POLL: Mayor implementing ‘Lookout Prince Albert’ citizen program
The mayor of Prince Albert is planning to implement a new program aimed at getting the city’s residents to look out for each other.
The program will be called ‘Lookout Prince Albert’ and Mayor Greg Dionne will be rolling out the new program over the next few weeks. He said the program will look out for the homeless, as the city awaits a report from the Board of Police Commissioners and the HUB looking at solutions for the problem of freezing deaths.
The mayor plans to make the rounds at various media outlets to promote the program. He said the program will engage taxi drivers, the media and Parkland Ambulance.
“The biggest challenge that we have when it’s 30, 40 below is locating people in trouble. And the last unfortunate gentleman that succumbed to the weather, we had seven cars out that night. We were very successful as a force, to find three and take them home to a safe place,” he said.
