Agriculture, roads and communications are the same priorities in Kang Meas, Cambodia as they are in the County of Newell.
County councillor Anne Marie Philipsen represented council when she traveled to Cambodia in July with the county’s economic development project coordinator, Michelle Gietz.
It was the second trip as part of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and the Canadian International Development Agency’s international program to assist underdeveloped communities implement economic development projects.
In their July meeting, Philipsen and Gietz have guided the community to determine their top priorities.
They met with 60 councillors.
Six councillors represent one commune (division) and each division has 10,000 people. In addition there were representatives from the district council.
