Oct 17, 2024 | 2:47 PM

Medicine Hat’s city council is holding a closed committee-of-the-whole meeting Thursday evening to discuss an “energy business matter”.

No further details were given, as is standard for closed council sessions.

Closed meetings, known also as going “in-camera”, are permitted under Alberta’s Municipal Government Act for situations where a public meeting could be harmful to third party business interested, economic interests and several other reasons outlined in the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
