National Public Works Week takes place May 20 - 26, 2018, and is recognized across North America as an opportunity to educate residents about public works and celebrate the work these professionals provide. 

"Public works professionals work hard to provide and maintain essential public services. They are often the hidden heroes of winter storm and rainfall events, and they work hard behind the scenes to deliver high-quality drinking water, to name a few," said Kerri Marshall, General Manager - Infrastructure & Operations. "Our community depends on our public works professionals, who are always there and always ready." 

National Public Works Week is a great way to showcase the work these individuals do for our community as well as thank them for their dedication.  Please join us in recognizing their work.
