Council Meetings during Covid-19

Town of Magrath • March 23, 2020

Town Council and administration are working to find ways that the public is able to listen to Town Council meetings during the COVID-19’s social distancing restrictions. Recognizing that our Council Chambers only has space for a very limited number of public participants during these restrictions enacted by the Province’s Chief Medical Officer, administration will temporarily facilitate a teleconference line for community members to be able to call in to and listen to a meeting while these restrictions are in place. The Public are still welcome to attend the meeting at the Town Hall unless the gallery is at capacity. The call-in number is 1-587-328-1099 and the meeting ID will be 701 301 497 for the Council Meeting on March 24th 2020, at 6:00PM.

The Town has been hard at work tackling the invasive goldfish in our storm water pond, and we’ve made real progress! Over the past 3 days, in the first of 2 pesticide applications that will be performed, the Town’s staff have removed more than 64,000 (and counting!) goldfish totalling 570kg. As part of the licensing process, the fish must be counted and properly disposed of. While it may seem unusual to tally up tens of thousands of goldfish, this step is important for environmental reporting and accountability. We again want to remind residents that although goldfish look harmless in an aquarium, goldfish in our storm water system grow quickly, upset the natural balance, and put local ecosystems at risk. Goldfish can spawn as much as once per month during the spring and summer and unchecked a population of goldfish can grow exponentially. Thank you for your patience as this work continues.
