City Council voted on Monday night to endorse one of their own to run for a spot on a federal board.
Councillor Judy Kolada has put her name forward as a nominee to sit on the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Board of Directors.
The FCM is made up of elected officials from across the country that represents the interest of municipalities on policy and program matters that fall within federal jurisdiction.
Councillor Kolada talks about what it would mean to have a Thompsonite on the Board of Directors.
“I would lobby as a region for what we need in the north. In the past, we’ve been lucky enough to get infrastructure funding through FCM lobbying. We need to have a voice in the north, particularly from Thompson.”
The election will be held during the FCM’s Annual Conference and Trade Show, taking place from June 3rd to 6th.
