Clearwater County and the Village of Caroline are getting together this week for an amalgamation negation meeting.

The first inaugural meeting for Clearwater County & Village of Caroline Amalgamation Councils Committee of the Whole will take place Nov. 2, at 1:00 pm.

Officials say the purpose of these meetings is for negotiation purposes only and will continue on a regular basis.

At the last meeting, officials say it is important to note that no final decision was made about amalgamation by either Village Council or Clearwater County council. Officials note the decision must be made by both the County and the Village, and then a request will be sent to the Province of Alberta.

Regular project updates on the amalgamation will be made once available and can be found here.
