BASHAW COUNCIL
Sea can approved by
R
Bashaw town council
for local business
Stu Salkeld
Local Journalism Initiative reporter
ECA Review
Bashaw town councillors approved a
local business owner’s request to
replace sheds with a sea can shipping
container storage unit. The decision
was made after a public hearing held
during the Oct. 24 regular meeting of
council.
Mayor Rob McDonald opened the
public hearing to consider a bylaw to
amend the town’s land use bylaw.
Town Chief Administrative Officer
(CAO) Theresa Fuller presented councillors
with a land use bylaw (LUB)
amendment which accommodated
Doug and Mary Jane Heck’s request to
place a 40 foot sea can on a commercial
property in town.
During the discussion Fuller noted
the application in question involved
the Home Hardware business located
in downtown Bashaw.
“Currently they have two sheds
placed on the rear property line and
would like to replace them with an 8
foot by 40 foot sea can,” stated Fuller’s
memo to council.
“The previous two sheds were too
small to require a development permit
or were placed prior to the current
bylaw.”
Fuller elaborated on the fact the sea
can would be placed on the property
line.
“In the central commercial district
the rear setback requirement is six
metres and the LUB amendment proposes
to eliminate the setback,” stated
Fuller’s memo. “A variance cannot be
granted, due to the amount of
R
variance, and (the LUB) obligates
applicants to meet setback requirements
within the district for accessory
buildings over 10 square metres.”
The CAO noted the advantage to
placing the sea can on the property
line was flexibility for the property
owner.
She noted some disadvantages
existed as well, including runoff,
melting snow landing on another property,
access issues if the site in
question doesn’t have an adjacent road
and possible encroachment if there’s
an overhang, which in this case there
wouldn’t be.
Fuller did point out in her memo
however that the Heck’s request is
commonly found in some commercial
and industrial districts. Issues such as
runoff and melting snow can also be
addressed by agreement and firefighting
concerns could be addressed
through the Alberta Building Code.
As the amendment had to be done
through a bylaw Fuller noted the
Heck’s request was publicly advertised
for two weeks in the ECA Review newspaper
and the town didn’t receive any
submissions from the public.
Mayor McDonald asked if any
member of the public present at the
hearing wished to comment on the
bylaw and no one responded. He closed
the public hearing.
Councillors then debated the
request.
Coun. Bryan Gust stated he had no
concerns about the application and
moved second reading which passed
unanimously. Councillors then unanimously
passed third reading which
approved the amendment to the LUB.

STETTLER COUNTY COUNCIL
Large house, workshop, sea can application approved
Stu Salkeld
Local Journalism
Initiative reporter
ECA Review
The County of Stettler
Municipal Planning
Commission (MPC) approved a
development permit for a large
home, ancillary building and
sea can after discussion about
the metal storage container’s
possible aesthetics. The decision
was made at the Oct. 26, 2022
regular MPC meeting.
The MPC is comprised of
members of county council and
chaired by Coun. James
Nibourg.
County planner Rich
Fitzgerald presented councillors
with a development permit
application from James and
Vanessa Stuckless for property
located at Lot 7 Blk 1 Plan 982
1794 which according to the
memo included 7.94 acres of
land with the intention of developing
a detached dwelling of
2,645 square feet, an oversized
2,520 square foot workshop and
a 40 foot sea can.
“The applicant is proposing to
construct a 2645 sq. ft. detached
dwelling with attached garage,
and an oversized ancillary
building (2520 sq. ft.) to be used
as a workshop and storage.
“The applicant is also proposing
to use a 40 foot sea can
for additional storage which is a
discretionary use in a multi-lot
subdivision,” stated Fitzgerald
in his memo to the board.
“The ancillary building (oversized)
is also a discretionary use
in the country residence
agricultural district. The proposed
development exceeds all
the setbacks as set out in the
country residence agricultural
district in the county land use
bylaw (LUB). Water will be provided
by an an onsite cistern
with water being hauled in.
Wastewater will be handled by
an onsite septic tank, and leach
field, not an open discharge.
“Access is provided via a
county road Trestle Court, but
there is no existing approach to
the property that meets county
standard so a condition has
been added that this will be a
requirement of the permit.
The proposed location of the
approach has clear site lines in
all directions. The applicant is
also proposing to use an RV as a
dwelling unit during the construction
stage, and only until
the dwelling is finished,” stated
the report.
During discussion Fitzgerald
stated that the applicants have
stated they are pondering possibly
opening up a greenhouse
in the future, but the planner
noted that was not included in
the current application.
Chair Nibourg asked if there
was a chance the oversize workshop
could end up being a
residence for someone. Nibourg
stated the county has seen
instances where workshops are
built and then people move into
them to live there.
Fitzgerald responded the proposed
residence included in the
application must be valued
around $500,000 and thought
with that much investment it
was unlikely the workshop
CORONATION COUNCIL
Hiring campground attendant
Treena Mielke
ECA Review
Coronation town council has plans
to hire a new campground attendant
and is looking into the pros and cons of
contracting out the position or hiring
another town staff for the job.
Councillors discussed their options
at the Oct. 24 council meeting.
Coronation Chief Administrative
Officer (CAO) Quinton Flint brought
the matter up under new business,
noting that Jim Dafoe, the previous
campground attendant, had given his
notice.
“The administration wishes Mr.
Dafoe well on his new adventures and
thank him for his 12 years of dedicated
service,” he said in his report to
council.
“In Mr. Dafoe’s 12 years as the campground
attendant, he helped to grow
the campground and helped to ensure
it was prosperous.
“Mr. Dafoe was a significant part of
the infrastructure development and
the construction of new campsite
stalls taking it from 11 stalls to 52, as
well as the construction of the new
campground shower house.”
Flint told council that the job
description for the position of campground
attendant needs to be updated
and council needs to decide if it wants
to go with a contract position or hire
an individual as a town staff.
He said a contracted position would
mean the town would not be required
to pay overtime. The town would also
not be responsible for paying payroll
benefits.
The contractor would be responsible
for overseeing the job and ensuring it
was completed satisfactorily.

would be used as a residence. In
fact, he noted the residential
development permit would have
been already approved by staff
except for the workshop and sea
can parts of the application,
which required MPC approval.
Board member Ernie Gendre
noted there was no approach yet
and asked who would build the
new one. Fitzgerald responded
that’s a condition of the development
permit and is up to the
applicants to complete.
Gendre, looking at photos
provided by Fitzgerald, stated
there didn’t appear to be a ditch
in the required location.
Fitzgerald responded there isn’t
a ditch but work will be
required to move some topsoil
and install gravel to ensure
water runs towards the applicants
property and away from
the road.
Board member Justin
Stevens, also looking at the

photos, wondered what was
located at the far end of the
property. Fitzgerald answered
there was clay hauled in for an
old road project which was then
used to build a berm.
The planner stated the berm
may have been intended to separate
properties and added it’s
been there for at least 10 years,
has no weeds on it and is mowed
regularly by the property
owners.
Stevens asked that a condition
be added to the
development permit that any
sea can placed on the property
be aesthetically pleasing.

STETTLER COUNTY COUNCIL
Veterinarian numbers could be tripled by 2025
Stu Salkeld
Local Journalism Initiative reporter
ECA Review
The County of Stettler heard a provincial
government expert state that
the number of new veterinarians
entering the industry from one Alberta
university could triple by 2025.
The report was made at the Oct. 26
regular Agriculture Service Board
meeting.
The board is comprised of members
of county council and was chaired at
that meeting by Coun. Dave Grover.
Board members heard a presentation
by Dr. Keith Lehman of the office
of the chief provincial veterinarian, a
department of Alberta Agriculture. At
the end of the presentation councillors
were invited to ask questions.
Coun. Justin Stevens asked if the
general impression that there is a
shortage of veterinarians in Alberta is
accurate.
Lehman answered there are shortages
everywhere, all sectors, not just in
the agricultural sector. He suspected
that just about every vet clinic across
Canada would like to have more staff.
Lehman stated that vet shortages in
urban areas may be affected by the fact
more people were interested in owning
pets recently, thus increasing the
demand for vet services.
Lehman also stated higher work
loads resulting in burn out may have

caused more people to leave the
industry over the past few years.
Board member Grover asked if more
new vets could be trained. Lehman
answered the Alberta government is
doing that by allocating more money to
the University of Calgary, which has
boosted the number of veterinary students
from 30-ish to 55, and with
planned new infrastructure could hope
to increase that to 100 by 2025.
Lehman gave board members an
update on high path avian influenza
and other serious agricultural diseases,
while discussing the different
roles the provincial and federal governments
play in controlling diseases.
He noted that when a serious outbreak
is encountered, the first step is to
confirm it, then quarantine the area,
make reports to trade partners, watch
for spread of the disease, stamp out the
disease, look at compensation, engage
in long term surveillance and lastly
inform trade partners the outbreak is
eradicated.
Board member Larry Clarke asked
about disposal of carcasses this past
summer; he noted there have been
complaints based around outdoor
composting.
Lehman responded that there are
setbacks that have to be followed when
composting carcasses and considerations
such as leeching that must be
watched and noted that there is oversight
of such activities; complaints

about them could result in an
investigation.
Clarke stated large numbers of
decomposing carcasses can smell very
badly and Stettler County sometimes
gets complaints despite the fact the
municipality has no authority over
these things. Lehman answered the
county should forward all complaints
to Alberta Agriculture.
Lehman spent considerable time discussing
avian influenza’s different
strains and how people, swine and
poultry can be affected. He said the
reservoirs of the virus are waterfowl
and shore birds which transmit it to
farms, which then spreads through
fecal, oral or aerosol means. Then environmental
reservoirs such as fomites
and mechanical factors come into play.
Lehman stated high path avian
influenza is eradicated from most
developed countries, while low path
avian influenza still occurs worldwide.
He explained that this past summer’s
avian influenza began in Europe about
a year ago, as the virus was solidly
present there. It winged its way to
North America, and was detected
between December 2021 and early
spring, 2022. By March it was past the
Carolinas on the east coast, moved into
the central United States and by April
the first Alberta cases were reported.
He stated that as of Oct. 20, 2022 53

at $10 for 2023 following a an unanimous
motion at the regular Delburne
council meeting on Oct. 11, 2022. It
was felt the economic conditions for
businesses hadn’t improved that
much.
When queried, Chief Administrative
Officer (CAO) Karen Fegan said that
the reduced fee brings in about $1,500
versus $4,500 with the higher fee. She
also said that it makes more of a difference
to a small businesses’ budget
than to their municipal budget.
Changes at the
Chamber of Commerce
Tim Wilson’s resignation as president
was accepted at the oct. 24
Chamber of Commerce meeting, and
three people were appointed as

KNEEHILL COUNCIL
Kneehill County cancels gas co-op taxes
Stu Salkeld
Local Journalism Initiative reporter
ECA Review
Kneehill County, in a move that one
councillor referred to as a “best practice,”
cancelled tax bills for two gas
co-ops that operate within the municipality’s
boundaries. The decision was
made at the Oct. 25 regular meeting of
council.
Marika von Mirbach, acting manager
of financial operations, presented
a request to council to waive tax bills
for two gas co-ops that work within
Kneehill’s boundaries.
“In June 2016, council approved
Policy #16-15 which gave direction to
cancel taxes to the gas co-ops operating
within the county,” stated von
Mirbach’s memo to council.
“There are two gas co-ops that this
policy applies to, and which have historically
had their taxes cancelled by
council.
“The taxes for Harvest Hills Gas
Co-Op Ltd. total $2,604.70 on eight tax
roles. The taxes for Crossroads Gas
Co-Op total $1,000.70 on four tax roles.
“Included within the above amounts
is $579.60 in requisitions
which are
required to be forwarded
to the
applicable parties
regardless of
whether taxes are
cancelled. This
can be accommodated
within the
approved operating
budget
allocation for cancelled
taxes,”
stated the memo.
Von Mirbach
stated the county
policy in question
recommends this
item be brought
before council
annually and
involves 12 tax
rolls between the
two
organizations.
Reeve Jerry
Wittstock
acknowledged the
dollar value of
this request was
traditionally not
very high.
“I’m sure we’re
not into the hundreds
of millions
of dollars here,”
said Wittstock.
Coun. Ken
King clarified
that certain requisitions
collected
on these property
taxes, such as
education tax, still have to be forwarded
to the provincial government.
Von Mirbach confirmed that was
correct.
Coun. Laura Lee Machell-
Cunningham wanted to clarify that
there was no method for the county to
use to reclaim the tax revenue in
question.
Reeve Wittstock interjected to note
the tax rolls listed are gas lines that
run throughout Kneehill County and
they belong to the two non-profit gas
co-ops listed.
Wittstock stated the gas co-ops
serve the residents of the county and
while Kneehill could probably send
the two gas co-ops a property tax bill,
it’s possible those costs would just be
passed along to Kneehill residents.
Wittstock further clarified that he
believed the tax rolls in question were
actually metering sites which don’t
take up much space.
“It’s just a courtesy we extended
years and years and years ago,” added
Wittstock.
Coun. Faye McGhee stated she
believed cancelling the gas co-op’s
property taxes should be considered a

KNEEHILL COUNCIL
Second extension for
undeveloped subdivision
Stu Salkeld
Local Journalism Initiative reporter
ECA Review
Kneehill County councillors
approved the second consecutive one
year extension for an undeveloped
subdivision, but heard a staff recommendation
this be the last extension.
The decision was made at the Oct. 25
regular meeting of council.
Councillors heard a report from
planner Brandy Hay-Morgan who
stated the owner of subdivision
KNE200148 had requested a one year
extension to the deadline to complete
subdivision requirements, which
would be, if approved, the second consecutive
extension the county has
granted for this application.
“KNE200148 is a subdivision from
2020 relating to a portion of the NW
8-33-23 W4M,” stated Hay-Morgan in
her memo to council.
“Landowners are given a year from
the date of approval in which to meet
the conditions of approval. If the conditions
are met, the subdivision
approving authority is required to
endorse the subdivision to allow registration
at land titles.
“The first extension for this file was
granted by council until Oct. 24, 2022.
The landowner is applying for a
second extension, to allow for the
response from Alberta Environment
regarding the dugout for watering.
“There are multiple factors involved
with this specific subdivision. A different
engineering firm was employed
to take over the file. Additional environmental
studies have been done to
ensure the land can be used for the
proposed use in the future.
“The applicant is also changing the
current septic system in place to allow
for more land to be subdivided out in
the process.
“Due to the length of time required
for a response from Alberta
Environment and the changes in provincial
government and the current
season, an extension for this subdivision
file is required for the applicant to
finalize the conditions set out in the
approval on Oct. 22, 2020.
“A typical extension is granted for
one year, in this case the extension
would be granted for another year
until Oct. 23, 2023 (First extension
expired Oct. 22, 2022; second extension
is asking for Mon. Oct. 23, 2023, as the
22nd of October 2023 falls on a
Sunday).
“This would be the final extension
allowed. If at the date of the second
extension, KNE200148 is not finalized,
a new subdivision application will be
required and process to start from the
beginning,” added Hay-Morgan’s
memo.
The planner noted the Municipal
Government Act (MGA) gives councillors
the authority to grant as many
one year extensions as they wish.
Coun. Ken King stated he understood
the subdivision would be a
benefit to the community so he moved
that the request be granted.
Coun. Faye McGhee asked why the
county only grants one year extensions,
and not two years.
Hay-Morgan stated the MGA uses
the term one year to complete all subdivision
conditions, “...and typically
most people do.”
Hay-Morgan added that it’s
uncommon for the county to receive a
request for a subdivision extension but
it does happen and when it does it’s
usually related to approvals from
other levels of government.
“We’re just following the MGA,” said
Hay-Morgan.
McGhee asked if councillors could
grant two years, to which Hay-Morgan
responded she wasn’t sure, but mentioned
again that councillors can
grant as many one year extensions as
they like.
Coun. King chipped in that he felt
one year extensions were best for two
reasons, including that it’s easier for
the county to keep track of what’s
going on with the application, and secondly
that having the shorter deadline
might be useful in lighting a fire under
other levels of government.
“I think one year is good in this
case,” said King.
Councillors unanimously approved
the request to grant a one year extension
for the subdivision.
“Hopefully a year from now we’re
not doing this one again,” said Reeve
Jerry Wittstock.

Society presents
interesting future
Dear Editor,
Badlands Historic Society Salute to
Agriculture presents an interesting
future.
Plans to move forward were the
focus of a Clam Chowder Night at
Drumheller Jurassic Inn Oct. 12.
Reeves of adjacent counties and the
Special Areas met with museum staff
and considered the benefits of an
annual regional 4-H rally point as one
answer to some coming issues.
One is the need to have new membership
as older members retire. A
second benefit would be the exposure
to and publicity spread, as the visitors
returned to their homes.
The Ag-Salute program would invite
and challenge our young visitors to
write and submit stories to the
museum of their home areas through
writing, photos, videos, art and crafts.
This would broaden our offerings to
all Albertans. They would also be
encouraged to use required 4-H public
speaking skills to their families and
regional audiences.
The natural attractions in each of
Kneehill, Wheatland, Starland and
Special Areas are not only unique but
of high trust value.

pints, ranching projects and the vast
grasslands all have huge interest for
keen young agricultural leaders of the
near future.
The 4-H Rally program would be a
winner for the Salute to Agriculture
Museum but also to tourism, economic
opportunities and general interest.
The museum itself is faced with the
inherited problem of an expensive roof
repair. This has delayed the opening
of the building. Until it can be open
and functioning there is a credibility
problem. Larger donors such as fertilizer
firms, Ag-Insurance companies
and banks will be probable donors
only to an operating concern.
Likewise grant programs are largely
based on operating businesses and
non-profit groups. With these problems
facing museum members, an
appeal for $5000 from each of the adjacent
counties and the Town of
Drumheller was made.
Encouraging remarks were heard
from the invited reeves. Their councils
will have to give the final approval.
All agreed that there is great value in a
continued liaison between Drumheller,
the bordering counties and the Special
Areas.
We share many common interests.
Stan Solberg
Drumheller, Alta.
Emergency Act, simply put
Dear Editor,
Emergency Measures Act enacted or
put in place was wrong.
The act came down on the Freedom
Convoy because of a lack of leadership
by the Federal Government and our
Prime Minster.
Because no one in the Liberal government
or the Prime Minister made
an apparent or visible attempt to meet
with people from the convoy; the result
was a lengthy stay by some Freedom
convoy members on the city of Ottawa,
the capital that serves every
Canadian.
The Freedom Convoy consisted of
law-abiding Canadians who wanted to
make their concerns known to government
and the Prime Minister in
charge, Justin Trudeau. This is the
fact of the matter.
After all the effort made by the
convoy members – it appeared that no
one in the Federal Government made a
proper attempt to dialogue concerns of
the convoy.
Had the Prime Minister or Prime
Minister’s Office (PMO) made it clear
at or before the arrival time of the
convoy that there would be a meeting
set up consisting of relevant government
members, the PMO, the Prime
Minister and representative members
from the Freedom convoy and the several
additional groups in the convoy;
and that this meeting would be held in
a safe and orderly fashion; the convoy
would have left Ottawa shortly after
that meeting of substance and good
will had transpired.
I am sure this meeting would have
been expected and accepted by the
Canadian public, the Ottawa police,
and the convoy.
The Government and the Prime
Minister shirked their huge duty of
‘leadership responsibility’ to all the
law-abiding citizens in the convoy and
Canadian citizens across this country.
Were the police blindsided when it
became apparent that the Prime
Minister and his government were not
going to have meaningful discussions
with the convoy?
Yes, to me it is obvious. By the time
Canada’s ‘leader’ displayed reluctance
to dialogue reasonably with the
Freedom convoy, that is when a
growing and lengthy occupation set in.
The Emergencies Act came about
because of the lack of Canada’s ‘leadership’
at the highest level and was used
as an excuse for political inaction by
our nation’s leadership.

the detachment, advising the members
that he wanted police to shoot him.
The male also advised police that he
had a handgun in his pocket.
The male then returned to his
vehicle and left the Consort RCMP
detachment and a traffic stop was initiated.
The male stopped his vehicle and
exited it with an axe and knife, telling
the Consort/Coronation RCMP members
that they needed to do something
as we walked towards them with
weapons in his hands.
A Conducted Energy Weapon was
deployed and the male dropped his
weapons and went to the ground. The
male then attempted to grab the axe
again but the members were able to
safely take him into police custody.
During this incident, threats were
made to the police, and not the public.
As a result of the investigation,
Consort RCMP have charged Charles
Alexander Lair (37), a resident of
Consort, with two counts of mischief
over $5000, resist/ obstruct a Peace
Officer, assault with a weapon, possession
of a weapon for a dangerous
purpose and uttering threats.
Lair was released on cash bail with
conditions and will be appearing in

have little in common, yet they
share something special: They are
both amputees.
Jefferson served as a Lieutenant
with the Queen’s Own Rifles
Regiment. In 1945, in the Rhine
Valley, Germany, he was injured by
an anti-personnel mine explosion,
resulting in the loss of his left leg
below the knee.
When he returned home, Charlie
joined The War Amps, which was
started by First World War amputee
veterans to help each other adapt to
their new reality.
Years later, these veterans established
the Child Amputee (CHAMP)
Program, which provides young
amputees, like Isla, who was
born a left arm amputee, with
financial assistance for artificial
limbs and the peer support
of fellow amputees.
It was through The War
Amps that Isla and her family
heard about Jefferson. With
Remembrance Day coming up,
they visited him at his Ottawa
residence.
Isla was interested to learn
about Jefferson and the medals
he earned for his service. She was
also intrigued that he too was
missing a limb. Isla described Mr.
Jefferson as a role model who made
her feel proud to be an amputee.
Isla’s mom, Jamie, says it is
important that her daughter understands
the sacrifices that many
Canadians made for our freedom.
Turn to Champs, Pg 12
Charlie Jefferson (98), a Second
World War amputee veteran and
Isla McCallum (8), a member of The
War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP)
Program had the opportunity to meet
in Ottawa at Jefferson’s residence.

Poppy etiquette
Canadians wear poppies in
November to honour veterans
and soldiers who gave their lives
fighting for freedoms abroad.
The Royal Canadian Legion has
a Poppy Protocol Guide, with tips
on how to wear a poppy appropriately
and respectfully. Here’s
what it recommends.
How to wear a poppy
A poppy should be worn on the
left side of your chest over your
heart. The poppy is a sacred
symbol and therefore shouldn’t
be affixed with any type of pin
that obstructs it.
When to wear a poppy
Wear your poppy from the last
Friday in October until
Remembrance Day on November
11. You can also wear a poppy at
a veteran’s funeral or war memorial
service such as one held at
the anniversary for the Battle of
Vimy Ridge.
How to remove a poppy
It’s fine to continue to wear
your poppy after November 11.
However, many people choose to
remove their poppies and place
them on a cenotaph or wreath at
a Remembrance Day
ceremony’s conclusion.
This has become
a poignant tradition at
many war memorials.
Always ensure you
store or dispose of
your poppy respectfully.
If you see a
poppy on the ground,
please pick it up, clean
it off and dispose of it
in a respectful way.
The Royal
Canadian Legion supplies
the poppies for
free but encourages
donations to its Poppy
Fund, which helps
Canadian veterans
and their families.

Guitars for Vets
“Putting the healing power of
music into the hands of heroes” is
what Guitars for Vets is all about.
This innovative program gives
gently used guitars to Canadian veterans
and members of the Armed
Forces with service-related disabilities.
Here’s what you should know
about this innovative program.
How it started
Guitars for Vets recognizes that
music can be healing for veterans
living with PTSD as well as other
mental and physical impairments
sustained while serving. This volunteer-led
program is co-ordinated
by Veterans Emergency Transition
Services (VETS), an organization
dedicated to helping homeless and
other struggling veterans reintegrate
into society. VETS has helped
more than 4,500 veterans find
housing, jobs and access to social
services.
How it works
The Guitars for Vets program
mat ches veterans with donated guitars.
It also pairs veterans with
knowledgeable instructors so they
can learn to play their instrument,
develop new skills and uncover a
lifelong passion.
Online Lessons
Guitars for Vets has recently
announced a Cross Country Tour, a
series of virtual guitar lessons for
veterans across
Canada. One hundred
participants will
receive a brand-new
acoustic guitar plus 10
free lessons from an
instructor.
Guitar donations
If you have a guitar
that still works well
but isn’t played as
much as it should be,
drop it off at any Long
& McQuade store in
Canada. Your guitar
will go to a veteran in need, and
you’ll be putting the healing power
of music into the hands of a hero.

golf, camping
and boating with
friends. Every
fall Gale would

great satisfaction to her.
Gale never had children

She loved cats. Sam was her
favourite cat. They brought
her much joy and comfort.
Gale had a “likeable” personality.
She got along with
everyone and she liked
people. She liked to joke
around and always made
everyone laugh.
She will be sadly missed
by all those who knew her.

Notice of Increase
to the Franchise Fee
on Electric Billings
Please be advised that the Village of Clive is proposing
to increase the local access fee, which is charged to
FortisAlberta Inc. (FortisAlberta) for use of municipal
lands for its power lines effective January 1, 2023.
The fee is recovered by FortisAlberta from its
customers as the local municipal access fee on electric
billings of all customers that receive electric service in
the Village. This local access fee will be increased from
$7.32 (10%) to $8.05 (11%) of the delivery charge of
FortisAlberta, excluding energy related riders.
This calculation is based on 640 kWh consumption
in 30 days.
Questions or concerns should be directed to
Carla Kenney, CAO at (403) 784-3366 or
email admin@clive.ca.
Thank you.
Notice of Increase to
the Franchise Fee on
Natural Gas Billings
The Village of Clive is proposing to increase the natural gas
distribution franchise fee which it charges ATCO Gas and
Pipelines Ltd. for the exclusive right to deliver natural gas to
the residents of Clive and for use of municipal lands for its
natural gas lines, effective January 1st, 2023. The franchise fee
applies to all customers that receive gas services in Clive and
is required to be billed as a separate charge on gas billings.
The current franchise fee is set at 16.17% of ATCO Gas and
Pipelines Ltd. delivery revenues and will increase to 17.17%
effective January 1, 2023. For an average residential customer
using 115 GJs per year, this will result in an annual increase of
approximately $6.61 from the average that would otherwise
be paid in 2023. The franchise fee is anticipated to account for
approximately $113.43 of the average annual residential bill
in 2023.

Federal grant for energy efficiency audit system
Cont’d from Pg 2
Council noted that an individual
hired as a campground attendant
could be kept on year-round and the
position changed to accommodate
other town departments.
The CAO will draft tentative advertisements
for the position of
campground attendant to be brought
back to council.
The campground also has a trailer
dumping station, large areas for group
camping, a camp kitchen, and a large
new playground. The Coronation Dam
is home to Rainbow Trout and
Northern Pike and accommodates
year-round fishing. There is a boat
launch for small fishing boats.
Sustainergy Group presentation
A federal grant could be available to
help Coronation town council offset
the cost of accessing an energy efficiency
audit system, designed to help
improve energy efficiency and lower
consumption usage in town owned
facilities.
Youngstown win!
Merlin Harris from Youngstown
says he’s “still in shock” after winning
the second-top EXTRA prize on the
Sept. 16 LOTTO MAX draw!
“I was sitting in the garage with my
dog when I decided to check my
tickets. I checked them and thought it
was $1000, so I got my wife to check it
too. That’s when we realized we won
$100,000!” he explained while claiming
his prize.
Harris has a few ideas for what he
will do with his recent windfall.
“I’m going to get a new car, pay some
bills then maybe take a trip to the
Dominican.”
“It feels awesome, I’m still in shock!”
he added.
Munson local takes home $1 million
MAXMILLIONS prize.
Michael Burfield is one of Alberta’s
newly minted millionaires in the Sept.
27 LOTTO MAX draw.
The morning after the draw,
Burfield went to a nearby store to
check his tickets. When he scanned
his ticket, he knew he had won big.
“I was trying to count the zeros to
see how much it was, but it flashed so
quickly,” he recalled as he claimed his
$1 million prize. “I was in sheer
shock!”
“I’d like to take the kids on a trip to
Disneyland and then do some home
renovations,” he said.
Champs
Cont’d from Pg 7
“Mr. Jefferson and others risked
their lives so that we could live in a
better world.”
Through The War Amps “Operation
Legacy,” Isla and young amputees
across the country pay tribute to the
veteran members of the Association
who laid the foundation for programs
that continue to make a difference in
the lives of amputees today.
“Because of their work, child amputees
have the tools and resources they
need to be active, independent, and
confident,” says Jamie.
But Charlie says he also takes comfort
in knowing that Isla and other
“champs” will continue spreading the
message of remembrance, even when
he no longer can.
Adds Jamie, “They [veterans]
passed this legacy to younger amputees,
and now it’s their turn to share
these stories so that the sacrifices of
veterans and all those who served are
never forgotten. It’s a wonderful
legacy!”
At its regular meeting
Tues. Oct. 24 council listened
to a Zoom
presentation by Peter Hart,
business development manager
at Sustainergy Group
Inc. The group, based out of
Sherwood Park, helps clients
reduce operating costs
by identifying and capitalizing
on energy efficiency
opportunities.
Hart also spoke to council
about the opportunity to
access the Federation of
Canada Municipalities
(FCM) grant if they agreed
to work with Sustainergy
Group Inc.
During his presentation,
Hart explained to council
how Sustainergy Group
would install a monitoring
device which would, ultimately,
be a cost efficient
and effective way to keep
track of energy
consumption.
“We diagnose where the
energy is going and improve
the efficiency by monitoring
and looking for irregularities,”
he said. “Over time we
can also measure the deterioration
of equipment.”
Hart said the cost of
installing such a system at
the arena, curling rink and
pool would be approximately
$28,276 which would
be offset by a federal grant
of around $22,621, leaving
the town with a bill of $5,600.
The yearly fee for the energy
efficiency audit system is
$1,500.
This cost is covered by the
grant in the first year of
installation but would then
be a yearly fee charged to
the municipality.
Hart told council that 70
per cent of the FCM grant

Hiring for snow removal
At a recent meeting
Coronation town council
discussed a proposal from
The Coronation Housing
Authority to hire a seasonal
part-time employee to help
remove snow accumulation
at King Court and Windsor
Manors.
During the discussion it
was noted that a part time
staff person hired to help at
the senior’s facilities could
also help clear areas of the
municipality and also
approach the mall merchants
to address their snow
clearing requirements.
“All public works is used
for snow removal,” said
Mayor Ron Checkel after the
meeting. “It makes sense to
hire extra people after a
blizzard. It helps get the
snow clearing done sooner
and as they are just hired for
when we need them, it is
cheaper.”
CAO Quinton Flint noted
that the housing authority
had previously sent out a
tender to contract the

position of snow clearing out
and received only one
inquiry.
It was noted during the
meeting that the town can
cover staff members for
snow removal with their
own insurance if
they are considered
staff and on
the payroll. The
individual covering
this
position could be
hired out to the
manors and the
mall merchants
to recover the
staffing costs.
Council unanimously
approved
a motion by
Deputy Mayor
Brett Alderdice
that direction be
given to the CAO
to provide council
with different
options on how to
best move forward with the
issue.
The CAO will look into
insurance and staffing
implications of hiring a part
time person for snow
removal.
