Coun. Crystal Froese named to cultural diversity advisory committee

Appointments

Coun. Crystal Froese has been appointed to a municipal committee as a city council representative after no other councillor stepped forward in December to fill the position.

During its Jan. 13 regular meeting, council unanimously approved Froese to sit on the cultural diversity advisory committee from now until Nov. 9, or until a successor is appointed.
