Spot something not quite right? Submit the MD’s online Action Tracker Form 10 Municipal employees work hard to keep the region running smoothly, but they can’t be everywhere at once... and there’s a lot of ground to cover in Lesser Slave River. Often, the eyes and ears of residents can be the MD’s first sign that something’s wrong. The Municipal Action Tracker system is designed as a quick, convenient and confidential way for the public to bring issues to the attention of different Lesser Slave River departments. From potholes and road kill to property matters, simply submit the form available online at mdlsr.ca/Action-Tracker and your issue will be escalated in accordance to its severity and available resources. However, please remember, in the event of a fire, police, medical or other emergency requiring immediate assistance, dial 911. MD Launches Bench Dedication Program The MD is pleased to announce the launch of its new Bench Dedication Program. Under this program, an important date, a personal message, or the name of a loved one can now accompany park benches that will be placed in scenic locations across the municipality. Each commemorative bench will be accompanied by a bronze plaque with a personal message. It can mark the memory of a friend or family member, celebrate a birthday or anniversary, or observe any other type of significant event. The program is open to individuals and groups alike. Program fees The Bench Dedication Program is intended to be operated on a full cost recovery basis. A donation fee of $4,000 per dedication bench and plaque is required to cover the purchase, installation, long-term maintenance and administrative costs of approved benches in perpetuity. Maintenance funding is placed into a perpetual care reserve account for supporting the program. Please note that program fees are reviewed annually by Council and are subject to change.
