Edmonton Police Service (D. Loken)

 

 

 

Councillor D. Loken, on behalf of City Council, introduced two of the city's internationally recognized police officers, Constables C. Anderson and T. Tebbutt. They won the 2015 Captain "Gus" Crawford Memorial Aircrew of the Year Award from the Airborne Law Enforcement Association. They received this award because of a very difficult call they were able to resolve safely, despite a number of challenges and threats to public and police safety. A short video was shown to Members of Council.

 

 

 

 

 

 

UrbanYEG (S. McKeen)

 

 

 

Councillor S. McKeen, on behalf of City Council, recognized UrbanYEG, which is an Instagram account that was created by C. Rin. An appreciation of thanks was extended to the whole UrbanYEG team, for working to create an accessible, inclusive and connected community of people around a common passion for capturing Edmonton's beauty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edmonton Outdoor Neon Sign Museum (S. McKeen)

 

 

 

Councillor S. McKeen, on behalf of City Council, recognized the partners who have all contributed to a project that has become one of Edmonton's showcase destinations - the Neon Sign Museum.

Bergen Op Zoom (D. Iveson)

 

 

 

Mayor D. Iveson, on behalf of City Council, recognized the delegates from Bergen Op Zoom. During the World War II Battle of Scheldt, Allied troops liberated the citizens of the Dutch city of Bergen Op Zoom from German Forces. These troops from the South Alberta Regiment, were met with cheers and applause from grateful residents who had been hiding in their basements for weeks to avoid the fighting.
