The County of Two Hills has a duty to share information with the people they serve, which is where accountability begins. With the intent of increasing the populations awareness of the present fiscal condition and wellbeing of the county and its residents, Division 4 Councillor Sebastien Dutrisac held a residents meeting on April 17, 2023 in Boian.

Discussion that night revolved around:

• County financials for 2022,

• Land Use Bylaws,

• Fires, fire permits, cost of fire response and insurance

• Advocacy results for 2022

• Grant opportunity

Residents participated in the discussion appreciated the improved communication and look forward to more financial and public information shared in an easy-to-use, readily understandable system, which would allow taxpayers to see clearly how public servants are spending tax money and gives citizens the ability to hold their elected officials accountable. Transparency is a fundamental component of democratic government and addresses the rights of citizens to know about activities of their government.
