CLIVE COUNCIL 

Council buys 

automated 

garbage system 

with grant funds 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism 

Initiative reporter 

ECA Review 

Clive village council 

decided to go with a modern 

garbage cart pick-up system, 

using grant funds from the 

provincial government for 

most of the $60,000 price tag. 

The decision was made at 

the Jan. 23 regular meeting 

of council. 

Councillors read a report 

from village Chief 

Administrative Officer 

(CAO) Carla Kenney that the 

municipality recently 

received a request from the 

village’s garbage contractor, 

C & S, to move from its current 

manual garbage and 

recycling pick-up to an automated 

system. 

“A mobile cart project in 

the amount of $40,200 was 

included in the 2023 capital 

budget, $26,000 from the garbage 

reserve and $14,200 

from grants,” stated 

Kenney’s report to council. 

“Based on the updated 

quote received the project is 

estimated at $60,000,” she 

stated, adding that the 

project includes two 64 

gallon plastic carts for each 

address that receives pickup 

in Clive, one for garbage 

and one for recycling. 

The CAO noted garbage 

pick-up will continue to be 

done from back yards. 

“It is important to Clive 

that pick-up remains in the 

back yard to minimize 

heavy truck traffic on the 

older thin pavement 

streets,” stated the CAO. “C 

& S has indicated they will 

maintain back yard pick-up 

where spacing permits.” 

Kenney provided councillors 

with a breakdown of 

how the new system would 

be funded, and she confirmed 

that the provincial 

government’s Municipal 

Sustainability Initiative 

(MSI) funding applies to this 

type of project.

Early bird discount, factor in license renewals 

Cont’d from Pg 1 

Kenney stated MSI will cover 80 per 

cent of the project, with Clive paying 

the other 20 per cent, $12,000. The CAO 

stated the garbage reserve fund will 

have about $31,000 in it to begin the 

year. 

Councillors passed a resolution to 

proceed with the new automated garbage 

pick-up system. 

Pump ran for 39 years 


purchase a new water pump after 

reading a report prepared by Public 

Works Foreman Steve Zaytsoff. 

The report noted Clive’s water treatment 

plant has two main distribution 

pumps that alternate running for 

10-day periods, and that system operates 

365 days a year. 

The report noted pump one was 

replaced in 2019 and pump two is the 

original pump that came with the 

treatment plant and has about 39 years 

of run time on it, equalling 342,080 

hours. 

During maintenance work a contractor 

examined pump two and found 

some issues including “major corrosion” 

and vibration within the pump. 

Kenney’s recommendation was to 

replace the pump with a new one 

which will cost $31,000. 

Councillors unanimously agreed to 

do so. 

Home support 


budget just over $800 as the village’s 

share of home care services. 

Councillors read a letter 

from Family and 

Community Support 

Services (FCSS) which 

noted it needed to raise 

rates this year to cover 

operational costs. 

The letter noted Clive residents 

would be charged 

$36.50 per hour for the home 

support program and that a 

subsidy rate of $7.50 per 

hour was also available. 

“This subsidy rate will 

allow low-income seniors to 

be able to have affordable 

home support services 

through us and allow them 

to remain in their own 

homes longer with these 

supports,” stated the FCSS 

letter. 

The CAO noted that clients 

also chip in with 

payment too. 

Cats and dogs 

Kenney provided councillors 

with a report on dog 

and cat licensing in 2023: 96 

East Central Gas Co-op Ltd. 

ACCEPTING TENDERS for a 

2012 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 

GST will be added to all tenders. 

Tenders will be accepted until 4:00pm on 

Friday, March 3rd, 2023. 

Not necessarily will just any tender be accepted. 

Please deliver tenders in a sealed envelope marked 

“Tender for 2012 Truck” directly to:

EAST CENTRAL GAS CO-OP LTD. 

dog tags have been issued 

and 48 cat tags, with the 

CAO suspecting the early 

bird discount a factor in so 

many renewals. 

She noted registrations 

are much higher than the 

same time last year. 

As for the ubiquitous 

urban chicken Kenney 

pointed out only two hen 

licenses have been issued so 

far in 2023, the same as last 

year. 

In the wrong spot 

Kenney noted the village 

office received a complaint 

of an oversize vehicle parked 

on a residential street in 

Clive. She noted the complaint 

was forwarded to the 

community peace officers.

Sarah Baker 


Castor town councillors were 

stuck on the issue of whether or 

not to approve the recreation 

volunteer claim form which 

allows for volunteer coaches to 

claim payment for costs related 

to the necessary coursework 

required of them during the 

meeting on Mon. Jan. 23. 

Volunteer coaches working 

with recreation programs are 

required by associations to be 

qualified and maintain a certain 

level of coursework 

depending on the level of the 

players and the sports they’re 

coaching. Many of the courses 

aren’t necessarily offered in 

rural areas the volunteers are 

required to travel. 

While the Town of Castor currently 

reimburses the cost of the 

course there has been no set 

procedure to reimburse other 

expenses. 

During the discussion council 

CORONATION COUNCIL 

Concern over doctor situation 

Sarah Baker 


Coronation council discussed 

a way to help handle 

the medical service situation 

the community is 

currently facing during 

their regular council 

meeting on Mon. Jan. 23. 

Council heard two physicians 

will be leaving the 

community in mid-April 

resulting in two open positions 

at the Coronation 

Hospital and Clinic. 

For council, it is important 

for immediate action to 

be taken in order to address 

the situation. 

Council carried unanimously 

a motion to send a 

letter to MLA Nate Horner. 

Coronation fire agreement 

An amendment to the 

agreement the Town of 

Coronation has in place with 

the County of Paintearth 

members brought forward questions 

and concerns regarding 

the issue. 

“How many people go and 

where do they go,” said Coun. 

Kevin McDougall. 

Assistant CAO Donna Roland 

said it really depends on where 

the course is located, and who 

and how many are volunteering 

to coach. 

With the need for more information 

to make a decision 

council made a motion to table 

this item for a future meeting. 

Firearms authorization 

Council authorized the use of 

a firearm within town limits to 

four individuals who applied to 

be able to do so. 

The authorization for the use 

of firearms is a standard procedure 

which occurs each year in 

January and the use is allowed 

for pest control, said Asst. CAO 

Roland. 

“The authorization doesn’t 

mean that they are actually 

was discussed. 

The fire agreement outlines 

the rolls and 

responsibilities of the 

county and community in 

regards to fire fighting services. 

With the agreement 

the county supplies a fire 

truck and a water truck to 

the community. The agreement 

also requires the town 

and county to negotiate 

every three years. 

The proposed amendment 

brought to council’s attention 

was to have a 25-year 

amortization period for the 

equipment used instead of 

the current 20-year period. 

The amendment is being 

made because of inflation, 

said CAO Quinton Flint. 

“The cost of inflation had 

driven the cost of replacements 

up quite 

substantively, and as such, 

the county council felt it 

would be fair to be provided 

additional time for the 

CASTOR COUNCIL 

More information needed to approve claim form 

 

ever used so like maybe if there 

was an injured deer or something 

and we have to dispose of 

the animal then it might be 

used,” said Roland. 

The decision to allow authorization 

was carried 

unanimously. 

Baseball fees 

With registration for the 

upcoming baseball season set to 

open in February council 

looked at the fees set for the 

divisions in the season. 

The decision to approve this 

year’s baseball fees remaining 

the same as last year was carried 

unanimously. 

Equipment rental 

While the town currently has 

kayaks, snowshoes and a pickleball/bunnock 

set available to 

rent, the recreation board feels 

that the snowshoes have been 

under-utilized. 

Council was told the reason 

for the snowshoes being 

equipment replacement.” 

The motion to amend the agreement 

was carried unanimously. 

Contract renewal 

Council discussed whether or not to 

enter into a contract with TAXervice 

which is a consulting firm that helps 


manage property 

tax recovery. 

For the 2023 

year, the service 

fees and rates for 

TAXervice are 

increasing which 

required council 

to either approve 

the increases or 

terminate the use 

of TAXervice 

services. 

The motion to 

approve renewing 

the contract was 

carried 

unanimously. 

under-utilized is that the 

COVID pandemic required 

the snowshoes to be shelved 

and put in storage. 

“We will relocate the 

snowshoes to a more convenient 

location,” said Roland. 

The decision to relocate 

the snowshoes was carried 

unanimously. 

Regional 

emergency 

management 

Council discussed 

the 

regional partnership 

exercise that 

the County of 

Paintearth is currently 

working on 

in order to stay 

compliant with 

the Alberta 

Emergency 

Management 

initiative. 

Council agreed 

unanimously to 

Possible solar farm project concerns 

Sarah Baker 


Director of Development for 

PACE Canada LP, Claude 

Mindorff presented a solar farm 

project to council during the 

information meeting on Wed. 

Jan. 25. 

The plan for the project is to 

put the solar farm adjacent to 

the Town of Hanna airport. 

However, while discussing 

the project and comparing the 

development to wind farms 

councillors became concerned. 

“When you talk about wind 

that is when all the confidence 

in your company fades a bit. It’s 

easy for you to promise the 

world because you don’t live 

here but we will call you to task 

because we have been put 

through the wringer by another 

company that promised the 

world and stuck it to us,” said 

Coun. Sandra Murphy. 

HANNA COUNCIL 

Other concerns have been 

brought forward by local community 

pilots due to how close 

the project will be to the 

airport. 

“We want our pilot’s questions 

and concerns listened to 

and responded to,” said CAO 

Kim Neill. 

After discussion, a motion 

was made to thank Mindorff for 

his presentation which was carried 

unanimously. 

Links activity update 

Executive Director of Lynks, 

Doray Veno provided council 

with an update on the activities 

and upcoming projects for the 

organization. 

A big update from the presentation 

heard by council is that 

further monetary assistance 

from the town which hasn’t 

been needed in the past, may be 

needed in the future. 

“There may be some 

additional responsibilities and 

additional costs that we haven’t 

had in the last two years. There 

is an impact coming down the 

road we just don’t know how 

full that impact is going to be,” 

said CAO Neill. 

Economic development 

The manager of the Harvest 

Sky Economic Development 

Corporation (HSEDC), Mark 

Nikota provided council with an 

update during the information 

meeting. 

The HSEDC works on the resident 

attraction, tourist 

attraction and investment 

attraction for the area. 

One big success brought forward 

during the meeting is 

regarding the economic developments 

marketing campaign. 

The marketing campaign is 

in the hopes of bringing new 

tourists as well as potential residents 

to the area. 

While it is hard 

to measure the 

success of the 

campaign so far 

councillors are 

happy with the 

current results. 

“Almost once a 

month someone 

has a package 

show up and I 

have no idea 

where they are 

from, it’s 

exciting,” said 

Mayor Danny 

Povaschuk.

Former Stettler RCMP commander passes away 

S/Sgt. Bruce Holliday introduces himself to Stettler town council Nov. 9, 2021. It was confirmed 

from multiple sources Jan. 26 Holliday has passed away. 

ECA Review/S. Salkeld 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism Initiative reporter 


The former commander of the 

Stettler RCMP detachment S/Sgt. 

Bruce Holliday has passed away. 

In December an interim commander 

appeared at several area council meetings 

covered by the ECA Review to 

introduce himself and stated S/Sgt. 

Holliday was not on duty and apparently 

was not expected back for an 

extended time. 

Several rumours were circulating in 

the community Jan. 26 that Holliday 

had passed away and the ECA Review 

contacted RCMP K Division in an 

effort to dispel rumours. 

RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Troy 

Savinkoff confirmed in a Jan. 27 email 

Holliday has passed away. 

“The RCMP can confirm the passing 

of S/Sgt. Bruce Holliday,” stated 

Savinkoff. “Bruce was the detachment 

commander of Stettler detachment and 

previously the commander of Bashaw. 

Bruce had 18 years of service and his 

loss has greatly affected members 

across the province.” 

Holliday was named commander of 

the Stettler RCMP detachment in Nov. 

2021 and previously been commander 

of the Bashaw detachment for a 

number of years. 

Town of Stettler Mayor Sean Nolls 

stated he was impressed with 

Holliday’s leadership and 

accomplishments. 

“S/Sgt. Holliday was an absolute 

leader from the moment he entered our 

community,” stated Nolls in a Jan. 27 

email. “He made an immeasurable difference 

in the time he served Stettler, 

and he embodied community policing 

at it’s finest. Bruce was our friend, and 

a friend to the community.” 

County of Stettler Reeve Larry 

Clarke stated Holliday was an enthusiastic 

leader in the community. 

“We feel a huge void as we contemplate 

the loss of S/Sgt. Holliday to our 

first responder family, and to our community,” 

stated Clarke in a press 

release to the ECA Review. 

“We hold a deep admiration for the 

way he re-ignited community policing 

in our region and for how he enthusiastically 

embraced joint initiatives like 

emergency management, school 

resource officer presence and rural 

crime prevention. 

“Our county and council will miss 

the friendship we forged as we worked 

together to make our community a 

better, safer place to live. Our thoughts 

today are in holding Bruce’s family 

and loved ones in our hearts while 

they navigate and process their very 

personal loss.” 

In a statement posted to the Town of 

Bashaw website Jan. 26 Mayor Rob 

McDonald stated his community 

appreciated Holliday’s commitment. 

“At a time like this the right words 

are difficult to find,” stated Mayor 

McDonald. “RCMP S/Sgt. Bruce 

Holliday was so much more than our 

local detachment commander. 

“It was quite evident in all our interactions 

that he cared deeply for our 

community and its residents. Clearly 

this was so much more than a job to 

Bruce – it was his life. 

“Bruce’s presence will be sorely 

missed and he will be impossible to 

replace. He was truly our friend and 

we owe him a debt of gratitude. Our 

thoughts are with Bruce’s family 

during this time,” added McDonald. 

The Bashaw detachment area 

includes the Village of Alix, and Mayor 

Rob Fehr stated in a phone interview 

Jan. 27 he and his council spent quite a 

bit of time working with Holliday when 

he was their RCMP commander. 

Fehr stated it was obvious Holliday 

was very passionate about community 

policing, “...and having the community 

be part of the solution.” 

Mayor Fehr stated he was surprised 

and saddened to hear of Holliday’s 

sudden passing. “A big loss, really,” 

said Fehr. “A wealth of experience and 

information that you don’t just 

replace.” 

Holliday was 

active in more 

communities 

than just those 

assigned to his 

detachment. 

While he was in 

Bashaw Holliday 

helped out the 

Rosebrier Rural 

Crime Watch, 

located between 

Bashaw and 

Wetaskiwin, 

noted a retired 

member of the 

group’s board. 

Tully Johnson 

stated in a phone 

interview Jan. 27 

that Holliday 

often spoke to 

rural crime 

watch groups, 

including

‘Pie in the sky’ 

energy industry 

Dear Editor, 

The commitments being made by our 

exalted ruler over his half-baked 

investment plans for hydrogen production 

would be laughable were it not for 

the tremendous cost to the rest of us for 

another ideologically driven and 

blunderous pursuit of yet another “Pie 

in the Sky” energy industry, parallel to 

what we already have and will still 

require. 

Reality is that even though the 

burning of hydrogen produces virtually 

no CO2, the production of it does. 

In fact the fossil fuel energy required to 

produce hydrogen closely approaches 

the equivalent as the energy available 

from it. 

Additionally, hydrogen is problematic 

to store requiring thick, heavy and 

expensive, extreme pressure containment 

vessels of exotic alloys in order to 

combat an effect this gas has on metals, 

known as hydrogen embrittlement. 

About the last thing I would want if 

operating a hydrogen vehicle would be 

an extreme high pressure and brittle 

fuel tank. Maybe should get on some 

Kevlar underwear. 

Onboard containment weight, as well 

as safety are seriously prohibitive factors. 

And H2 fuel cells pose a whole 

‘nother set of problems particularly in 

cold countries such as Canada. 

It was well understood by our 

Industrial Revolution forebears, there 

are no straightforward means around 

optimal fuel choices, which is why gasoline 

and diesel have long since been 

settled upon as the ideal overland 

transport fuels in terms of reliability, 

economy and safety. 

Lithium-ion batteries 

safety questioned?

vehicle (EV) lithium-ion batteries, 

unlike the flammability and fire 

hazard of gasoline or diesel which is 

governed by octane rating and the 

availability and feed rate of surrounding 

oxygen (which usually buys a 

window of time for egress), in the case 

of an EV dead short occurring, particularly 

under relatively high voltage, 

(36Volts-DC and up), the onboard contained 

electrical energy will unload at 

1/100th the speed of light, thereupon 

rapidly transforming into heat. 

Especially serious if the dead short 

occurs inside the battery. 

Design requirements for high energy 

density means the plates are placed 

close together increasing the chance of 

battery overheating or plates touching. 

Cracks in the casing due to aging or 

deterioration can introduce water 

which can easily cause a lithium-ion 

battery to ignite. 

Highway collisions also pose a high 

risk of battery internal dead shorting, 

ensuing fire and possible explosion. If 

the collision doesn’t do you in, the battery 

just might. 

Some people have similarly had the 

unpleasant experience of having their 

cell phone spontaneously burst into 

flames. An EV on board lithium-ion 

battery typically carries 10,000 times 

the kilowatt-hours energy as a cell 

phone. 

Now, for the cause of cashing in on 

subsidization by my fellow taxpayers, 

would I still wish to strap my asset 

down to an onboard lithium-ion 

battery? 

Would I stand by and watch my 

grand-kids being buckled into a bewheeled 

electric mobile toaster oven. 

Sure I would. On a cold day in Hades.

In full support of giving 

voice to municipalities 

Dear Editor, 

Upon review of the Rocky View 

County letter to Paintearth county 

dated Dec. 15, 2022, it appears to be a 

great opportunity for the residents of 

Alberta. Something we as residents 

have been asking for. 

As a resident of the County of 

Paintearth I am in full support of 

giving a voice to municipalities while 

protecting residents. Our County continues 

to bleed resident’s with our 

division losing over 20 since the last 

municipal elections. 

Thank you Rocky View. 

Dwayne Felzien 

County of Paintearth 

Excepts from the letter 

Rocky View County has put forth a 

joint advocacy for improved Solar 

Farm 

Governance 

asking other 

municipality to 

join their 

campaign. 

The letter 

stated that 

“Alberta’s 


have been given 

broad authority 

over land use 

decisions and 

consider ourselves 

stewards of the land. 

“ It is our responsibility to ensure 

orderly and beneficial development of 

lands, and to maintain the quality of 

the physical environment where our 

residents live, work and play.” 

The letter went on to say, “However, 

siting decisions for renewable energy 

projects can be appealed to Alberta 

Utilities Commission (AUC), and the 

AUC is to required to consider municipal 

land use bylaws, municipal 

statutory plans or even consult with 

municipalities when making these 

decisions. 

“ 

Rocky View County 

are also requesting that 

municipalities be sheltered 

from potential financial 

liabilities associated with 

future reclamation of 

renewable energy sites.

advertise@ECAreview.com 

“We believe that insufficient consideration 

is given to municipalities in 

this process and wish to advocate to 

the province for a more inclusive decision-making 

process.” 

Rocky View County hopes to build a 

coalition of willing municipalities to 

hire a third-party consultant to advocate 

to the Government of Alberta to 

develop an overarching policy framework 

for land use decisions on 

renewable energy projects that is more 

inclusive of municipal policies and 

interests. 

They are also requesting that 

municipalities be sheltered from 

potential financial liabilities associated 

with future reclamation of 

renewable energy sites. 

Rocky View County has allocated up 

to $10,000 towards hiring a consultant 

and are asking 

other counties, 

including the 

County of 

Paintearth to 

consider a similar 

allocation if 

interested in 

joining the advocacy 

coalition. 

Rocky View 

County reiterated 

in the letter 

that the intent is 

not to oppose the 

development of renewable energy projects 

as tey believe renewable energy 

will be an important element of 

reaching Alberta’s emissions reductions 

targets. 

“However, we believe that municipalities 

should have ore influence over 

the proves for determining where 

these projects are located.” 

Paintearth councillors excepted the 

letter as information with Coun. 

Maurice Wiart commenting, “Rocky 

View has the pockets to deal with it, 

while us smaller communities can’t 

even begin to address issues..”

STETTLER COUNTY COUNCIL 

MPC approves “undoing” 

previous subdivision 

Stu Salkeld 



The County of Stettler Municipal 

Planning Commission (MPC) 

approved a subdivision application 

that according to one of their planners 

somewhat intended to undo a previous 

subdivision. The decision was made at 

the Jan. 25 regular MPC board 

meeting. 

The MPC is comprised of members 

of county council and is chaired by 

Coun. James Nibourg. 

Board members read a subdivision 

application presented by County of 

Stettler planner Craig Teal. The application, 

filed by Scott Charles involved 

property described as Lot 1, Block 1, 

Plan 092 7925 and Lot 2, Block 1, Plan 

092 7925 within the 

W1/2-12-41-17-W4M. 

The application also noted the size of 

the parcels involved were 80.04 acres 

in Lot 1 and 195.45 acres in Lot 2. 

“The subject property is located 

approximately 17.5 kilometres southeast 

of the Village of Donalda. The 

subject property abuts Range Road 17-1 

to the west, with Lot 1 also abutting 

Township Road 41-2 to the north.” 

Teal stated this 

application in some 

ways proposes to 

undo some work of a 

previous subdivision. 

Teal stated that for 

whatever reasons the 

previous owner 

increased the size of 

one parcel and lowered 

the size of 

another. 

In 2022 a third 

parcel was created on 

the west side of the 

property. 

Teal noted the current 

owner would 

like to essentially 

restore the original 

boundary between 

the two primary parcels. 

The third parcel 

would be left 

untouched. 

“In 2007, the NW12 

and the SW12 were 

subdivided as part 

of an estate, for 

which...80 acres of 

the NW12 were combined 

with the 

SW12,” stated the 

agenda memo. 

“The resulting 

titles were Lot 1 

and Lot 2. 

“The applicant 

owns both properties, 

Lot 1 and 

2. Lot 1 is owned 

under his corporation, 

whereas 

Lot 2 is under his 

private 

ownership. 

The applicant 

proposes to reestablish 

the 

initial quarter 

section line 

between the 

NW12 and SW12 

in order to allow 

for clearly 

defined uses of 

the properties. 

“Lot 1 would 

consolidate the 80

acres to create a full quarter 

section that will be used for 

grain production under corporate 

ownership. 

Lot 2, which already has 

one acreage removed from 

the quarter section would 

serve as a recreational property 

for pasture purposes 

under private ownership.” 

Teal stated that county 

staff working with Parkland 

Community Planning 

Services (PCPS) had no concerns 

about the application, 

but one small issue did 

arise. 

“The one oddity that did 

come up is the access to the 

remaining parcel to the 

south,” said Teal, who 

pointed out the problem 

with the access is that there 

isn’t an access. It turns out 

the access belongs to the 

parcel approved in 2022. 

Teal stated the applicant 

has two options, including 

working with his neighbour 

to share the access or developing 

a new access for his 

agricultural operation. 

County of Stettler planner Craig Teal noted the current owner of 

the land in question would like to essentially restore the original 

boundary between the two primary parcels.

Coun. Nibourg asked if 

the application involved four 

parcels to which Teal 

responded no, the application 

began with three 

parcels and if approved 

would finish with three 

parcels. 

Nibourg noted the request 

seemed straightforward. 

“Pretty simple then I guess,” 

said Nibourg. 

Coun. Justin Stevens 

asked if this subdivision 

would include the new 

County of Stettler road dedication 

agreement to which 

Teal responded yes, this 

would be the first time the 

agreement would be 

included. 

Coun. Ernie Gendre asked 

if there would be surveying 

costs included. Teal stated 

yes, the applicant would 

have to hire a surveyor and 

then register with Alberta 

Land Titles, but those costs 

rest solely with him.

KNEEHILL COUNCIL 

County approves agreement with Starland, 

but wording ‘concern’ mentioned 

Stu Salkeld 



Kneehill County council approved 

what is usually a low-key process with 

a neighbouring municipality, but this 

time it included a debate over wording 

concerns. 

The approval of the Starland 

County/Kneehill County 

Intermunicipal Development Plan 

(IDP) bylaw occurred at the Jan. 24 

regular meeting of council. 

The proposed bylaw, which had 

passed first reading at a prior meeting, 

was presented by Barb Hazelton, manager 

of planning and development. She 

explained IDPs were originally mandated 

for municipalities which share a 

common boundary by the provincial 

government but the requirement was 

tweaked a bit later to allow municipalities, 

through mutual agreement, to 

waive IDPs. 

“Originally Starland County and 

Kneehill County agreed to be exempt 

from the requirement to have an IDP,” 

stated Hazelton’s summary. “Upon 

further reflection and due to the 

potential increase for proposed development 

on marginal lands that many 

municipalities are facing, it was determined 

that a more regional approach 

to this plan area would be beneficial. 

“Implementing a plan will ensure 

that identified areas will be viewed 

with a regional perspective. By 

adopting a plan that contains both 

guidelines for future uses as well as 

agreed dispute mechanisms, municipalities 

can reach agreement without 

negative impacts on either 

municipality. 

“From the perspectives of both 

municipalities, enhanced management 

of the identified land within the 

IDP area will prove advantageous for 

the long-term interests of the municipalities 

and their residents.” 

Hazelton stated that the original 

intention of IDPs was to encourage a 

collaborative approach to development. 

She also noted in her report that 

public hearings and joint meetings 

were held regarding the IDP. 

“The IDP was adopted by Starland 

following their public hearing on Dec. 

14, 2022,” stated Hazleton. “Their 

council did not have any issues with 

the draft as presented and public feedback 

was addressed during the 

hearing. 

“Administration is recommending 

that the bylaw be adopted as 

presented.” 

However, it seemed at least one 

Kneehill councillor did have an issue 

with wording within the IDP. When 

discussion began Coun. Ken King 

stated he was aware of at least one 

Kneehill councillor who had concerns 

with a word or wording within the 

IDP, but now that Starland already 

passed all readings of their bylaw it 

appeared that concern couldn’t be 

addressed. 

King stated he felt councillors 

should discuss the issue before voting 

on any more readings of this bylaw. 

County Chief Administrative 

Officer (CAO) Mike Haugen confirmed 

in an email to the ECA Review Jan. 26 

there was a concern regarding opportunity 

to comment on potential 

developments. 

“There had been some discussion in 

committee about some of the wording 

in the resource extraction and renewable 

energy development section,” 

stated Haugen. “Specifically they contemplated 

changing the word 

‘contemplate’ to something else in subsection 

3 (...however there is an 

opportunity for a municipality to contemplate 

issues not previously 

considered by the AUC...). 

“In the end they determined that 

‘contemplate’ still achieved the 

intended purpose of giving each 

municipality the ability to raise any 

concerns for developments occurring 

within the plan area. Their overall 

concern was ensuring the ability to 

have notice and provide comment on 

potential developments.” 

Hazleton acknowledged a concern 

had been voiced with some wording 

within the IDP and pointed out much 

of the lands included in this agreement 

are crown lands and that the opportunity 

for development in those areas 

was “very slim.” 

Coun. Carrie Fobes noted she had a 

concern with wording in the IDP, 

saying she knows there is crown land 

in that area but there are also residential 

properties that belong to Kneehill 

County taxpayers that could be 

affected by future development. 

Fobes stated she struggled with the 

idea developments could be passed, “... 

without even a conversation.” 

King noted he was ready to vote on 

the bylaw but wanted to make sure 

everyone else on council was equally 

comfortable.

FREE ADMISSION 

The County of Stettler Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) approved a subdivision 

application that will split an empty lot at Buffalo Sands and combine the halves with 

neighbouring parcels. 


MPC approves plan 

to divide lot, combine 

with two others 

Stu Salkeld 



The County of Stettler Municipal 

Planning Commission (MPC) 

approved a subdivision application 

that will split an empty lot and combine 

the halves with neighbouring 

parcels. The decision was made at the 

Jan. 25 regular MPC meeting. 

The MPC is comprised of members 

of county council and chaired by Coun. 

James Nibourg. 

Board members 

read a 

subdivision application 

from Judi 

Hilker and 

Shirley 

MacKinnon 

regarding a property 

described as 

Lot 20, Block 2, 

Plan 052 2242 

within “the 

Summer Village 

of Buffalo Sands,” 

with the application 

noting total 

area in the 

existing title was 

0.26 acres. 

A memo 

written by 

County Planner 

Rich Fitzgerald 

stated the applicants 

wished to 

divide the lot in 

question and 

combine the two 

halves with two 

neighbouring 

lots. 

“The subject 

property, Lot 20, 

is a vacant parcel 

with no existing 

development,” 

stated 

Fitzgerald’s 

report to council. 

“The adjacent 

properties to the 

east (Lot 103) and 

to the west (Lot 

21) each contain 

an established 

residence with 

accessory 

buildings.

Elsie G. Bish (nee Price) 

Feb. 15, 1930 – Jan. 16, 2023 

It is with heavy hearts that we 

announce the passing of our 

mother Elsie Bish. She passed 

away peacefully with her 

family by her side in Stettler 

Acute Care on Jan. 16, 2023 at 

the age of 92. 

Elsie was born in 

Forestburg, Alta. on Feb. 15, 

1930 to her loving parents 

Voila and Ernest Price. Elsie 

married Wesley Bish and lived 

in Forestburg for 69 years and Bish 

had three sons. 

Left to cherish her memory 

are her children Percy (Peggy), Dale 

(Jean), and Russ (Louise); seven 

Cont’d from Pg 9 

County Planner Craig Teal presented 

the report to council and 

confirmed the applicants wished to 

divide the empty lot and combine each 

half with their own existing residential 

lot. 

Teal pointed out the subdivision if 

granted wouldn’t quite meet lot size 

requirements for the zoning outlined 

in the land-use bylaw (LUB). Teal 

stated if the subdivision was granted 

and the empty lot combined with the 

two existing lots, the two existing parcels 

would be boosted over the 

recommended 1,000 square meter 

limit. 

Teal stated the location in question 

is a “...unique setting” located along an 

elbow and staff felt that even though 

the two existing parcels would be 

bigger than recommended it would be 

hardly noticeable. 

However, Teal did note that approval 

of the subdivision requests would 

require a relaxation of the lot size 

limit.

grandchildren: Aaron (Kelly), Darin

Kenny (Deanne), Charmaine and Zack. 

Also cherishing her 

memory are 11 great-grandchildren 

and four 

great-great-grandchildren; 

her brother Gerald Price, 

sister-in-law Lois Price, 

brother-in-law Doug Bish 

and numerous nieces, 

nephews and many friends. 

Elsie was predeceased by 

her loving husband Wesley 

and infant son John Wesley. 

Also predeceased by other 

family members: Ted and 

Rita Price, Dick Price, Jean and Alvin 

Fink, Jack and Mable (Martz) Price, 

Another issue popped up noted Teal, 

that of the existing services for the 

empty lot. Teal stated it’s uncommon 

for empty lots to be subdivided and 

combined with others when they have 

existing services. 

Teal stated the County of Stettler 

Public Works department was consulted 

and they advised as a condition 

of the subdivision the services should 

be closed off to avoid cross 

contamination. 

Coun. Nibourg asked who pays for 

the services to be closed off, to which 

Teal answered the applicants pay all 

costs, adding that the County of 

Stettler will examine the work before 

it’s buried to ensure it meets 

requirements. 

Coun. Ernie Gendre asked about the 

job of combining the land titles, 

including the costs of that work. Teal 

again responded the applicants pay all 

land title costs. 

Gendre also asked about what could 

happen in the future if that divided lot 

is subdivided off to become a separate

Applicants pay costs for subdivision 

lot again. Teal stated it’s a possibility 

but all of those costs would be paid by 

the applicant. 

Reeve Larry Clarke, when examining 

a map included in the 

application, asked if one of the existing 

lots was already encroaching on the lot 

to be subdivided. Teal answered that 

the map in question may have shadows 

or other imperfections so he couldn’t 

say if any encroachment actually 

existed. 

Councillors unanimously approved 

the subdivision application as presented 

with the conditioned as listed 

by staff.

THERESETTA SCHOOL NEWS 

Students enjoyed virtual dino safari 

 

by Brenda Kneller 

Happy New Year from the students 

and staff at Theresetta! After an 

incredibly cold end to 2022, we have 

been enjoying the milder temperatures, 

along with a number of 

engaging educational activities to 

begin the new year. 

The kindergarten students have 

been learning all about dinosaurs. 

They made their own fossils and dinosaur 

eggs, as well as reading plenty of 

interesting books. They even became 

authors, writing some great dino 

stories! 

The students enjoyed going on a virtual 

Dino Safari on Thurs. Jan. 28 with 

a leader from the Royal Tyrrell 

Museum. 

Mr. Fetaz made science class a lot 

more interesting when he culminated 

the chemistry units in Grades five, six 

and nine by blowing up gummy bears! 

The rationale was to demonstrate 

exothermic reactions and how they 

can be sped up with a catalyst; and 

how we should be happy that sugar 

doesn’t release its energy this quickly 

in our bodies! 

Mrs. Standing and the junior high 

drama class have been working hard 

on their end-of-term performance of 

their play, “Smarty Pants”. The students 

have put in a great deal of effort 

and are excited to perform for a live 

audience. 

The elementary students have appreciated 

the opportunity to participate in 

Kids Club every Wednesday after 

school, where they engage in various 

crafts and games. They were also able 

to enjoy a day of skiing at the Valley 

Ski Hill on Fri. Jan. 27. 

Junior high basketball is in full 

swing and both the girls’ and boys’ 

teams are off to a great start. They are 

undefeated after playing against 

Coronation and Consort. 

The Knights curling team, along 

with some Castor Club curlers and the 

Gus Wetter curling team had the 

opportunity to take in a draw at the 

Pinty’s Grand Slam Bonspiel that was 

being held in Camrose. 

The young curlers got to watch 

games between teams from countries 

including Canada, USA, Norway and 

Scotland. It was a fun event to attend 

and they enjoyed getting to see some 

awesome shots executed by many 

teams. Some of the Theresetta students 

were even noticed in the crowd by one 

of the Team Horgan players and managed 

to get a photo with him at the end 

of the game! 

Gus Wetter students joined us, as 

our parent council and local FCSS 

brought in guest speaker, Kelly 

Strandquist, to provide grade appropriate 

sessions on the important topic 

of mental health on Jan. 20. 

A busy day for the music classes as 

Grades three to six students had their 

monthly visit to Long Term Care on 

Tues. Jan. 24 where they entertained 

the residents with songs, handbells 

and a bucket drumming performance. 

The Kindergarten, Grades one and 

two students went to the Lodge where 

they sang and had fun challenging the 

residents to guess which mystery 

songs they were playing on their 

boomwhackers. 

All students from K-9 gathered in 

the gym on Tues. Jan. 24 with food 

bank donation items they had been 

collecting in their classrooms for the 

past two weeks. 

Students had some 

fun with their donations 

before sending 

them off to the Castor 

Food Bank. 

Classes competed 

as teams to build the 

tallest tower out of 

their food and one 

classroom item they 

chose to include. The 

teams got creative by 

grabbing chairs, 

desks, and even a 

very tall teacher, to 

aid in making their 

towers the tallest. 

Thanks to some 

strategic stacking 

and the long arm 

span of Mr. Fetaz, the 

Grade 5/6 class was 

able to build the 

tallest tower out of all 

the classes. With a 

few minutes left, students 

from all grades 

joined together to try 

and make a tall tower 

from all food items collected and with 

the help of some tall junior high students, 

the group was able to build a 

very high, but very unstable tower. 

The food was then stacked and 

prepped to be taken to the Castor Food 

Bank to restock their shelves after 

their busy holiday season. 

Theresetta school students, from the left, Phoenix Johnson, 

Owen Beaumont, Leah Boxma and Tessa Beaumont attended the 

Pinty’s Grand Slam Curling Bonspiel in Camrose on Tues. Jan 10.
