The RM of McKillop has reversed course on a 

building permit requirement on an agricultural 

residence. 

At issue was the determination by 

the Province’s Chief Building Official 

that the addition for farmers Leandra 

and Gerry Cameron was not 

subject to a building permit based 

on legislation which was further 

upheld by the RM’s own bylaw. 

Agricultural buildings, including 

houses, are exempt from building 

standards legislation unless a 

municipality has a building bylaw 

requiring higher standards than 

required in legislation. 

During the June 22nd meeting of 

Council, the Chief Administrative 

Officer Brandi Morisette said the 

RM was interpreting the legislation 

differently than the Ministry and 

recommended Council require and 

enforce the building permit. Councillor 

Garry Dixon made the motion 

which the Council unanimously 

approved. 

During the meeting, Reeve Bob 

Schmidt said he was aware of other 

similar permits that had been required; 

however, after requesting 

the information formally from the 

RM, they said there had been none 

since January of 2019. 

On Monday, the Camerons 

received an email from Morisette 

that said, “In the case of the addition 

of a sunroom to your dwelling, 

no building permit is required as 

previously communicated to you.” 

Morisette further said that the RM 

would be reviewing and amending 

their building bylaw. 

On the RM’s reversal, the Camerons 

say they aren’t surprised that 

the RM can’t enforce a building 

permit against the legislation and 

the RM’s own building bylaw. 

The RM is aware that Provincial 

legislation will be changing on January 

1st, 2022, which will no longer 

exempt agricultural houses from 

building standards. 

When contacted for comment 

on the reversal and review with 

possible amendments, Reeve Bob 

Schmidt said, “The building permit 

issue for a farm residence was actually 

due to a simple misunderstanding 

by the CAO. She recently met 

with the Chief building official and 

the applicant, and the matter has 

been resolved. The applicant was 

never charged any building permit 

fees.” 

Reeve Schmidt also said, “The 

misunderstanding came about 

because our new Zoning Bylaw 

definition of farm buildings did 

include farm residences. However, 

with so few farm residences building 

or additions being applied for (zero 

since 2019), it hasn’t come up since 

our CAO was hired. The proposed 

solution she recommended to Council 

has since been found to be not 

workable.” 

Schmidt also said the RM should 

not be taking any other action or 

changing the building bylaw because 

of the changes coming from 

the Provincial government. 

The Camerons were asked if they 

met with the CAO and Chief Building 

Official to resolve the matter, 

and they said they had not. They 

said they only learned they would 

no longer need the building permit 

from the email from the CAO on 

Monday.

The Council for the RM of Dufferin met for a special 

council meeting on Wednesday, June 22nd, at 4:30 

pm. The special meeting was scheduled to address 

the agenda items the Council could not get to at the 

June 9th meeting. The remainder of the June 9th 

agenda remained lengthy. 

Spring Clean Up Bins Survey Results 

Surveys were mailed out to the resorts of Kedleston, Highwood Beach, 

and Marion Heights regarding the spring clean-up bins that have been provided 

to area residents. After the majority of those surveyed said they did 

not want to continue the service funded through a sanitation levy, the RM 

council decided to discontinue the service. 

Money in Dedicated Lands Account 

A ratepayer submitted a request to the RM to confirm the amount of money 

in the RM’s reserve for dedicated lands. The reserve holds funds from 

the sale of municipal reserve land and money gathered from the RM’s boat 

slip leases. 

CAO Rodney Audette said there is approximately $22,000 in the account.

Re: June 

28th 2021 

edition 

article 

and LTE 

concerning 

RM 220 

The Last Mountain Times once again 

lowered its standards by letting hearsay and 

gossip reign free in a letter to the editor submitted 

by disgruntled former Reeve Howard 

Arndt in the June 28th edition. This LTE 

concerned a misguided article submitted by 

the LMT’s local journalism initiative reporter 

Ms Argue 

and was published in the same edition of 

the newspaper. How did that happen? Was 

there some collusion between the newspaper 

and their good friend, who always seems 

to have unfettered access to submit many 

questionable items in the past few years? 

Is Mr Arndt contributing to the articles as 

well? 

A few years ago, I had easily verifiable 

submissions turned down by the newspaper’s 

previous owner/editor because they 

were somewhat critical of an earlier RM 

Council. However, that newspaper policy 

has apparently gone by the wayside, considering 

what has been submitted lately by 

resentful former council members and a local 

reporter, who all seem not to accept the 

democratic change to the division boundaries 

in RM 220. 

Last week’s article submitted by Ms Argue 

and Mr Arndt’s impossibly quick response 

letter concerned a simple misunderstanding 

by the CAO in dealing with a development 

matter. 

Because our new Zoning Bylaw’s definition 

of “Farm Buildings” didn’t include farm 

residences, the applicant was asked to apply 

for a building permit. This week, after a 

meeting between the CAO, the Chief Building 

Official and the applicant, this matter 

was resolved. Unfortunately, Mr Arndt and 

Ms Argue chose to make this molehill into 

a mountain in their respective submissions, 

including adding inaccurate and irresponsible 

comments to incite hatred and harassment 

of RM staff and council. 

This reckless conduct can cause emotional 

and psychological harm to people. If the 

LMT editor does not remedy this ongoing 

situation, we will take whatever action is 

required to protect our RM staff and councillors.

THEY CAN BE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE 

McKillop Rural 

Ratepayers Left In The 

Dust 

This is the second year the RM has given out free dust control to unorganized hamlets and rural residents. 

Applications are required from rural ratepayers as they can purchase more dust control in addition to the 

free 60 meters. According to the dust control policy, there is to be a resolution for giving unorganized hamlets 

free dust control instead of an application process. In order to be accountable and transparent the resolution 

should include which unorganized hamlets will receive free dust control, the amount and the cost. There has 

been no such resolution. This year there were 2 different products used. The unorganized hamlets received 

used canola oil which works very well, rural residents got a different product which does not work at all. There 

have been numerous complaints from rural residents, and there is no decision from Council on what they 

plan to do to rectify this situation. Rural residents are the only ones required to submit application in March, 

it is July and we have no effective dust control. There were comments at the last general meeting, Council has 

received compliments and thank you notes from some residents who received their free dust control and are 

very happy with it. Meanwhile Council seems unsympathetic of the problems with the rural dust control as 

Councillor Gilbert commented, they are trying new things to give residents a bang for their buck and a thank 

you would be nice. These rural residents living on very busy high speed roads, some who purchase more than 

the free 60 meters are left in the dust! Rural residents paying for additional dust control out of pocket, that is 

not effective, are certainly not getting a bang for their buck. According to RM records last year the free dust 

control cost was $31,220.17 of which $5322.60 was the rural portion. 

There is a reason dust control is a user pay system in other RMs, as it is not a program that can be fair and 

equitable among all ratepayers. 

Points to Ponder - suds, 

seance, sea food 

RM McKillop Ratepayer,Leandra Cameron 

- Idea’s and opinions expressed here are those of the author 

Reading an article here the other day where a contractor 

in BC placed tide detergent on the rooftops of 

several buildings to combat roof rot, quite common in 

wet climates. Apparently worked well until it rained, the 

original cause of the roof rot after all, and washed all the 

tide detergent into the storm sewers. Where it, predictably, 

produced mountains of suds that burst out of the 

storm sewer mains and created an environmental issue 

in the local creeks and lakes. Which begs the question. 

Was it such a good idea to legalize marijuana? 

Then reading the other day where a group of people 

performed a seance for the dead trees in a New Hampshire 

home depot lumber yard. Apparently no 2x4s were 

resurrected and the group was peacefully escorted from the premises by police. 

Considering the price of lumber these days perhaps their prayers were, misdirected! See the above,once 

again concerning drug abuse. 

And last but not least I read of the fellow lobster fishing who had himself swallowed by a humpback whale, 

and spent over 30 seconds in the cetaceans mouth before the whale surfaced and released him. 

Happy ending to quite a story, but think here for a moment just what a life changing experience that could 

be. Has to be humbling to be consumed by a 50 ton animal only to be spat out as the foul tasting ,indigestible 

item, your sorry rear end consists of. Terrible pun, but definitely food for thought would it not be. 

I firmly beleive that Donald trump should be swallowed by a whale,and then spat out. Might teach him a 

little humility.

proposal for developing public areas at Highwood Beach. Any proposal would 

require the approval of Council. 

Permanent Fixtures on ER Lands at Northshore Lands 

Councillor Bob Bennett recused himself for the discussion around permanent 

fixtures on Environmental Reserve lands at Northshore lands. 

The two permanent fixtures for discussion were an electrical plugin at the 

shoreline and an area a lot owner developed. Council discussed that allowing 

these fixtures would encourage others to follow suit. 

Council decided to adopt a policy that all developments along the lakeshore 

will align with the Water Security Agency’s standards. 

Buffalo Vista Waste Disposal Request 

The community of Buffalo Vista requested waste disposal services. Council 

responded to BV council may consider the service based on the sanitation levy 

to be applied to all development properties for cost recovery of the service. 

SPYR Network Internet 

Internet provider, SPYR Network, submitted a request to the RM to install 

utility poles on the municipal right of way for wireless services at Highwood 

Beach, Keddeslton, Marion Heights and the Village of Disley. After discussion 

among Council, the RM responded that the pole would be approved with a 

development permit and requested that one of the poles be moved to a more 

southerly location, allowing for more access. 

Agenda Issues 

Council made a motion that development permits will be placed on a separate 

report by the CAO and presented to Council. Development permits do not require 

council approval, and the recent inclusion of them on the agenda has been 

bogging the agenda down. 

Northshore Lands sends letter to Community Planning - Connection to 

Daniel Drive letter to community planning. 

Cameron Wyatt of Northshore Lands sent a letter to Community Planning 

refuting the Hamlet of North Grove’s concerns that the hook up to Daniel Drive 

would increase traffic flow through North Grove from the Northshore development. 

Wyatt said that because their resort is privately owned, the general public 

would not be going through Northshore Lands, using Daniel drive hookup going 

through North Grove. 

Reeve Russ Kirzinger asked Council what their understanding was regarding 

who could access the food trucks at the resort and who can use the boat launch. 

Council responded that the public could access both. 

The RM is responding to Northshore lands that their presentation for allowing 

food trucks included that the public could access the trucks. In addition, the 

RM’s approval of the boat launch on publically owned environmental reserve in 

the development is also open to the public to use. 

Because the boat launch is on public property, it needs to have public access. 

Therefore, the RM will own this road. 

The Reeve mentioned that Cameron Wyatt had asked the RM not to refer to 

the area as Glamping and instead to North Shore Lands. Wyatt is the President 

and Founder of Glamping Resorts 

The Reeve said he responded to Wyatt that ratepayers are submitting development 

permits under Glamping, and he should discuss the issue with those ratepayers. 

Another councillor noted that a semi-trailer visible from the highway 

says “Glamping” and not Northshore Lands, and also on the Glamping website, 

while there is a reference to Northshore Lands, it is all Glamping. 

Letter for RM to sign onto with Resort Villages 

The Reeve told the Council that he hadn’t signed the letter they agreed to sign 

onto with area Resort Villages for a moratorium on development on Buffalo 

Pound Lake. He said he would only sign on to prevent new, future development 

and not currently approved development. The RM has since clarified this and 

has signed the letter. 

Closed Session 

Council concluded the meeting after returning from the closed session with 

no new resolutions. The next meeting of Council is on Wednesday, July 07th at 

8:00 am.

Victoria MacDonald, CAO 

Moving vans have been busy this late spring and early summer as 

hundreds of hockey fans take up residence on Cloud 9. 

We’re talking Montreal Canadiens’ fans, of 

course. 

The Habs, with only 24 wins in 56 games, 

barely made the playoffs in the National Hockey 

League’s Canadian Division, considered the 

weakest of the four in the realigned Covid-19 

setup. They weren’t supposed to beat the Toronto 

Maple Leafs in the first round, but they did, 

4-3 in the best-of-seven, coming back from a 3-1 

deficit to do so. They weren’t supposed to beat 

Winnipeg Jets in the Canadian Division final, 

because the Jets had finished four points ahead 

of Montreal in the regular season. But they did, 

impressively, a four-game sweep. And then they 

definitely weren’t supposed to beat the Vegas 

Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup semi-final, 

because the No. 1-ranked Golden Knights outpointed 

them by a whopping 23 points (82-59) 

during the regular season. 

So here they are, the Cin- 

FROM THE derella Habs, vying for their 

SIDELINES first Stanley Cup since 1993 

and creating a hockey frenzy 

BRUCE PENTON 

in July in La Belle Province 

and dozens of pockets of 

Canada from coast to coast. 

Back in the Original Six 

days of the NHL, Canadian 

hockey fans generally rooted 

for either the Canadiens or 

the Leafs, and those cheering 

habits were often passed 

down through generations. As 

a result, it’s hard to walk into any bar, or any 

business, or stop on any block anywhere in English- 

or French Canada and not find an avid ‘CH’ 

supporter. 

Whether the Habs’ playoff magic carries 

through to a victory over Tampa Bay Lightning 

remains to be seen, but it has been a glorious and 

unforgettable six weeks for fans of the Rouge, 

Blanc and Bleu. Goalie Carey Price has been sensational, 

recording a 2.02 goals-against average 

and .934 save percentage in games leading to the 

final. The defence, led by Shea Weber (remember 

when Habs’ fans lamented the trade bringing Weber 

to Montreal and sending beloved P.K. Subban 

to Nashville?), has been rock solid and up front, a 

collection of trade acquisitions, long-in-the-tooth 

veterans and blossoming draft picks have combined 

to provide just enough offence to make this 

magic happen. Through three playoff rounds, 

Montreal had a mere three players among the top 

30 playoff scorers — free agent signee Tyler Toffoli 

was 10th; Nick Suzuki, acquired from Vegas in 

the 2018 Max Pacioretty deal, was 13th; and 

2019 draft pick Cole Caufield, who joined the 

Habs with 10 games left in the regular season 

after a stellar college career, was 30th. 

It’s been a great ride for the Habs, and 

their fans couldn’t be more excited. But really, 

they can’t be expected to beat the defending 

Cup champion Lightning, can they? 

Can they?

“MLB fan marketing surveys now include 

a question as to the political party one is

behalf of all the players who choose to Trotsky

THE VILLAGE OF BUENA VISTA 

PUBLIC NOTICE 

OF INTENTION TO AMEND THE VILLAGE OF BUENA VISTA ZONING BYLAW NO. 7/16 

Public notice is hereby given, pursuant to Section 207 of the Planning and 

Development Act, 2007, that the Council of the Village of Buena Vista intends to 

amend its Zoning Bylaw as hereinafter provided. 

It is proposed to amend the Village of Buena Vista Zoning Bylaw as follows: 

To rezone 2 portions of S.W. ¼ Sec. 13, Twp. 21, Range 22 W.2 Mer., as shown 

in the Village of Buena Vista Zoning District Map and within the dotted lines, 

as shown below:

When it comes to international relationships, we in Canada like to 

think we have something special with the United States. 

AG NOTES 

CALVIN DANIELS 

Granted, we share a very long border, one free of gun turrets and soldier patrols, 

but the cordial relationship rarely extends to matters of trade. The United 

States sees itself as the ‘big dog’ in our world, and with that comes a certain level 

of assumed entitlement on their part. Obviously, Canada does a lot of trade with 

products moving south since we are very much a production-oriented nation, 

whether it’s agriculture, mining, oil, or forestry. We have the capacity to produce 

far in excess of what we consume, so we look to move products to international 

markets. 

The U.S., with its roughly 325 million population, is a prime market based on 

ease of access. Except that ease of access extends only to easy access for products 

in terms of transportation. Trade is still something of a maze of red tape in many 

cases. Yes, we have trade agreements in place, but it must be remembered that in 

climbing into bed with the U.S., it’s a bit like being in that bed with a giant, when they 

roll over, they take almost all of the blankets. 

In the case of a trade deal, the paperwork is done, but that does not preclude trade disputes, and 

while often the process might rule in favour of Canada, there is always a cost involved that producers 

must pay. There have always been disputes going on, from fights over the Canadian Wheat Board 

(CWB) when it existed, to the supply-managed sector, to hogs and softwood lumber. I suppose it 

should be noted here that the CWB was dismantled, and supply management is a shadow of its former 

shelf, both moves no doubt influenced by American pressures. The relationship was put under greater 

strain by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, a highly protectionist leader with a personality 

that ruffled feathers everywhere. His four years were not about open trade at all and strained 

relationships with more than Canada. New President Joe Biden is expected to be more congenial with 

trade partners, but it’s far from smooth sailing as trade disputes linger from the Trump days – including 

lumber and dairy. 

So while we rely heavily on the U.S. market here in Canada, we have to recognize the only deal the 

Americans like is one they see themselves having got the upper hand. We may be friends, but in terms 

of trade, that relationship is often strained.

No. #12/15, known as the Zoning Bylaw. 

INTENT 

The Zoning District Map referred to in section 6.2 is amended by rezoning Lots 

6-10, Block 3, Plan E2775 from C1 – Village Centre Commercial District to R1 – 

Residential District.

RM’s Committee Review 

of OCP and Zoning Bylaw 

moves from Public to 

Private 

At the RM of McKillop’s Planning and Economic Development Committee Meeting on June 23rd, 

the committee moved a previously public agenda item to a different date and out of the public view. 

The committee moved a review of the Official Community Plan and Zoning bylaw to look at conflicts, 

errors and omissions to the morning of July 6th. The CAO Brandi Morissette recommended that the 

meeting only include staff and Council with the findings going to the public committee meeting. 

Integral to the ethical standards of an RM is the responsibility to conduct business in a transparent 

manner. Transparency allows the public to see how and why their elected officials reach their decisions. 

Transparency is essential in holding those officials accountable for those decisions. 

LMT asked the RM for comment on the decision to exclude the public and if they felt this decision 

was in line with their responsibility for transparency in the municipality. 

Reeve Bob Schmidt responded, “In reply to your question about what is taking place on July 6th , 

this is not a meeting of Council. On the 6th, a group of councillors and admin staff will create a list of 

the OCP and Zoning Bylaw issues. The administration will then prepare reports, bylaw amendments, 

send out notices for public hearings, and place them on the agenda for future RM Council meetings. 

At those meetings and public hearings, ratepayers can participate in this matter and see how Council 

makes decisions.” 



REASON 

To accommodate future residential development. 


Any person may inspect the bylaw at the municipal office at 121 Ashley Street 

on Tuesdays 9 am – 3 pm and Thursdays 9 am – 12 pm. Copies are available 

at cost. 


Council will hold a public hearing on July 14, 2021 at 7:00 at the Bulyea 

Hall located at 204 Ashley Street, to hear any person or group that wants to 

comment on the proposed bylaw. Council will also consider written comments 

received at the hearing or delivered to the undersigned at the municipal office 

before the hearing.

RM of McKillop Planning 

and Economic Development 

Meeting 

Service Fees for Rowan’s Ridge, Uhl’s Bay, Flavel and Belmont Beach 

& Campgrounds in the Sights of RM Council Committee/Rezoning 

Issue/Trailer Permits 

The RM of McKillop Planning and Economic 

Development Committee met on June 23rd. Present 

at the meeting was Committee Chair Marilyn 

Labatte, Reeve Bob Schmidt, Councillor Craig 

Romanyk, Councillor Garry Dixon, CAO Brandi 

Morisette, Development Officer Liana Campbell 

and Administrative Assistant Camille Box. 

The CAO presented a draft zoning bylaw 

amendment to council, which the committee recommended 

be moved forward to council. Camille 

Box said the amendment was for trailers and 

accessory buildings, and there were other items 

that had yet to be dealt with, such as Seacans. 

Review of OCP and Zoning Bylaw 

On the agenda were the review of the Official 

Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw for conflicts, 

errors and omissions. The committee noted there 

were numerous issues in the documents. They 

discussed striking a subcommittee to go through 

the plan and bylaw to identify the issues. Reeve 

Schmidt noted development issues would arise 

the longer council did not address the issues. 

Chair Labatte brought it to the committee’s 

attention that a subcommittee had already been 

set. However, she recommended the committee 

take the matter up, using the morning of the next 

meeting date to address the issues. 

The committee decided to meet on July 6th at 9 

am. CAO Morisette recommended they meet only 

as council and staff, and the findings then go to 

the public committee meeting. 

Review of When Trailer Bylaw Permits are 

Required 

Reeve Schmidt noted that last year the RM 

heard several responses from lot owners that had 

been identified as requiring a permit for their 

trailers. He said they have had responses such as 

- the trailer is taxed - the trailer was being stored 

- and the trailer was on a special lot at Uhl’s Bay 

where permits are not required. 

Schmidt wanted to know how the RM is handling 

these responses as he noted he had looked 

into the taxation issue and said the property 

owner was not being taxed on the trailer. He 

also questioned the response that a person was 

storing their trailer because the bylaw said it was 

allowed for short-term off-season storage and 

questioned that offseason would be stored for the 

winter, to which Councillor Romanyk agreed. 

Camille Box said the bylaw officer went out and 

documented every lot without a dwelling that had 

a trailer on it. Box said they had received more 

trailer permits this year than in the previous 

year. 24 permits in 2020, and this year the RM 

has 34. 

Councillor Romanyk asked what the next steps 

are as he drives around and looks for the trailer 

permits, which he isn’t seeing displayed well or at 

all. Romanyk recommended the bylaw officer put 

a warning on those trailers. 

Box said the Bylaw officer reported 33 trailers, 

and the RM has 34 permits taken out, with 

only two that are not in compliance. She noted 

they do not require permits for trailers on lots 

with dwellings and that sometimes trailers are 

brought in for a short period which the RM 

doesn’t have time to address. She noted there had 

been a lot of compliance. 

Schmidt noted he had seen 15 trailers at Uhl’s 

Bay and 15 at MacPheat Park. Box noted that 

Uhl’s Bay has a provision where they can have 

some of those trailers. Schmidt noted there are 

eight lots at Uhl’s Bay that are not being taxed 

and not paying a permit fee, asking, “What are 

they paying to contribute their fair share to the 

RM?” 

Schmidt suggested the eight lots that have a 

provision in place be subject to a special services 

fee for them as they only pay the tax on the land. 

He suggested they were paying only 100$ when 

the RM was going after everyone else in the RM. 

Romanyk, Dixon and Morisette informed 

Schmidt it was $525, not $100. 

Morisette said after she came to the RM, 

council passed a resolution to leave the eight lots 

as they were where the trailers had been granted 

approval by the former Administrator to be 

there. She said the RM had not done anything to 

have those trailers permitted because they were 

approved. 

Schmidt responded that they could have their 

trailer, but they have to pay something to be 

there. Morissette responded that they pay $525 

in taxes and a $250 garbage fee. 

Councillor Dixon noted that one of the lots has 

two trailers on it, and one should have a permit. 

Box said that they have a letter from the RM that 

allows them to do that and that one has a permit 

which the RM has required. Dixon said the council 

could discuss that on July 6th and that they 

need to look at the issue around zoning on July 

6th, in particular Uhl’s Bay. 

Reeve Schmidt disagreed with the allowance of 

not requiring the eight lots in Uhl’s Bay not to pay 

the permit fee. 

Development Officer Liana Campbell posed a 

question to the committee asking that despite 

the previous agreements, didn’t the new council 

have the authority to make changes. Which the 

committee responded they did. Schmidt said that 

he felt it should be fair and equitable across the 

RM. CAO Morisette agreed that the eight lots 

should be subject to taking out a trailer permit, 

but she said in the RM’s trailer bylaw, it notes 

“temporary”, not permanent. And that these 

trailers were allowed to be there permanently, 

not temporarily. 

Schmidt said he agreed with Morisette and 

suggested council explore other options as they 

haven’t decided what to do with Belmont, Flavel 

Beach, and all of the individual lots at campgrounds. 

Which he said they should all be paying 

as services are being paid by the RM. Labatte 

said they would discuss this at the July 6th meeting. 

Flavel and Belmont Beach Not on the 

Agenda 

CAO Morissette apologized that she had missed 

adding the discussion for the assessments for 

5 Flavel properties and 23 at Belmont Beach to 

the agenda and asked council to make a resolution 

from the committee to add it to the agenda, 

which they did. 

The CAO said they received an email from 

SAMA about how the RM would assess Flavel 

and Belmont Beach leasehold properties. She 

said the other option would be to apply a service 

fee through a bylaw on the properties. 

The CAO recommended they discuss fair taxation 

of all properties because leaseholds are only 

being taxed on improvements. She said the email 

talked about assessing part of a parcel. She said it 

would mean an assessment would delay the RM’s 

assessment roll a further 60 days from the date 

the assessments were mailed. 

She said the current assessment closes July 

17th, and notices need to be out by August 31st. 

The delay would push them to mid-September 

which she didn’t want to do. She recommended 

that council pass a special service fee this year 

and then review it for next year. Schmidt said the 

services cover road maintenance, dust control, 

cutting of grass and fire service. 

Schmidt said they needed a strategy for future 

service fees for the campgrounds as well. Romanyk 

asked how the RM could apply $525 

through the bylaws directly to the development.

Village of Bulyea 

PUBLIC NOTICE 

Public notice is hereby given that the Council of the Village of Bulyea intends to 

adopt a bylaw under The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend Bylaw 

No. #11/15, known as the Official Community Plan Bylaw. 

INTENT 

Appendix “A” – Village of Bulyea Future Land Use Map is amended by redesignating 

Lots 6-10, Block 3, Plan E2775 from the land use designation of 

Core Commercial to Residential. 

AFFECTED LAND 

The affected land is legally described as Lots 6-10, Block 3, Plan E2775, as 

shown in the attached lines on the following map: 

RM of McKillop planning and economic dev. meeting June 23, 2021 

Schmidt responded that they would set up a fee 

structure. 

The committee didn’t like the idea of an assessment 

for this year. Romanyk said the development 

could just put the fee onto the lease agreement 

passing the fee onto their tenants. 

Councillor Romanyk asked if the RM could 

look at a service fee for all of the trailers at Rowan’s 

Ridge, which the Reeve and the CAO said 

they could. Romanyk said this is the next step 

and that the RM should be looking at this. Reeve 

Schmidt agreed, saying rather than raising taxpayers’ 

taxes, they need to look at other opportunities 

around them. The committee recommended 

that the council implement service fees for 

leasehold properties and campgrounds. The CAO 

will be writing a bylaw and service fees to bring 

to the next meeting of council. 

Civic Addressing 

Camille Box received training on the Civic 

Addressing Registry. Box has received the RM’s 

community profile, noting they are using ISC and 

aerial photographs to locate all human activity 

sites. She said the current aerial photographs are 

ten years old, and there has been a lot of lakeshore 

development since that time. Box noted the 

RM’s Hamlets need significant updating, and it 

will be a big project. 

Reeve Schmidt noted the importance of ensuring 

civic addressing is up to date due to safety 

issues. He said if the fire department is attending 

a fire and can’t visually see the fire and can’t find 

their address would be problematic. 

Proposed Agricultural Subdivision 

Council discussed an issue around a proposed 

agricultural subdivision that had to be sent back 

to the applicant after Community Planning noted 

issues with the property’s current zoning. 

Reeve Bob Schmidt provided history on the 

matter. He said that every ag parcel in the RM 

was initially zoned as “AR” – Agricultural Resource 

District. When the new zoning bylaw and 

Official Community Plan were put in place, the 

AR was converted to two zoning districts- making 

them AR1- a complete quarter section and 

AR2. Schmidt noted that not every quarter in 

the RM is a whole quarter section, and because 

of this, all of the smaller parcels became not 

compliant. 

In the case of the applicant, their parcel is 

100 acres in size, and would not be considered 

an AR1 parcel. Schmidt said that Community 

Planning recognized this, and the applicant will 

have to rezone her entire property as AR2 before 

a subdivision can occur. Schmidt added this 

determination needs to take place as a first step. 

CAO Morissette added that it could be difficult 

because the maps are difficult to decipher due to 

the way it is colour-coded on the maps. Morissette 

also said that when the RM approved the 

bylaw, people who should have been AR2 had 

the choice to remain AR1 or AR2. Garry Dixon 

noted that the reason it can be zoned AR1 is that 

the quarter is cut off naturally by the lake. He 

added that quarters that are cut off by a highway, 

rail line, or the lake allowed those properties to 

remain as AR1. 

Dixon, Schmidt and Morisette noted the rezoning 

to AR2 is a simple process. Morisette said 

the RM would enter into a servicing agreement 

with the applicant, and there would be a determination 

of what cash in lieu of municipal reserve 

would be required. Schmidt noted that the applicant 

was upset after seeing the estimated costs 

by the professional was $6,000. Schmidt said he 

thought this cost was ridiculous, which was why 

the council would be talking about hiring a new 

professional to complete the work. Councillor 

Dixon didn’t understand why municipal reserve 

would be required when the parcel would be 

subdivided into another AG zone. Reeve Schmidt 

reminded him the parcel had already been subdivided 

once decades ago. 

Review of Current Development Setback 

Issues 

The Reeve said there were two issues around 

setbacks when two modular homes were installed, 

one at South Colesdale and one at North 

Colesdale. 

The Reeve said he wanted to bring it up as he 

wanted to know if there are others with setback 

issues and how to identify those through Real 

Property Reports which he said would address all 

of the issues. 

Intermunicipal Agreements Discussion 

Chair Labatte asked the committee if they 

should look at putting agreements in place in 

case they decide to work with other municipalities 

in the future. Agreements would be for 

insurance and equipment usage. 

Reeve Schmidt said the Province is pushing for 

more inter-municipal cooperation. Schmidt said 

there was discussion around getting together to 

meet with other RM’s, Towns and Villages, with 

the RM of 219 calling the initial meeting. 

Councillor Dixon brought up issues around development 

along the lake and other areas across 

the lake. Councillor Romanyk suggested the RM 

do some work to deal with their goals. 

Reeve Schmidt said there had been a discussion 

on working together to hire a planning development 

specialist. 

Planning and Development Support 

After council suggested the RM look elsewhere 

for Planning and Development Support, 

CAO Morisette said she reached out to another 

individual with an extensive background who 

provides support for RM’s in the area. Councillor 

Romanyk said he thought the council should 

look at working with the individual seriously as 

it would save the RM a lot of money rather than 

using Urban Systems. 

The committee made a recommendation to 

council that the RM uses the services of Tim 

Cheesman. 



REASON

Federal 

government 

interest costs 

could increase to 

$35 billion if costs 

return to 2019-20 

levels 

VANCOUVER—Federal government interest costs could increase 

to $35 billion in 2021-22, an increase of $13 billion, if costs return to 

2019-20 levels, finds a new study released today by the Fraser Institute, 

an independent, non-partisan, Canadian public policy think-tank. 

“If interest costs increase, governments across Canada could see 

their already large budget deficits grow even larger,” said Jake Fuss, 

senior economist at the Fraser Institute and co-author of Interest Cost 

Risks to Government Budgets. 

The study answers a simple question: what would happen to government 

interest costs (essentially the interest paid on outstanding debt) 

and government budgets if interest costs returned to the near-historically 

low levels of 2019-20? 

The study finds that the federal government and every provincial 

government (except New Brunswick) would experience an increase in 

interest costs in fiscal year 2021-22. Combined, these costs would rise 

from $53.6 billion (the current projection based on the latest government 

budgets) to $70.6 billion, an increase of 31.7 per cent. 

Crucially, it also finds that the federal government faces the greatest 

risk of higher interest costs. The increase in federal interest costs 

represents 77.4 per cent of the total potential increase in interest cost 

faced by all governments in Canada. 

“As the country recovers from COVID, if policymakers want to avoid 

a further erosion of government finances, they must exercise more 

control over debt-financed spending,” said Jason Clemens, executive 

vice-president at the Fraser Institute and study co-author.

let me go into more detail; 

I’m not a hunter, period. I’ve 

never cared much for the 

meat that wildlife provides, 

I’m not the best shot in the 

world, and no matter how 

hard one tries, they always 

seem to demolish some part 

of the truck while going after 

that trophy (or the only edible 

creature available out of 

desperation on the last day). 

Nope, not for me. That 

being said, I still know 

how to demolish a truck if 

I’m determined enough.

KELLY KIRK always chirped the passenger side. 7000km later, the truck 

freshly re-assembled and rust-free, I decided to be one of the 

cool kids and run big fat twenty-inch wheels with gigantic 

sticky tires that no longer barked loose. Seeing a train I knew 

I could beat, I put the hammer down and buried the tach 

deep into the ketchup. On a manual-shift from one-to-two at 

about 5500rpm, I heard the crack of a baseball bat putting 

one deep over the bleachers and a whole lot of valve float. 

That’s all she wrote, around 15,000km of life down the tubes. 

Luckily I had a junk one that didn’t slip or leak too bad to get 

me through for a bit, or rather roughly a decade. 

For at least ten years, I’ve added a few bottles of magic red juice to keep this 

thing moving, but this spring, it finally failed. It moves at around 3500rpm and 

slips if I rev it higher or lower than the sweet spot. Also, the engine has a knock, 

but that’s a whole other story. I still have the broken rebuild, as seen in the 

picture, and I have another one that came for free in the back of a pickup I purchased. 

The bell housing is broken, the pan is full of what can be described as 

lumpy JB Weld, it stinks, and every surface has heat discoloration. None of the 

wear surfaces could be worn anymore, but the input shaft and drum were intact, 

which is what felt broken in my “good” transmission. Luckily, it all worked out, 

and two became one, and I must say, the price transmission shops charge is 

worth it. I didn’t get all the way into the thing, just far enough to remove the 

part I needed and pick up all the loose metal bits with a magnet, but what a 

nightmare. Every piece is heavier than you want it to be, oily, hard to hang onto, 

and can only go on a certain way. Eventually, it went back together, and for the 

price of a new pan gasket and a case of oil, I might be back on the road if I did 

everything correctly. Did I take the shift kit out? Of course not, it barks the tire 

into third gear, and I miss that. Instead of softer shifts, I’ve chosen harder tires. 

You can’t break a transmission when all you do is break traction.

OBITUARY 

Munro, James “Jim” George 

March 8, 1955 - June 23, 2021 

It is with great sadness that we announce 

the passing of James “Jim” Munro after a 

courageous battle with cancer on June 23, 

2021 at the age of 66 years. He is survived 

by his loving wife Valerie Munro; brothers 

Richard (Ruth) Munro of Nokomis, SK, 

Donald Munro and Howard Munro both of 

Calgary, AB; mother-in-law Marilyn Hitchner; 

sister-in-law Dennell (Rob) Gillespie; 

nieces Kaitlin Gillespie, Courtney (Branden) 

Belley, and their daughter Amelia; 

and many more family and friends. He was 

predeceased by his father George Munro, 

mother Olga Munro (nee Penner) and sister 

Sherry Munro. 

Jim was born in Nokomis, SK on March 8, 1955, and raised near Nokomis, SK a 

small farming community in the central part of the province. He attended grade 

school in Semans, SK and attended grades 9-12 in Nokomis, SK where he graduated 

in 1973. After graduating from SAIT in 1975 with a Diploma of Petroleum Engineering 

Technology, he started his career in the oil patch with Ashland Oil Canada. 

Through a series of acquisitions, by 1980 he was working at Dome Petroleum Ltd. 

Jim then went on to Atcor Resources Ltd., joining the company in 1984. In 1988 Jim 

met the love of his life Valerie Hitchner and in 1994 they were married and have enjoyed 

27 years of marriage. In 1995, Atcor was acquired by Canadian Forest Oil Ltd. 

where he remained until 2009. In 2010 he started his consulting company Bettyhill 

Petroleum Ltd. Also in 2010, he challenged the Engineering program and became a 

Professional Licensee (Engineering). He consulted with Pengrowth Energy Corporation 

from 2010-2014, followed by a short time at Vermillion Energy Inc., then on 

to Tourmaline Oil Corp. in 2015 where he continued to work until his illness. 

Coming from a rural background he maintained his early interest in fixing or 

building things, and renovated the former family home in Saskatchewan. He had 

numerous other interests, including trying to manage two demanding Shetland 

Sheepdogs, downhill skiing, woodworking, gardening, traveling, and reminisce 

with friends over a few Coronas. He completed writing a history book in 2006 

about the village of Tate where he spent the first 14 years of his life. Although no 

longer active in hockey, football or curling he is still an avid fan of these sports 

and especially when it involves the Roughriders. He was also an avid reader and 

had an extensive collection of books that took up bookshelves on multiple floors 

of his home. Nokomis held a very special place in Jim’s heart. He made many trips 

to enjoy the family home and old school friends. He was knowledgeable of a broad 

range of topics and never forgot a date. In the winter he loved to spend time in the 

kitchen preparing endless recipes of soup. Jim was always the life of the party, and 

family and friends will miss his wit and humor. Those that had the honour of being 

part of Jim’s life will know that he had an impact on everyone he met and will keep 

a special place for him in their hearts. 

We would like to thank Dr. Garnette Sutherland, Dr. Salman Faruqi, Dr. Gloria 

Roldan Urgoiti and their teams for Jim’s care during his illness. In addition, a 

thank you to the Home Care Team and Dr. Kim Finvers and the wonderful staff at 

Rosedale Hospice. 

A Memorial Service was held for Jim at Pierson’s Forest Lawn Chapel (4121 - 17 

Avenue SE, Calgary) on Friday, July 2, 2021 at 2:00 pm. Interment will follow on 

Saturday, July 17, 2021 in Nokomis, SK. 

In lieu of flowers, if family and friends wish, a memorial tribute may be made 

directly to Calgary Humane Society (www.calgaryhumane.ca), or Rosedale Hospice 

at Hospice Calgary, (www.hospicecalgary.ca). Messages of condolence may be 

forwarded to the family at www.piersons.ca. 

MINISTERIAL MESSAGES 

Simple as a pimple 

During this pandemic I watch church services 

online and on TV. 

One is a daily Catholic service from Alabama. Anglican Morning 

Prayers come from Canterbury Cathedral in the UK. A weekly United 

Church service is from Lethbridge, Alberta. All denominations say the 

confessional prayer “I confess to Almighty God......”. Each one says the 

Lord’s Prayer, “ Our Father, Who art in heaven....”. All pray to the same 

God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Another common 

statement is “Peace be with you!” 

Ephesians 4:3-6 says it all! “Make every effort to keep the unity of 

the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one spirit 

– just as you were called to one hope when you were called – one Lord, 

one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and 

through all and in all.” (NIV) Our Lord and Saviour gave us two things 

to do to cover the old law (ten commandments) completely. 1. Love the 

Lord your God with all your heart, body, mind and spirit. 2. Love your 

neighbour as yourself. (Matthew 22:38-39) Our Great Commission! 

Ephesians 4:1-12 instructs us to see others as God sees us, with all our 

imperfections, and He still loves us. 

Simple as a pimple! 

God created humans with the ability of free choice. Our choices are 

to serve Him in all we do, say and think or not! Accept or reject His 

death on a cruel cross for our redemption or not! Color of skin, country 

of origin, religion, politics, declarations, rules and regulations are all 

covered in the Great Commission of our God. 

What drives man’s inhumanity to man? Every one of us is created 

in the image of God. (GEN1:1) We were created to commune with our 

God. How often in a day, week, month or year do we acknowledge and 

give thanks to our Creator for His love, care and blessings? His Holy 

Name is used in cursing instead of praise and thanksgiving. We all 

have a spirit within us that yearns to be in communion with our God. 

We can yield to our conscience or trample it to death. 

Wishing someone the Peace of Christ gives us His Peace. We all 

need His Peace! We need to pray for His Peace for one another and the 

whole world. 

Hebrews 11:4 (NIV) By faith we understand that the universe was 

formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of 

what is visible.” By faith! The Bible says all we need is faith the size of 

a mustard seed to move a mountain. That faith is more than enough to 

believe and receive God’s free gift of salvation. 

Let us give thanks! The pandemic has ruled our lives for so long. 

Many of us have been vaccinated. COVID19 numbers are down. Things 

are gradually opening up. Thank you Lord! 

The reality of the crisis is we all prayed to the same God for release. 

Love God! Love self! Love one another! 

Simple as a pimple!
