From November 24 to 28, you'll get the chance to learn the ins and outs of what is going on within the Gilbert Plains Municipality.
Council has declared November 23 to 29 as Municipal Government Awareness Week, and throughout the week, officials will host different events to mark the week.
Have you ever wondered where your water comes from? On November 24, you can join in on a tour of the G3 Water Plant, says CAO Courtney Roehl.
"Our water operators will be up there to explain how our entire system works," said Roehl. "Where the water comes from, how it gets dispersed throughout our municipality, Grandview, and the RM of Dauphin."
If you're interested in taking part in this tour, call 548-2326 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. There will be transportation. If you need a ride, meet at the municipal office at 9:30.
On November 25, it's time for a hearty pancake and sausage breakfast from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m. at the Public Works Shop.
"The shop will be open so you can take a look around at it and the equipment," continued Roehl. "You can talk to the guys and see what they do around the municipality."
On Thursday, the festivities continue with "Stop, Drop, & Roll". This is where you can meet the heroes that serve and protect the community from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Fire Department.
"We'll have some of our local firefighters showing their equipment," offered Roehl. "We just got a new rescue truck. You can try on some equipment and learn what our department does."
On Friday, you can have Coffee With Council at the Council Chambers from 2:30 to 3:30.
"It's allowing our ratepayers and citizens to come talk to council, have a cup of coffee, and ask any questions they have," commented Roehl.
You're invited to join the municipality for these fun and informative days throughout the week.
"Yeah, it's very exciting to be able to educate more of our citizens and ratepayers on exactly what municipal government is and what we're responsible for," she ended.
That's Municipal Government Awareness Week, November 23 to 29, and the Gilbert Plains Municipality is looking forward to celebrating.
