Community Conversations
Through the end of 2013 and into 2014, Mayor Christina Benty is hosting a series of lunch-time "Community Conversations" meetings at the Golden Civic Centre in the hopes of sharing what the Town of Golden can offer and what community's constituents need to be engaged in civic affairs.
