2020 Original Email to City of Medicine Hat Parks + Recreation, Mayor and City Councillors: here
Please note: Communication from the original email was received from James Will, General Manager Parks Recreation Department and 2 city councillors: Phil Turnbull and Kris Samraj
Both Phil Turnbull and Kris Samraj called Michelle Campbell, MHMSA President, to discuss concerns and expressed an interest addressing our concerns.
Summary: As of mid-November, after email communication #4 a meeting was held with James Will (Parks/Rec Manager) and MHMSA: Michelle Campbell, Scott Plouffe, Chris Grad, Jay Pinnell, Josh Hudson, Scott Kelly. It was a very good meeting, one which MHMSA left feeling heard + understood and optimistically looking forward. Both groups (city and MHMSA) left the meeting with some "homework" and will reconvene either December or early 2021. Remaining diligent in our pursuit of safe, quality, equitable facility access must be a goal for MHMSA.
