While members of council are in Corner Brook this month to attend the Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador annual conference and trade show, two staff members will be preparing for professional development trips of their own.
Chief Administrative Officer Cassie Rideout will attend the Municipal Communication Conference in Toronto from November 24-26, while Director of Recreation and Community Safety, Jason Collins, will attend the Canadian Parks and Recreation Association Conference in Ottawa from November 23 – 25.
Council approved the trips – paid for out of an annual professional development budget — unanimously during the October 21 public meeting.
“Professional training is fabulous,” said councillor Bill Antle. “It gives us an opportunity to go out into the marketplace and see what others are doing.”
