The Mount Pearl-Paradise Chamber of Commerce is hosting the Mayor’s Outlook for the city of Mount Pearl today.
Mayor Dave Aker will outline some of the city’s recent accomplishments and priorities for the year ahead.
Aker says the city is always going to be presented with challenges, but they are in good financial standing, they are engaged with the community, and overall he believes things are looking good.
He says the themes of his presentation will include the resilience of local businesses and residents, how they have recovered, and how Mount Pearl is in a different place now. He notes that inflation is “rearing its ugly head” but in the long run, he believes the city is good and safe.
Mayor Aker will deliver his address at the Mount Pearl Soccer Hut today over the lunch hour.
