The RM of Westbourne and town of Gladstone could use cost-saving advise from the province if area residents agreed to it. With a nod from the public, investigation would be carried out in the amalgamation of the RM and town. Reeve Ed Stroeder feels the joining makes sense, saying it's an ideal long-term plan. Stroeder notes an investigation won't necessarily lead into amalgamation. The two entities already share several facilities and services, and if they came together Stroeder forecasts savings of about a million dollars over a four year period. |
