Have you got a question that you think Kimberley Mayor Don McCormick may be able to answer? If so, head to engagekimberley.ca and look for the new online initiative ‘Ask the Mayor’.
This new program is designed to provide residents with direct access to the Mayor, to get answers to their questions about city operations, validate or dispel rumours, and gain insight into Council decision-making.
Prior to the Covid pandemic, McCormick hosted monthly Brown Bag Lunch sessions at city hall, where residents could have lunch with the Mayor and ask questions. These sessions proved quite popular but unfortunately ended due to social distancing.
"To maintain the value of the Brown Bag Lunch, but broaden the opportunity for more participants and therefore more questions, we are moving to an online version,” McCormick said. “Ask the Mayor is the place to ask questions and get a quick response to help avoid the rumour train. Answers and feedback will be published within 1-3 days. Nothing is out of bounds...as long as things are kept civil! Thanks in advance for engaging."
