Long-time city councillor Judy Kolada passed away this weekend.

 

Kolada served as a city councillor for Thompson for nearly 25 years, served in multiple city council committees during that time, and worked with four mayors.

 

Mayor Colleen Smook says one of the initiatives Kolada was proud of was the creation of the Memorandum of Understanding between Manitoba and Nunavut.

 

The agreement was authored and signed during her time as the president of the Northern Regional Development Corporation Board.

 

Smook adds that Kolada was always involved when it came to plans for the downtown homelessness strategy, as well as in various boards and committees in the community at large.

 

Smook goes on to say that the City of Thompson offers their condolences to Kolada’s family.
