It has been a rough week of annexation talks in Leduc County, as the mayor is urging both sides to work better together as one region.
Mayor John Whaley is hoping Edmonton realizes they are willing to work together and they have nothing against annexation.
“We just need to work together in this capital region; the public do not know where the borders are, they just want the services given to them,” he says.
For the last year and a half, Edmonton has been trying to take two huge parcels of land on either side of the QE ll, including the airport and Nisku Industrial Business Park. Whaley says residents have been telling him they all need to prosper, so that’s the message they plan to convey going ahead.
The provincial government and municipal affairs minister will render the final decision which isn’t expected for some time.
