Bruderheim council ‘Zooms’ in for meeting
The town of Bruderheim council and staff are continuing to think outside the box in terms of conducting business and supporting residents during the pandemic.
Chief administrative officer Patty Podoborozny explained how town council meetings are being held while adhering to social distancing policies.
“Our last council meeting, held on Mar. 31, had myself, director of legislative services Sherry Cote and councillor Len Falardeau in attendance,” she said. “While councillor George Campbell was absent, Mayor Karl Hauch, deputy mayor Judy Schueler, and councillors Wayne Olechow, Pat Lee and Dan Skousbal attended by way of the Zoom application.”
Zoom is an online cloud-based video conferencing service. While the pandemic is limiting the availability of people to meet in person, organizations are having to look at other way to conduct business.
“I don’t have a modern computer yet so I stay away from those things if I can help it. I don’t even like to go on Facebook. But if I have to I will try,” said councillor Len Falardeau. “Councillors are not forced to stay home. I think this will be short term.”
In addition to creative ways to conduct council meetings, the town staff have also come up with creative ways to support residents during this time when access to food may be limited. They have instituted a ‘pop-up’ food bank located at the town office.

“The County of Lamont food bank is only open on Thursdays and we were concerned about residents not having access to food,” Podoborozny explained.
She went on to add that the mini pop-up food bank is available to residents Mon. to Fri. 8 am – 4pm. Podoborzny added that donations are gratefully accepted.
“People that live paycheque to paycheque cannot go out and buy groceries for four weeks at one time. They only have enough money to worry about this week,” she said.
