Community Services Advisory Board

This new board is an amalgamation of the former Family and Community Support Services Board and the Parks, Recreation and Culture Committee.
The goal of the Board is to advise Council on policies which are consistent with the community's needs and to correlate various com-munity services offered by the Town of Bruderheim so as to make them responsive to the needs of the community.
Therefore, the Community Services Advisory Board will oversee the areas of FCSS and Recreation in our community!
The following board members were recently appointed to the Board by Town Council:
- Council Representative: Councillor Shelley Ross
- Council Alternate: Councillor Shayne Milliken
- Bethlehem Lutheran Church Representative: Laura Kupsch
- Moravian Church Representative: Pastor Jay Petrella
- Youth Representative: Brendon Milliken
- Youth Representative: Chantel Frechette
- Seniors Representative: Virginia Differenz
- School Representative: Sven Danzinger, Bruderheim School

- Member at Large and Lions Club Rep: Theresa Ratzloff
- Member at Large and Communities in Bloom Rep: Sherry Cote
- Member at Large: Jacquie Senchuk
- Member at Large: Joanne Bourque
