The Town Hall being hosted by the District of Fort St. James on Dec. 5 at the high school will stray a little from town halls of the past.
This year, the mayor and council will be there, but instead of just presenting to the crowd and then taking questions the structure of the town hall will be geared a little differently.
“I think it’s going to be great,” said Emily Colombo, economic development officer for the district.
Colombo has hired Ken Kilcullen from the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group in Prince George to moderate the meeting and the event will take place in three phases.
The first phase will allow attendees from the community to visit booths set up in the gym with information on some of the projects and initiatives district has been working on.
There will be councillors and committee members there to answer questions and there will be an opportunity for visitors to see the draft housing report and the draft master trails plan for the community.
There will be information on the community centre and, the volunteer fire department, public works will have a booth, and there will be information on what came out of the visioning session last March and council’s strategic priorities.
The second phase of the town hall will include tables with focus discussions on topics and there will again be councillors and committee
