New member appointed to Bruderheim Library Board

BY JOHN MATHER

At their regular Feb. 1 council meeting Bruderheim ratified the appointment of Sharron Velt to the Bruderheim Municipal Library Board.

Following the appointment Councillor Ashely Carter, who sits on the library board, reported to council that at least three more residents had signalled their interest in sitting on the board.

“Right now they can’t commit to being board members but they did come to our last meeting to get more information on how the board operates,” said Carter. “We’re hoping they return and do apply to join the board.”

Mayor Karl Hauch added his thanks to Velt for stepping forward and all others who might want to join the board.

Hauch also had council pass a motion to declare Feb. 22 Pink Day in the Town of Bruderheim. The day honours people wearing pink shirts to support several anti-bullying campaigns put on across the country.

In making the proclamation he said one in five kids experience some form of bullying.

Pink Shirt Day originated in Nova Scotia when a boy was being bullied in school and some others wore pink shirts to show their support for the bullied student.

$1,505,905 in debt ceiling.

Presenting the summary to council she said the accountants had found no difficulties during the audit.

She added there were no significant changes to the accounting policies, nor did the auditors identify any alternative accounting policies that would have been more appropriate in the circumstances, and they didn’t find any significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas.

“The Town did not bad this year,” she concluded.

“This audit is a very nice one to do,” she continued stating the office staff did a good job and they are always ready when the auditors show up each year.

She then handed out a letter to be signed by each of the councillors acknowledging they had read the audited statements and agreed with the comments made by the auditors.

Council then passed a motion to accept the financial statements as presented.
