With his appearance at the November 13 presentation of renovation carried out at the sports and recreation facilities in San Nicolás de Ibarra, and kicking off the government-sponsored repainting of the town’s home exteriors, Chapala Mayor Moisés Anaya demonstrated that he’s already in the game for the 2020-2021 election season.

With the results of 2020 Census indicating that Chapala has surpassed the population threshold of 50,000 inhabitants, the number of cabildo (city council) seats open for occupancy in the 2021 election will increase from 11 to 14 for the next three-year term.

Congratulations are in order for José Isabel (Chabelo) González Valenzuela of Ajijic for his outstanding performance at the Ultra Trail de Mexico race held Saturday, November 14, in Zacatlán de las Manzanas, Puebla.

For the second time, the Jalisco Human Rights Commission (CEDHJ) has issued a stern recommendation to the Chapala government in connection with the May 2 detention of Preparatoria Chapala director Juan Ramón Álvarez López at the Covid-19 prevention “sanitary filter” roadblock set up on the highway entrance to the municipality at Chapala Haciendas.

Motorists, cyclists and pedestrians, beware! Work crews are now out on the highway west of Ajijic initiating demolition of concrete barriers and trench digging for the second leg of the ciclovia (cycle path) improvement project contracted by the state government.

Members of the Cruz Roja Chapala (CRC) administrative board were sworn into office Tuesday, November 17, at a belated ceremony delayed since March due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
