“It’s an interesting way to get involved, help shape policy and make an impact on your community,” said Frieda McDougall, Deputy City Clerk. “What better way to drive change and help create a more sustainable Red Deer.”
Three citizen representatives are needed for the Municipal Features Naming Committee, which is a new committee this year. “Committee members will evaluate proposals for the naming or renaming of things like buildings, parks, trails, bridges, recreation facilities and natural features,” said McDougall.
The Municipal Feature Naming Committee will meet quarterly unless special meetings are called to address specific issues.
