Police college headlines open house

The police college project manager will be in Fort Macleod on Monday, May 28 to discuss the $110-million project.

Bill Meade, along with other people involved in the Alberta Police and Peace Officer Training Centre, will attend an open house at the community hall.

“We will have an opportunity for anyone to ask questions of the engineer and project manager for the police college,” Mayor Shawn Patience said.

The Town of Fort Macleod’s annual open house runs from 5-7:30 p.m. at the Fort Macleod and District Community Hall.

In addition to the police college, there will also be information at the open house about designated assisted living facilities.

“Chinook Health will have a table with a video presentation and a staff member manning it,” Coun. Ken Williams said.

The Town of Fort Macleod’s 2006 financial statement will be available at the open house, along with a list of capital projects council has approved for the next year.

An update on the realignment of Highway 2 and Highway 3 will also be provided.

“I directed (Alberta Transportation) to prepare consultation boards,” said Shawn Wells, municipal manager for the Town of Fort Macleod.

Information will also be available to anyone considering running for council in the municipal elections in October.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has been invited to have a booth at the open house to promote its emergency preparedness fair in June. Council has also extended invitations to FCSS, the Empress Theatre, The Fort – Museum of the North West Mounted Police to have displays.

Council will provide coffee, juice and doughnuts.
