In a marathon four-hour city council meeting, the city’s elected officials began chipping away at recommended changes to the city’s emergency services infrastructure
Previously on the chopping block, both the Beaver Lake and Skead volunteer fire stations will now remain open, the city’s elected officials decided during Tuesday night’s meeting.During Tuesday night’s marathon four-hour city council meeting, a few sweeping changes to the city’s collection of emergency services infrastructure were approved.
Under the city-recommended plan, the Skead station would close permanently and consolidate with the Falconbridge and Garson stations at a new ideal location in Garson. During Tuesday’s meeting, Ward 7 Coun. Natalie Labbée opposed the initial motion on the table, which would have required at least 15 volunteer firefighters to sign up in Skead, and for the station to achieve an adequate participation rate . In the event these levels were not achieved, it would consolidate with a new station in Garson.
“I just want people to understand that Skead is a one-road town,” Labbée said. “There’s one road in and one road out.” With Beaver Lake long failing to meet the target minimum requirement of 15 volunteer members , Nicholls openly questioned whether they would achieve their goal.
