Despite the library being closed today due to a small flood, the author talk is continuing in the foyer with Chicken Soup for the Soul author Glenice Wilson.

Claude Valcourt, Director of Public Works and Councillor Stephen Dafoe stand by two pieces of equipment obtained by the Town of Morinville through Municpal Sustainability Initiative (MSI) Allocations. The Tandem International 2016 7400 Workstar model truck to be used to haul snow or gravel on the left and on the right the CAT 140 M 2017 model grader. Valcourt said other equipment was also obtained from the same grant in the previous years. The display was coordinated at the Town of Morinville Public Works for the visit of Municpal Affairs Minister Shaye Anderson who unfortunately could not attend due to road conditions and time constraints.
The Minister also visited the Champion Petfood Faciltiy before going to Westlock and Barrhead.
