What makes a community special? Yes, its location makes it unique, the soil, flora and fauna, but more than anything, it’s the people who make a place.
This is certainly true for Wetaskiwin, a community that benefits from the extraordinary efforts of many caring and involved residents who donate their time and energy to ensure their home remains a secure, connected and inclusive community.
To showcase those efforts, the City of Wetaskiwin presents a Citizen of the Month Award, with the recipient recognized by Mayor and Council at the last council meeting of each month.
“The City of Wetaskiwin wants to recognize our exemplary citizens – if you know someone who deserves to be recognized for their outstanding contributions we want to hear about them,”says Karin Boddy, Legislative Executive Assistant for the City of Wetaskiwin
