During the monthly municipal meeting councillors approved a $500 donation to the P.E.I. Association of Newcomers to Canada to assist with a multicultural festival the organization will hold in Alberton on July 22.
They also approved the use of the Old Stone Station Park for a back-to-school party the Alberton Apostolic Pentecostal Church is planning for Aug. 25 and supported a resolution seeking to have the first Saturday in June declared a National Health and Fitness Day. Council will also seek to organize a special event to mark that occasion.
