Dale McBain says he took a lot of new information away from the national conference held in Calgary recently.

 

Moose Jaw Mayor Dale McBain back at home with new ideas to share.

McBain was at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Conference in Calgary where leaders gather to talk about the hot topics affecting them right now.

McBain says everybody he met had questions about Moose Jaw. "I saw people from right across the country... and the three top items of conversation were the spa, the tunnels, and the multiplex. People closer home were talking about the multiplex and folks a little farther away from Saskatchewan were wanting to talk about the tunnels."

McBain took part in several seminars at the conference talking about what other cities are doing to improve themselves. McBain notes we have a few things in common when it comes to environmental initiatives with the bigger cities, such as changing city vehicles to natural gas.
