Weyburn City Council held their regular council meeting on June 22 before moving to one meeting per month for July and August.
Many of the Council items dealt with the kick off to summer. The dates of the Weyburn Agricultural Society Annual Fair were announced as June 29-July 1. The Weyburn Agricultural Society Rodeo will be held July 17-19. Council also approved a new food truck, Floss Boss, that will be operating in conjunction with the fair.
Throughout the summer, Weyburn will be participating in Communities in Bloom for the first time since the flood. All you gardeners and green thumbs are encouraged to help the city explode with colour. The Communities in Bloom judges will be through the city in late July - early August.
On more serious business, the City Police reported to Council that the Violence Intervention office has acquired a trauma dog for use in emergency situations. Trauma dogs help to comfort victims in the aftermath of crisis situations.
In addition to being the season of sun and fun, summer is also the season of roadwork. City crews are putting up new traffic signs on King Street to moderate traffic through the school zones. Crews will also start painting road lines within the next ten days. Finally, all residents are reminded of the ongoing bridge closure on Government Road.
