This came down earlier this week, but it’s worth noting.
The City of Edmonton has a bunch of boards, commissions and agencies that help do stuff around city hall.
Some of them look at issues, others get to decide stuff and make recommendations. Some of them are probably boring.
That doesn’t mean they aren’t all important, but let’s be honest. I covered a couple of library board meetings during college and while I think libraries are integral and important, the meetings lacked a certain pizazz.
But…if you’ve got some time, and you’ve got some interest in helping build a great city from the inside out (or if any of these specific boards catch your eye for reasons of personal interest) then you should apply to help out.
What’s the worst that could happen? You fall asleep at a meeting and accidentally vote to make every Friday night in Edmonton UFC-themed? (See Combative Sports Commission.)
