Portage la Prairie's new city manager had his first taste of City of Portage council Monday night when he was also officially appointed to the role.

"It's really exciting to make it official, and it's really exciting to work with council and administration here in Portage," says Nathan Peto. "I'm just really happy to be part of this team and really looking forward to living here in Portage."

Peto adds he enjoyed the meeting, noting he learns how every council works differently and saw how mayor and council ran theirs this week. He adds it was an efficient meeting, and notes he's thrilled about the exciting work going on in our city.
