Council Meeting Highlights (May 27, 2024)

The Council of the Town of Lanigan held a regular meeting on Monday, May 27, 2024, and following are highlights of the meeting:

  • A public hearing was held for the purpose of receiving representation for or against Bylaw 1/2024, being a bylaw to allow for Temporary Relocatable Work Camps within the C2 – Highway Commercial District as a discretionary use. There was no representation receive either for or against the proposed zoning amendment.
  • Council granted 2nd and 3rd readings to Bylaw 1/2024, which means that a Temporary Relocatable Work Camp could be considered as a discretionary use in the C2 – Highway Commercial District in Lanigan. It should be noted that there has been no discretionary use application received to date for a work camp in Lanigan. If a discretionary use application is received, a public hearing will be conducted and there will be a detailed evaluation of impact (pros/cons) and cost benefit analysis on the proposal.
  • Concerns were raised by Council about the amount of pothole repair work to be completed. Street sweeping is scheduled for May 28-31, which will open up more potholes in the community. Administration was directed to consider contracted services to assist with the volume of pothole patching and repairing.
  • Council were provided an update on the Thrive in Lanigan Phase II and Lanigan.ca website refresh projects. A new Lanigan.ca website will be developed and implemented, which will be more informative and user friendly. Both projects are scheduled to be completed by end of June to mid-July.
