The City of Lloydminster has voted in favour of the Regional Emergency Management Collective (REMC) agreement with nine municipalities around the border city.

At Monday’s council meeting, the service provision agreement was ratified with a member contribution of $3 per populous model:

The pooled resources will see Lloydminster as the manager of emergency management and fill the role of regional director of emergency management to oversee goals, objectives, and initiatives established by the communities.

Grant funding from Alberta, Saskatchewan, and the Canadian government will also be reviewed, indicates the council documents.

Gerry has lived in Lloydminster since winter 2010. That detail is important as coming from the Caribbean he did not see green grass until May. 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.
