On August 23 and 24, members of the Brookline team travelled to Lloydminster to conduct media training with Mayor Jeff Mulligan as well as members of City Council and municipal Directors and Managers. Known as Canada’s “Border City”, Lloydminster is uniquely located half in Alberta, and half in Saskatchewan. Along with the regular excitement and challenges of managing the needs of a growing city, Lloydminster’s inter-provincial geographic location also presents other dilemmas, such as GST and PST, Daylight Savings Time, and of course, which CFL football team to cheer for! Working with the city’s representatives over two days, Brookline shared tips and tactics to help city representatives feel at ease in front of the camera. We appreciated the warm hospitality from Lloydminster and Mayor Mulligan, and look forward to returning to lovely Lloydminster one day soon!
