The Town of The Pas held a regular scheduled council meeting on August 16 in council chambers.
During the citizen’s period Dylan Young presented some questions to council about the responsibilities and procedures in relations to last year’s Canada Day. Young asked if the Town of The Pas put in any federal grant applications for Canada Day celebrations, who was responsible for organizing the Canada Day Parade, and if it was Kelsey Recreation. Council said that a Canada Day event committee is usually formed and Kelsey Recreation would sit on that committee, but they do not organize the event on their own. Council tried to explain to Young that no one organization is solely responsible for organizing it and in the past, it’s been a collaborative effort from a few different organizations.
