Winkler City Councilor and Deputy Mayor, Henry Siemens has thrown his hat in the ring to be the next mayor of the community.
Siemens says Winkler has been extremely blessed with a lot of growth over the last number of years, growth he says that requires a lot of pre-planning. He said he's intimately aware of that pre-planning, what still needs to be done, and what projects are almost ready to start. In that aspect, Siemens feels he brings a valuable piece of experience to the role, and could help with the continuity and the growth that needs to continue to happen.
Some of the upcoming projects he pointed out are the wastewater treatment plant, and the new three-storey health centre announced for last week for downdown Winkler.
