Coun. Crystal Froese has been appointed to a municipal committee as a city council representative after no other councillor stepped forward in December to fill the position.
During its Jan. 13 regular meeting, council unanimously approved Froese to sit on the cultural diversity advisory committee from now until Nov. 9, or until a successor is appointed.
Council adopted motions to appoint council representatives to municipal boards, committees and commissions on Dec. 16, 2019. At that time, the councillors did not submit their name for appointment as the council representative to this particular advisory committee.
The city clerk/solicitor’s department received an email from Froese on Jan. 3 advising that she would put her name forward for appointment if no one else had.
