New Staff to Serve you Better

Please join me in welcoming Peter Stevens, and Anne Pilgrim to our Town Staff! Peter is our Maintenance Person and has been working with the town since November. He oversees all water maintenance, chlorine checks, and other related town duties. Peter has been very busy since he has started work with the Town; he has done some training with the College of the North
Atlantic as well as trained in dealing with Chlorine and water issues. In March Peter will be attending a Clean and Safe drinking water workshop. He is already settled into his position and is doing a great job so far! Also, In
February 2018 we hired a Casual Town Clerk. Anne Pilgrim has been hired to assist the Town Clerk with everyday office duties. Anne has been very busy with training and is learning very quickly, and is proving to be a great fit for this position. Both positions are being funded through the wage subsidy program.

What’s Happening in Main Brook for March 2018

The Town Councillors have been working tirelessly to keep things up to date with other communities and government agencies. Councillors have attended conventions and workshops which have given them a better understanding of
how the town operates. They have participated in PMA, MNL conventions, attended a council orientation workshop, are members of the Northern Peninsula Joint Council Committee. This committee is made up of a group of Municipal leaders who come together to discuss and try to resolve common
issues/concerns facing all municipalities. As well, this coming April, they will be attending Municipalities Newfoundland Labrador Regional Meetings in Rocky Harbour.

It is with great pleasure to finally let you know that the New Generator for the Town has arrived! Work is currently being completed to hook up the generator. It has been a long time coming and a lot of barriers got in the way, but finally
councils efforts and determination have payed off!
The Town Council submitted applications to the Gas Tax Secretariat for pumphouse upgrades Costing $25,053.12 and Lift Station Upgrades costing $8124.45.
