To celebrate the 40th anniversary, an open house event will be held at the city depot on Wednesday, May 21, from 9 a.m. to 14 p.m. The event will give city residents the opportunity to explore the depot area and the city's machinery and vehicle fleet. On display will be, among other things, a grader, a suction truck, road maintenance trucks, wheel loaders, and urban tractors.
