In Memoriam
A memorial display for Mayor Paul Krauskopf was set up in Council Chambers Wednesday morning, allowing residents to pay their respects and sign a Book of Condolence. The Morinville Community Library also has a Book of Condolence, a tribute to Krauskopf’s past affiliation with the library as Library Board Chair.

The mayor’s funeral will be held July 5 at 10:15 a.m. at St. Jean Baptiste Church, graveside service at the Morinville Cemetery to follow. A reception will be held after the Mass at the Morinville Community Cultural Centre.

In lieu of flowers, the Paul Krauskopf Memorial Fund has been set up by the family at the Morinville Servus Credit Union to accept donations for a permanent memorial in town.
