The City of Dauphin and the Parkland Chamber of Commerce hosted the State of the City this afternoon at the Watson Art Centre.

One of the many topics discussed was a Climate Action Plan resolution the city plans to bring to the Association of Manitoba Municipalities meeting in June. Mayor Christian Laughland spoke about why they are bringing this resolution forward.

We look at Vermillion Park right now and it's flooded out and we don't want it to get much worse than that and that's what we're looking at here, to have a climate action plan in place not only for the City of Dauphin, I think the City of Dauphin has done really well over the past ten years, but kind of bring the whole province in on that and get a whole buy-in from the province of Manitoba, and I think that's going to be the case.

Mayor Laughland also spoke about a number of new developments in the city, and everything else that will be going on this year. Stay tuned to CKDM as we continue to cover all of the information from the State of the City.
