Council has political will to finish Rotary Trail: Mayor
Prince Albert’s Rotary Trail announced it received significant donations from two community groups on Thursday at a media event where the city’s mayor revealed a couple changes to City Hall’s management of the project.
The Rotary Club presented the Prince Albert Multi-Use Recreational Trail committee with a cheque for $28,000. The funds were raised earlier in the year at the club’s annual LobsterFest event. The committee also received a $10,000 donation from the Summit Run.
At the cheque presentation event, Mayor Greg Dionne told the small crowd gathered at the Prince Albert Tourism Information centre that he is now the chief negotiator for the trail and the responsibility for the Rotary Trail at City Hall has been moved out of the community services department to public works.
As well, he said the Rotary Trail will be front and centre in the 2014 budget cycle.
