New RM office aiming to open in December 2017
Preliminary construction has started on the new office for the Rural Municipality of Meadow Lake. The site is just south of the Four Season’s hotel on 9th Street West. Bexson Construction out of Lloydminster is work on the building.
The RM’s Chief Administrative Officer Gina Bernier said that the new building will give more room and space for files and meetings.
“It’s been a discussion for a few years, but our Council decided last year that our current has gotten a bit small,” she noted. “We have a lot of records to be kept permanently. We’re aiming to have a fireproof safe built into this new building to safely retain our permanent records – and we have a lot.”
She said that the RM often holds large meetings, and the new facility will allow the RM to hold more cost effective meetings.
