As Mayor, I receive many requests or inquiries. They arrive in different ways; most come by mail, email or phone. The invitations are often to bring greetings or a welcome on behalf of City Council and the City of Lloydminster. At other times, I am invited to be a guest at a gala, banquet or celebration. All these events are great opportunities for our community’s hospitality to shine brightly.

Once again, we look to make sure that we’re prepared in case of an emergency. This year, cooking fires is the focus of the Fire Prevention Week campaign, October 8-14. There are many aspects to fires and cooking, and some I would encourage you to think about include barbecues, stovetops, ovens, toasters and the like. Always ensure the cooking device is not touching something that may light on fire. 

Lloydminster, AB/SK – The Lloydminster Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®) — the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week^TM (FPW)  for more than 100 years — to promote this year’s FPW campaign, “Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire prevention^TM.” The campaign works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take when cooking to keep themselves and those around them safe.

I regularly have the opportunity to meet people who have recently moved to Lloydminster. There are local farmers and ranchers retiring, those leaving the big cities looking for a slower pace of life and housing that is more affordable. Lloydminster is also home to those who have moved from somewhere far off to answer the call for employment opportunities. Thank you for choosing Lloydminster.
