Several Alberta municipalities including Lloydminster are benefitting from the Canada Community-Building Fund as the Alberta government is distributing this funding to support various infrastructure projects.

Lloydminster has received one million dollars to assist in upgrades to water, wastewater and roads.

Now an Alberta/Western Canada resident, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger proponent of Lloydminster than the news guy that appreciates a healthy dose of rock music and dress code leather. His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
