Some interesting news came out of the April 28 Kindersley Town Council meeting.
But, before council reconvened for their second meeting of the month, another successful "Smile Cookie Week" got underway nationwide.
As you can see below, familiar faces from town council partnered with members of the local museum board all week long for the local initiative. All of the cookies purchased in Kindersley went towards repairs for a leaky roof at the museum, and final totals should be expected this week.
Putting away their smile cookies for the day, the evening of April 28 also marked the most recent meeting for Kindersley Town Council.
While the town didn't disclose what it's for, the council meeting did confirm that some special plans are in the works for an upcoming event.
"The Council of the Town of Kindersley resolved to direct Administration to send a letter of support for the application to have the Canadian Armed Forces do a fly over in Kindersley."
