Jasper Fitzhugh about 2020 and what to anticipate for 2021. | J.McQuarrie photo Joanne McQuarrie, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter | reporter@fitzhugh.ca Last year presented many challenges, but Jasper Mayor Richard Ireland is looking at the positives of 2020 and those to come in 2021. “I think back to some of the things that happened in 2020 that are significant. It’s all COVID-related,” Ireland said. “One of the things that happened is our meetings going online. More people can watch (during the meeting), or later on, on Youtube. That has really been a positive outcome to the COVID environment.” With the municipal election slated for Oct. 18, Ireland said the virtual accessibility to meetings gives folks a look at working in public life.
