A member of the public will also make a request to council to allow them to paint crosswalks orange on Sept. 30, ‘Orange Shirt Day’ as a part of an awareness campaign.

There will also be an update from administration about the road construction on 15th Street East.

Administration will provide options that showcase a break in a recently installed median, outside businesses on the south side of the road.

Many business owners who are impacted by the median, also sent in letters of complaints to council. There will be a verbal presentation from Chad and Brandy Mogg who own Dr. Java’s Coffee House and Tom McKay who owns the Great Canadian Oil Change.

The meeting will begin at 5 p.m. Due to recent provincial health restrictions, it will not be open to the public.
