The Rural Municipality of Gimli has released its April 2026 newsletter, keeping residents updated on municipal activities and upcoming events. The publication, released on April 20, 2026, is available on the Rural Municipality of Gimli website.
Among the key updates, the newsletter follows a recent public hearing regarding the 2026 Financial Plan, which took place at the Municipal Building located at 62 2nd Ave on April 15, 2026. The municipality also noted that public hearing materials for the Crystal Springs (Harbour) Colony Lagoon were posted on April 17, with sessions occurring between April 21 and April 23, 2026.
The community is also being teased with news of an upcoming event on May 17, 2026, which the newsletter promotes only as “Something BIG is Happening.” No further details regarding the nature of this event have been provided by the municipality.
These updates arrive as the local government continues a period of transition. Following an independent investigation that found several allegations against Mayor Kevin Chudd to be founded, the mayor served a seven-day suspension in January 2026. Shortly thereafter, a councillor resigned, prompting the municipality to launch a comprehensive governance review. This ongoing effort aims to ensure that all governing documents and operational by-laws are modern, consistent, and aligned with provincial legislation.
