To the Editor,
The City of Lloydminster extends its sincere thanks to our Lloydminster news teams for the outstanding coverage of local events and stories in recent months.
Lloydminster is fortunate to have a contingent of hard-working local news reporters who care sincerely about quality reporting, often going the extra mile to capture the stories and photos that get people talking about their community and – most importantly – caring about their community.
The City of Lloydminster is particularly thankful to local media for coverage of our municipal community programs, from big events like Fall Fest, to travelling exhibits at the Lloydminster Museum + Archives, swimming events at the BioClean Aquatic Centre, and so much more.
Broad public awareness for events like these is critical to bringing people together, fostering an important sense of unity that makes Lloydminster welcoming for newcomers and invigorating for long-time residents.
Our Council also appreciates the excellent coverage coming from City Council meetings, where important municipal conversations and decisions occur on a near-weekly basis.
The call to community journalism is one answered by a chosen few, and we value the part you play in giving a voice to local community groups, businesses, and individuals that make Lloydminster a great place to live.
We look forward to your continued dedication to keeping the community informed and involved in the stories that shape our lives.
Mayor Gerald S. Aalbers
