled, reignited the conversation for the board, of a permanent fort in Devon Park.
