    Six runners-up will be selected as "Councillors" and will participate in a mock Public Council Meeting on May 6 at 6 pm to be televised by Rogers. 

    Municipal Awareness Week takes place from May 6th to the 10th. Staff at Corner Brook city hall have sent an email to all elementary schools about a poster contest students can enter. The poster must represent what Corner Brook means to them. The winner will receive a $100 Visa gift card and the winning poster will be used to promote events during the week.  There’s also the “Mayor for the Day Essay Contest.” An invitation was sent to all grade 6 students to write a one-page essay explaining what they would do if they were Mayor. The winner will be invited to City Hall to learn about the position and to have supper with the Mayor. Six runners-up will be selected as "Councillors" and will participate in a mock Public Council Meeting on May 6 at 6 pm to be televised by Rogers.
