Today MLA Lunty and I had another productive meeting with the Mid Sized City Mayors Caucus (MCMC). Having these regular meetings makes sure that Albertans are being well served by their governments both provincially and municipally.
Mid-sized cities are vital to Alberta’s economy and quality of life, serving as regional hubs for jobs and services.
Through MCMC, communities align priorities and advance practical solutions to shared pressures like infrastructure, housing & affordability!
