The U13 3Cs team went with a 13 - 1<br />
win/loss record going into the playoffs<br />
and the provincial tournament, four of<br />
which went into nail biting overtime.<br />
In the provincial tournament in<br />
Consort, Alta. the girls went 5-0<br />
starting first by defeating Grand<br />
Prairie 4 - 3 on Thursday, March 21.<br />
Friday the 3Cs defeated Spruce Grove,<br />
6 - 4 and Medicine Hat, 5 - 2.<br />
In the semi final Sunday the 3Cs<br />

double overtime.<br />
The championship game on Sunday<br />

winning 6 - 5 in overtime.<br />
There are 15 girls on the team and<br />

Stettler for Provincials.<br />
The girls come from Oyen, Consort,<br />
Brownfield, Coronation, Castor and<br />
Halkirk.<br />
“From the moment this team<br />
stepped on the ice for their first practice,<br />
you could see the team had what it<br />
takes to become champions,” said 3Cs<br />
coach, Ryan Schedlosky The way they<br />
treated each other as equals even<br />
though some were meeting each other<br />
for the first time. The effort they gave<br />
on the first drill showed all of us how<br />
hard they were willing to work.<br />
“As the year went on, the teamwork,<br />
effort and fun got stronger week after<br />
week.”<br />

BASHAW COUNCIL<br />
Council wants draft <strong>2024</strong> operating budget smaller<br />
Stu Salkeld<br />
Local Journalism Initiative reporter<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
Bashaw town council wants to<br />
whittle down their draft <strong>2024</strong> operating<br />
budget after a detailed presentation at<br />
the March 20 regular council meeting.<br />
Town Chief Administrative Officer<br />
(CAO) Theresa Fuller presented the<br />
draft operating budget to councillors,<br />
noting in her report that the town’s<br />
2023 financial statement is still being<br />
prepared.<br />
“Once the audit is complete, the<br />
actuals within the budget will be<br />
updated and may impact the overall<br />
budget,” stated Fuller in her memo to<br />
council.<br />
As Fuller and other staff reviewed<br />
all sections of the draft budget, she<br />
noted a few key areas.<br />
She began by saying there appeared<br />
to be a sight increase in staff functions<br />
and this was likely due to the policy of<br />
providing turkeys or hams to staff at<br />
Christmas, while the price of these<br />
items has increased noticeably; she<br />
noted councillors may wish to revisit<br />
that policy.<br />
Under general administration,<br />
Fuller stated the budget remains fairly<br />
stable, noting that the previous grant<br />
program quite important to municipalities,<br />
the Municipal Sustainability<br />
Initiative (MSI), has been replaced by a<br />
new program, the Local Government<br />
Fiscal Framework (LGFF) and<br />
Bashaw’s grant appears to be the same<br />
amount at $118,190.<br />
It was noted that a public auction<br />
generated additional revenue for this<br />
department.<br />
Fuller stated that provincial requisitions<br />
such as education tax are tricky:<br />
the rate based on property assessment<br />
stayed much the same for education<br />
tax, but property values increased, so<br />
taxpayers will see an increase<br />
described as nine per cent.<br />
Coun. Cindy Orom asked if the Town<br />
of Bashaw’s switch to monthly water<br />
billing affected this department. Fuller<br />
responded no, that would be part of the<br />
water budget.<br />
The fire department was briefly discussed;<br />
the draft budget proposed<br />
stable funding and Fuller noted the<br />
department expects more calls in <strong>2024</strong>.<br />
She also noted the Bashaw Fire<br />
Department has been successful in<br />
finding grant money.<br />
Coun. Kyle McIntosh asked if the<br />
proposed wildland fire truck is listed<br />
in this budget; the CAO responded that<br />
the truck will be included in the capital<br />
rather than the operating budget.<br />
The community services department,<br />
stated Fuller, can be tricky to<br />
budget as it’s difficult to predict, for<br />
example, how many building permits<br />
will be sought.<br />
She noted FCSS costs are a bit<br />
higher.<br />
Discussing the Public Works department<br />
Fuller stated dust control and<br />
insurance costs have climbed. A bit<br />
more money has been earmarked for<br />
the airport as Fuller stated it’s unclear<br />
if a door being left open and a tap left<br />
running was an accident or intentional<br />
vandalism.<br />
It was noted tipping fees at the landfill<br />
have gone down substantially, and<br />
the CAO noted that’s because Bashaw<br />
residents are strong recyclers.<br />
Councillors also discussed maintenance<br />
and other costs associated with<br />
the community hall, with the CAO<br />
noting this building costs substantial<br />
money. “It’s an expensive building,”<br />
said Fuller.<br />
In the recreation department staff<br />
mentioned unused ice time at the<br />
arena; it was noted users groups may<br />
want that ice time but aren’t aware of<br />
it.<br />
Councillors discussed the draft operating<br />
budget; Mayor Rob McDonald<br />
noted that if about $66,500 were cut<br />
from this draft, town council would<br />
only have to consider a five per cent<br />
property tax increase or less if more<br />
savings can be found.<br />
Coun. Bryan Gust stated he felt that<br />
there are places to find savings in the<br />
draft budget, plus suggested using<br />
reserves to get any possible tax<br />
Small town business can easily be target<br />
of fraud through calls, email, social media<br />
Stu Salkeld<br />
Local Journalism Initiative reporter<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
Rural Alberta communities aren’t<br />
immune from fraud, and small business<br />
is often the target of sophisticated<br />
fraudsters, whether they be provincial,<br />
national or international in nature.<br />
As March is Fraud Awareness<br />
Month, business owners can benefit<br />
from some advice that may very well<br />
save them some money.<br />
Local businessman Gord Lawlor,<br />
who has owned and operated jewelry<br />
stores in multiple communities, shared<br />
some of his experiences with fraud in<br />
an effort to help other business owners<br />
avoid being ripped off by con-men.<br />
In a phone interview March 19<br />
Lawlor stated local business owners<br />
may be wary of someone contacting<br />
them by phone, email, text or social<br />
media with interest in something<br />
expensive or extravagant.<br />
He cited as an example someone contacting<br />
him by phone from another<br />
province asking about a rather expensive<br />
piece of jewelry, even something<br />
up to $15,000. As the call proceeded the<br />
caller had excuses for everything,<br />
including a credit card that was<br />
declined; the scammer claimed they<br />
just booked an expensive vacation on<br />
that card and must have maxed it out.<br />
Lawlor noted eventually staff<br />
decided not to proceed with a proposal<br />
that big over the phone; this is an effective<br />
strategy, as requesting the buyer<br />
appear in person may in effect call<br />
their bluff.<br />
If, as suspected, the caller is actually<br />
a scammer in another province or<br />
country, obviously they will not appear<br />
in person at your Stettler-area<br />
business.<br />
Lawlor stated that an acquaintance<br />
of his called describing a phone call<br />
like this. The friend stated they were<br />
quite excited about the prospective<br />
large purchase which can mean a lot to<br />
a small business’ bottom line, but the<br />
friend had an uneasy feeling that<br />
“something was wrong.”<br />
As it turned out, Gord spoke to his<br />
staff and they suspected the original<br />
phone call was a scammer attempting<br />
to rip them off.<br />
Lawlor noted that these fraud lures<br />
dangled by scammers may be very<br />
tempting to a small business owner<br />
who is struggling to make ends meet.<br />
Lawlor also related an incident he’d<br />
heard about locally where a woman<br />
was targeted in a romance scam;<br />
apparently, this lady had a “fiancé”<br />
overseas who was directing her to<br />
essentially send her life savings to him<br />
through gift cards. Red flags were<br />
being thrown up when this lady was<br />
regularly purchasing $1,000 to $1,500<br />
worth of gift cards.<br />
Technically, it’s not illegal for<br />
someone to buy that many gift cards<br />
over that short period a time but<br />
friends and family may note that it’s<br />
out of character for a person to do so, a<br />
signal that something may be wrong.<br />
These are some of the pitfalls that<br />
rural Alberta business owners face<br />
through modern fraud. The RCMP provided<br />
a wealth of information and good<br />
advice for Fraud Awareness Month.<br />
Federal campaign<br />
RCMP Federal Policing Strategist<br />
Christina Zoernig shared a treasure<br />
trove of information about the bewildering<br />
array of fraud facing not just<br />
business owners but Canadians in<br />
general.<br />
“This March, the Alberta RCMP will<br />
be sharing information and resources<br />
in support of the Alberta Community<br />
Crime Prevention Association’s<br />
(ACCPA) Fraud Prevention Month<br />
campaign,” stated a press release to<br />
the <strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong> newspaper March 6.<br />
“The campaign, which will include a<br />
weekly theme, seeks to educate<br />
Albertans on the many ways that<br />
fraudulent activity impacts their<br />
communities.”<br />
She noted some scams getting a light<br />
shone on them included romance<br />
scams (partner is interested in you and<br />
asks you to send them money),<br />
phishing emails (email is fake and<br />
clicking it exposes your computer to<br />
theft), job scams (job doesn’t exist), buy<br />
and sell fraud (item doesn’t exist), lottery<br />
and/or prize scams (you are asked<br />
to pay a fee to claim your prize), tech<br />
repair scams (problem they describe<br />
doesn’t exist); and impersonation<br />
scams (sometimes called the grandparents<br />
scam).<br />
“How can you protect yourself from<br />
these types of scams?” mused Zoernig.<br />
“Here are some helpful resources:<br />
Use strong and unique passwords for<br />
your online accounts; Learn the seven<br />
major red flags of phishing emails; and<br />
learn how to better protect your money<br />
from cyber criminals.”<br />
The seven red flags include threats,<br />
request for private information, sounds<br />
too good to be true, email shows up out<br />
of the blue, information mismatch such<br />
as obvious spelling errors, suspicious<br />
attachments and amateurish design.<br />
Another area of focus in the campaign<br />
is business fraud such as<br />
investment fraud via social media;<br />
Ponzi or pyramid schemes; cryptocurrency<br />
scams; real estate investment<br />
scams; and offshore investment<br />
schemes.<br />
Cpl. Sean Milne of the Alberta<br />
RCMP Provincial Financial Crime<br />
Team added, “As technology continues<br />
to evolve, scammers are finding new<br />
and innovative ways to convince a<br />
target that they are legitimate.<br />
Canadians can better protect themselves<br />
from these online tactics by<br />
learning how to secure your accounts,<br />
devices and digital connections.”<br />

RCMP advised that if you believe<br />
you may be a victim of fraud, or are<br />
currently being targeted by fraud,<br />
please report it to your local law<br />
enforcement and the Canadian Anti-<br />
Fraud Centre (CAFC) at 1-888-495-8501.<br />
Instances of compromised personal<br />
and/or financial information should be<br />

Coun. McIntosh stated he felt councillors<br />
should have a talk about the<br />
dog/cat bylaw and mentioned a recent<br />
incident where dogs running at large<br />
cost the Town of Bashaw a substantial<br />
amount of money.<br />
Councillors unanimously passed a<br />
resolution instructing town staff to cut<br />
at least $66,500 from the draft operating<br />
budget and bring the issue back<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB March <strong>28</strong>'24 3<br />
<br />
HANNA COUNCIL<br />
Discount rent for farmers market continued<br />
Stu Salkeld<br />
Local Journalism<br />
Initiative reporter<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
Hanna town council continued<br />
to subsidize rent for the<br />
local farmers market after a<br />
presentation from that nonprofit<br />
organization at the March<br />
12 regular meeting of council.<br />
Councillors heard a presentation<br />
by Peggy Rehill on behalf<br />
of the Hanna Farmers Market<br />
requesting a reduced rental rate<br />
for space in the curling rink.<br />
The Farmers Market also<br />
provided a letter from Farmers<br />
Market Manager Melissa Ray<br />
providing more information for<br />
the request, acknowledging the<br />
Town of Hanna has provided a<br />
rental subsidy in the past for the<br />
farmers market.<br />
The letter outlined a number<br />
of challenges facing the market,<br />
including pandemic recovery.<br />
Rehill, who also provided<br />
councillors with a financial<br />
statement on the non-profit<br />
farmers market, noted those<br />
involved wth the farmers<br />
market wish to serve the<br />
<br />
community.<br />
“We didn’t make a lot of<br />
money but we’re not in it for<br />
money,” said Rehill. “We’re in it<br />
for service.”<br />
Rehill stated the organization<br />
regularly hears from people<br />
who appreciate this service and<br />
those involved, including vendors,<br />
organizers and visitors,<br />
feel the service is worthwhile.<br />
Rehill noted last year the<br />
farmers market had 35 different<br />
vendors from Hanna, with<br />
another 30 vendors from out of<br />
the community.<br />
Rehill noted that non-profit<br />
societies are offered free tables<br />
at the farmers market, and it<br />
was noted five such organizations<br />
took advantage of that<br />
opportunity; two of them were<br />
at the market every week.<br />
Coun. Sandra Murphy stated<br />
that after visiting the farmers<br />
market herself she was disappointed<br />
by the huge space and<br />
few tables plus the dark atmosphere<br />
of the venue. Murphy<br />
asked if the curling rink is the<br />
best place to hold the farmers<br />
market.<br />
Rehill responded the<br />
organization has looked around<br />
at other venues, but considering<br />
things like vendor and visitor<br />
access, the curling rink is the<br />
only facility that meets all<br />
needs; plus, the curling rink<br />
isn’t heavily used during the<br />
summer so it’s available when<br />
the farmers market wishes.<br />
It was noted the farmers<br />
market doesn’t do fundraising<br />
and the Hanna Ag Society is its<br />
sponsor, a requirement for<br />
farmers markets in Alberta.<br />
Coun. Sandra Beaudoin noted<br />
that farmers market vendors<br />
and visitors, especially out-oftowners,<br />
probably support local<br />
businesses when they visit<br />
Hanna.<br />
Rehill agreed, noting the<br />
farmers market doesn’t usually<br />
offer a concession so vendors<br />
will likely visit Hanna’s eating<br />
establishments.<br />
The farmers market representative<br />
noted the organization<br />
actually posted a loss in 2023,<br />
their biggest ever, stating the<br />
non-profit was very grateful<br />
that the Hanna Ag Society has<br />
helped them in the past.<br />

Council balks at invoice<br />
for bridge replacement<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
Big Valley village council<br />
wants to meet with their County<br />
of Stettler counterparts to discuss<br />
a $30,000 invoice the<br />
smaller municipality says it has<br />
no record it ever committed to<br />
paying. The resolution to<br />
request a meeting was passed at<br />
Big Valley’s March 18 regular<br />
council meeting.<br />
This was the first regular<br />
council meeting following the<br />
Feb. 20 by-election and featured<br />
newly elected Mayor Chantel<br />
Janke and Coun. Tim Fields<br />
along with current Coun. Dan<br />
Houle.<br />
Village Chief Administrative<br />
Officer (CAO) Colleen Mayne<br />
provided councillors with an<br />
update on an invoice the village<br />
received from the County of<br />
Stettler for $32,206.91 described<br />
as “BF 07577 Bridge<br />
Replacement” on the document.<br />
At a previous council meeting<br />
it was noted the invoice represented<br />
what the County of<br />
Stettler claimed was the village’s<br />
share of construction on<br />
the bridge located on Twp. Rd.<br />
#355 which connects Big<br />
Valley’s Railway Ave. to Hwy.<br />
56. The construction work was<br />
completed in summer of 2023.<br />
When the invoice was last discussed<br />
the Village of Big Valley<br />
was without council quorum<br />
and still under the guidance of<br />
the provincial government’s<br />
Official Administrator (OA)<br />
Gene Sobolewski; at that time<br />
the OA decided the issue should<br />
be tabled for the newly elected<br />
council to decide.<br />

which was approved by resolution<br />

“Upon receipt of the invoice, out the Village of Big Valley has<br />

the farmers market a discounted<br />

later in the discussion this is<br />

FROM THE BLEACHERS<br />
No easy games at<br />
men’s world curling<br />
by Bruce Penton<br />
Based on historic results that show<br />
Canada has won 36 world titles, 25<br />
more than the next-best country,<br />
Canada’s Brad Gushue, who defeated<br />
Saskatchewan’s Mike McEwen for the<br />
<strong>2024</strong> Brier title, should<br />
win this year’s men’s<br />
world curling championship<br />
in<br />
Schaffhausen,<br />
Switzerland.<br />
Based on recent history,<br />
however, the<br />
odds-on favourite to<br />
win the event that<br />
starts this weekend<br />
would be Niklas Edin<br />
of Sweden, who has<br />
won four of the past five titles.<br />
Penton<br />
But based on current excellence, the<br />
favourite should be Italy’s Joel<br />
Retornaz, who skips the No. 1-ranked<br />
team in the world. And if recent play in<br />
the Grand Slam of Curling events<br />
should be considered, watch out for<br />
Bruce Mouat’s Scottish entry.<br />
Then there’s the U.S., which won the<br />
Olympic gold medal in men’s curling in<br />
2018 and will send veteran John<br />
Shuster to this year’s worlds. And if<br />
home-ice advantage is at all a factor,<br />
then watch out for the Swiss entry<br />
skipped by Yannick Schwaller.<br />
In other words, it’s wide open. The<br />
oddsmakers in Vegas would be perplexed<br />
about setting gambling lines,<br />

Remember to<br />
identify all people in your photos.<br />
but one thing is for sure: The curling<br />
talent gathering in Schaffhausen<br />
should guarantee a great event.<br />
Gushue will wear Canada’s colours<br />
for the sixth time, and third straight.<br />
The game hasn’t been kind to him at<br />
the worlds, however, with only one<br />
championship to his credit. But he<br />
is the most experienced Canadian<br />
skip and with rink-mates Mark<br />
Nichols, E.J. Harnden and Geoff<br />
Walker, a podium finish is almost<br />
guaranteed.<br />
Besides his lone world championship,<br />
Gushue also has three<br />
runners-up finishes — all to Edin,<br />
which is the foundation for one of<br />
the sport’s great all-time rivalries.<br />
Retornaz won four bonspiels this<br />
season, three on the Grand Slam circuit<br />
in Canada and one in Europe, the<br />
Baden Masters. Winning the world<br />
title this year would be an astounding<br />
accomplishment, considering Italy is<br />
one of five countries to have never won<br />
at the world level (Germany, Denmark,<br />
Finland and France are the others).<br />
As well, the next Winter Olympic<br />
Games will be held in February, 2026<br />
in Milan, Italy and what a special treat<br />
it would be for Retornaz to represent<br />
his country knowing he has a world<br />
title on his resume.<br />
Scotland and Sweden can never be<br />
counted out at the world championship.<br />
Edin has won six world<br />
championships and Mouat, the<br />

Scottish rep, is the defending world<br />
champ. (Strange how Scotland picks its<br />
representative: Mouat lost in the semifinals<br />
of the Scottish championship,<br />
eventually won by Ross Whyte, but<br />
Scottish Curling decided that Mouat<br />
should represent the country at the<br />
world event.)<br />
And if the Swedish, Italian, Scottish,<br />
Swiss and American competitors<br />
weren’t enough to give Gushue sleepless<br />
nights, rinks representing South<br />
Korea and Japan have been showing<br />
great improvement in recent years.<br />
It’s a wide-open competition, and<br />
Gushue is 43 years old and nearing the<br />
end of his dominant days, so Canadian<br />
curling fans will be rooting for him to<br />
add one more title to his resume.<br />

Stettler county deputy reeve appointed to ASCHA<br />
The County of Stettler Deputy<br />
Reeve, James Nibourg was recently<br />
appointed as the President of the<br />
Alberta Seniors and Community<br />
House Association (ASCHA). Deputy<br />
Reeve Nibourg brings a wealth of experience<br />
and dedication to this important<br />
role.<br />
Nibourg, has been a council member<br />
for the County of Stettler for 13 years,<br />
and has a long and committed history<br />
with ASCHA, previously serving on<br />
the ASCHA Board as a director and<br />
vice president. His passion for serving<br />
Albertans, especially seniors, is evident<br />
in his work and advocacy within<br />
the association.<br />
“Being chosen the President of<br />
ASCHA is a true honour, and I am<br />
grateful for the opportunity to continue<br />
serving Albertans in this<br />
capacity. I am excited to work alongside<br />
the dedicated members of ASCHA<br />
to advocate for the needs of seniors and<br />
ensure access to quality housing and<br />
community supports. Together, we<br />
will strive to make a positive difference<br />
in the lives of those we serve,”<br />
said James Nibourg.<br />
The Alberta Seniors & Community<br />
Housing Association (ASCHA) is made<br />
up of member organizations that offer<br />
community and senior housing<br />
options to Albertans. The association’s<br />
core roles are advocacy and member<br />
services, aimed at ensuring housing<br />
providers have the education, best<br />
practices, and resources necessary to<br />
provide the very best<br />
housing and supports to the<br />
individuals they serve.<br />
Collectively, ASCHA<br />
members represent more<br />
than 60,000 units of housing<br />
in 227 communities across<br />
the province, and 75 per<br />
cent of Alberta’s total<br />
seniors housing sector in<br />
Alberta.<br />
The association has a<br />
unique mandate to champion<br />
the full continuum of<br />
community and seniors<br />
housing options, offered<br />
through the public, voluntary<br />
and private housing<br />
sectors.<br />
The ASCHA president is<br />
the only Board position<br />
elected by the entire membership<br />
at their annual<br />
general meeting, and as<br />
such, holds a higher degree<br />
of accountability and trust<br />
given by the full body of the<br />
organization.<br />
James Nibourg recently appointed president of the<br />
Alberta Seniors and Community Housing Association<br />
meets with the Honourable Nate Horner, Minister of<br />
Finance and President of Treasury Board, and MLA for<br />
Drumheller-Stettler on March 18, <strong>2024</strong> at the Alberta<br />

Charges in year long<br />
trafficking investigation<br />
In January of 2023, Drumheller<br />
RCMP initiated an investigation into<br />
drug trafficking following the discovery<br />
of multiple packages believed to<br />
be dropped utilizing a drone at the<br />
Drumheller Institution.<br />
On Dec. 1, 2023, police executed two<br />
search warrants at one residence in<br />
Calgary and one residence in Red<br />
Deer, Alta.<br />
As a result of the search warrant,<br />
the following was seized: a drone, cell<br />
phones, drug paraphernalia, a quantity<br />
of methamphetamine, GHB,<br />
Psilocybin and MDMA.<br />
RCMP<br />
RCMP laid a total of five charges.<br />
Jessica Lavallee (35), a resident of Red<br />
Deer, has been charged with possession<br />
of Methamphetamine, MDMA,<br />
GHB and Psilocybin, all for the purpose<br />
of trafficking, and possession<br />
of proceeds of crime.<br />

Dear Editor,<br />
Please review the attached Water<br />
Act Approval Licence DAUT0013330.<br />
This is a Government of Alberta<br />
issued Water Act Licence to a developer<br />
giving them access and control<br />
over several thousand acres of water<br />
and vegetation without landowner consultation<br />
or approval.<br />
This licence was issued at the discretion<br />
of the Government of Alberta and<br />
Designated Director under the Water<br />
Act, Angela Fulton.<br />
Landowners have found additional<br />
similar licences issued without landowner<br />
knowledge or approval.<br />
I asked my MLA. He provided no<br />
answer.<br />
I asked the Farmers Advocate<br />
Office. They provided no explanation.<br />
I asked Alberta Agriculture. They<br />
advised. ‘Yes, this developer has been<br />
granted access to surface water<br />
APPROVAL<br />
PROVINCE OF ALBERTA<br />
Water Act, RSA 2000, c.W-3, as amended<br />
APPROVAL NUMBER: DAUT0013330<br />
EFFECTIVE DATE: 2023-09-19<br />
EXPIRY DATE: 2026-04-30<br />
without notification or landowner<br />
approval. I shouldn’t be concerned. I<br />
should trust my government and this<br />
developer.’<br />
They then asked. How can we help<br />
you to find more water?<br />
Are we losing our water rights and<br />
access to surface water without our<br />
knowledge or approval to our<br />
Provincial Government for industrial<br />
development in a time of water<br />
shortage and in an agriculture crisis?<br />
Ask your MLA. A former<br />
Agriculture Minister, current Finance<br />
Minister and cattle producer.<br />
Why would you give other cattlemen’s<br />
water away without consultation<br />
or approval?<br />
Is it time for pitch forks, clubs and<br />
broom sticks?<br />
Happy calving. Protect your water.<br />

Solar plant petition<br />
Town of Hanna news release<br />
The Town of Hanna received a petition<br />
with over 300 names on Thurs.<br />
Feb. 8, 2023. This petition requested<br />
that Hanna town council remove Solar<br />
Power Plant as a permitted or discretionary<br />
use in any and all districts in<br />
the Land Use Bylaw 1<strong>03</strong>2-2023,<br />
including the removal of all definitions<br />
or other bylaws relating to Solar Power<br />
Plant.<br />
According to the Municipal<br />
Government Act (Section 226 (1))<br />
Within 45 days after the date on which<br />
a petition is filed, the Chief<br />
Administrative Officer must make a<br />
declaration to the Council or the<br />
Minister on whether the petition is sufficient<br />
or insufficient.<br />
Municipal Government Act (Section<br />
232 (2)) states that a petition requesting<br />
a new bylaw under Part 8, 9, 10, 17 or<br />
17.2 of the Municipal Government Act<br />
or an amendment or repeal of a bylaw<br />
or resolution made under Part 8, 9, 10,<br />
17 or 17.2 of the Municipal Government<br />
Act has no effect.<br />
Part 17 of the Municipal Government<br />
Act is the Planning and Development<br />
section and is the section of the<br />
Municipal Government Act that mandates<br />
that all municipalities must have<br />
a Land Use Bylaw. Therefore, the petition<br />
is not valid because it seeks to<br />
amend the Town of Hanna Land Use<br />
Bylaw # 1<strong>03</strong>2-2023.<br />
At the March 12, <strong>2024</strong> council<br />
meeting a resolution was passed that<br />
council accepts the Solar Power Plant<br />
Petition Report for information. This<br />
report states that based on legal<br />
advice, the Chief Administrative<br />
Officer (CAO) confirms to council that<br />
the petition received Feb. 8, <strong>2024</strong> is outside<br />
the legal scope of petitions<br />
contemplated in the Municipal<br />
Government Act RSA 2000 c. M-26; specifically,<br />
pursuant to section 232(2), a<br />
petition purporting to require an<br />
amendment to a land use bylaw (which<br />
is a bylaw addressed under Part 17)<br />
“has no effect”.<br />
Therefore, it is not appropriate or<br />
necessary for the CAO to determine<br />
sufficiency of the petition (i.e. whether<br />
the petition has met the logistical<br />
requirements of petitions as prescribed<br />
JOYCE WEBSTER<br />
Publisher/Editor<br />
office@<strong>ECA</strong>review.com<br />
in the Municipal Government Act).<br />
The CAO will advise the named representative<br />
for the petitioners of the<br />
foregoing.<br />
In addition, council at the March 12,<br />
<strong>2024</strong> council meeting passed a resolution<br />
that administration prepare a<br />
press release explaining the rationale<br />
behind the decision and that despite<br />
this decision council remains opposed<br />
to the proposed Solar Farm<br />
Development adjacent to the Hanna<br />
Airport.<br />
Council sent a letter of non-support<br />
of the project to the Developer PACE<br />
Canada LP on Dec. 13, 2023.<br />
Furthermore, council has retained<br />
legal counsel to assist the Town of<br />
Hanna with managing the Alberta<br />
Utilities Commission Intervention<br />
Process and provide guidance and<br />
direction to protect the Town of Hanna<br />
and the Hanna Airport now and into<br />
the future.<br />
Council is also planning to retain<br />
other technical advisers for review and<br />
guidance of studies completed by the<br />
developer on this project such as glint<br />
and glare, runway setbacks, etc. if<br />
necessary.<br />
Council has no authority<br />
It is important to note that under<br />
Alberta regulations, renewable energy<br />
projects approval lies with the Alberta<br />
Utilities Commission.<br />
Town Council is working diligently<br />
to safeguard the community and the<br />
airport however council does not have<br />
the authority to approve or reject this<br />
project as per section 619 of the<br />
Municipal Government Act.<br />
File a complaint<br />
Any group or individual can file a<br />
complaint with the Alberta Utilities<br />
Commission.<br />
Finding the complaint process<br />
online is very easy. Go to auc.ab.ca on<br />
the internet and at the very top of the<br />
page, you will see a link that says “File<br />
a Complaint” .<br />

Liberals deny Canadians a<br />
choice on the carbon tax<br />
by Damien C. Kurek, MP<br />
Battle River - Crowfoot<br />
On April 1, the Liberal-NDP<br />
costly coalition will raise the<br />
carbon tax by a whopping 23 per<br />
cent, the next step in their plan<br />
to increase it to 170 dollars a ton.<br />
Conservatives gave the MPs<br />
from the Liberal backbench, the<br />
NDP, and Bloc Quebecois a<br />
chance to stand up for<br />
Canadians and their constituents<br />
and stop the forthcoming<br />
hike… but they chose instead to<br />
continue to prop up the<br />
Government.<br />
This tax hike is coming at the<br />
worst possible time. Canadians<br />
are struggling after eight years<br />
of Prime Minister Trudeau’s<br />
inflationary spending and<br />
taxes.<br />
MPs had a chance to listen to<br />
their constituents and bring<br />
some desperately needed relief<br />
this week on two occasions.<br />
They could have voted for a<br />
Common-Sense Conservative<br />
motion Wed. March 13 to spike<br />
the hike, but they didn’t, which<br />
is why Pierre Poilievre introduced<br />
a motion of<br />

Geraldine Lavallee/McLean,<br />

away peacefully in Stettler, Alta. on<br />
March 19, <strong>2024</strong>.<br />
To know our mom, momma “G”,<br />
nanny, sister, auntie and friend is to<br />
know the loss that is felt. To a woman<br />
who lived life to the fullest, loved with<br />
no judgement and was always there for<br />
anyone. An inspiring artisan, a jack of<br />
all trades and all around doer, you are<br />
truly an amazing soul and are worth a<br />

PARLIAMENT<br />
non-confidence.<br />
This past Thurs. March 21<br />
Conservatives debated, and<br />
Parliament voted on a confidence<br />
motion to give Canadians<br />
a carbon tax election. The NDP<br />
and Bloc could have voted to<br />
give Canadians the power but<br />
they did not.<br />
The Liberal-NDP-Bloc coalition<br />
instead abandoned their<br />
constituents and decided to prop<br />
up the historically unpopular<br />
Liberal Prime Minister in the<br />
twilight of his disastrous<br />
Government.<br />
In fact, since NDP Leader<br />
Jagmeet Singh, was elected the<br />
NDP have voted with Trudeau<br />
on 93 per cent of confidence<br />
votes, and all confidence votes<br />
since the 2021 election.<br />
Seventy per cent of<br />
Canadians oppose Justin<br />
Trudeau’s April 1 tax hike, and<br />
70 per cent of provincial premiers<br />
– including the Liberal<br />
Premier of Newfoundland and<br />
Labrador and provincial<br />
Liberal parties in Ontario, Nova<br />
Scotia and New Brunswick –<br />
have asked the Prime Minister<br />

to stop this painful tax increase<br />
before it’s too late.<br />
But the truth is that the costly<br />
coalition is no longer listening<br />
to Canadians.<br />
While the Liberals crow<br />
about how great everything is<br />
going for them, all while<br />
Canadians are hurting.<br />
The left-leaning coalition<br />
whose policies are dominating<br />
the public agenda of the nation<br />
are causing economic misery<br />
for so many.<br />
A simple example of this is<br />
skyrocketing food bank usage,<br />
of which these essential community<br />
organizations that have<br />
always been there for those who<br />
need it are expecting to see a<br />
million more people, only more<br />
devastation on top of last year’s<br />
record usage.<br />
Justin Trudeau has created<br />
the worst economic conditions<br />
since the great depression, and<br />
Canadians have lost faith in his<br />
Government. Only Common-<br />
Sense Conservatives will axe<br />
the tax, bring home lower prices<br />
for everyone, and lead a government<br />
that you can trust.<br />

Over $250k approved for trucks<br />
Stu Salkeld<br />
Local Journalism Initiative reporter<br />
<strong>ECA</strong> <strong>Review</strong><br />
The County of Stettler council<br />
approved about a quarter million dollars<br />
for a number of new trucks,<br />
including a new fire department<br />
vehicle. The decisions were made after<br />
councillors examined tender results at<br />
the March 13 regular meeting of<br />
council.<br />
The lengthiest discussion councillors<br />
had when examining vehicle<br />
tenders was for sport utility vehicle<br />
(SUV) for the Stettler Regional Fire<br />
Department’s new regional manager<br />
Ivan Dijkstra, who presented the<br />
tender results to councillors himself.<br />
The truck in question is to be purchased<br />
by the County of Stettler and<br />
Town of Stettler in a 50/50 split. While<br />
the tender appeared to be strongly<br />
received with six offers, as Dijkstra<br />
explained a number of issues popped<br />
up.<br />
First, Dijkstra pointed out St. Albert<br />
Chrysler Dodge’s offer of a <strong>2024</strong> Dodge<br />
Durango for $68,199 didn’t meet the<br />
tender specifications of a full-size SUV,<br />
so the offer was discarded.<br />
Another offer, this one from Gary<br />
Moe Chevrolet Stettler for a 2023<br />
Yukon priced at $95,933, was also discarded<br />
as Dijkstra explained at the<br />
meeting the actual bid document<br />
wasn’t delivered according to the<br />
specifications.<br />
Another offer, this one from Stettler<br />
Dodge, wasn’t considered as their <strong>2024</strong><br />
Jeep Wagoneer for $87,429 didn’t meet<br />
the vehicle specifications and had a<br />
delivery time of up to 12 weeks.<br />
A 2023 Tahoe from Shaganappi<br />
Motors of Calgary priced at $77,609.25,<br />
was already sold by the time the tenders<br />
were opened.<br />
That left two vehicles: a <strong>2024</strong><br />
Expedition from Aspen Ford of<br />
Stettler for $67,854 with a delivery time<br />
of about six months, and a 2023 Tahoe<br />
from Competition Chevrolet in Stony<br />
Plain for $87,800 with a delivery time<br />
of only one week.<br />
During his presentation<br />
the<br />
regional fire manager<br />
stated the six<br />
month wait was<br />
excessive, plus the<br />
vehicle didn’t meet<br />
all specifications;<br />
this SUV had cloth<br />
seats which can be<br />
contaminated at<br />
an emergency call.<br />
Thus, Dijkstra’s<br />
recommendation<br />
was the 2023<br />
Tahoe from<br />
Competition<br />
Chevrolet.<br />
Coun. Justin<br />
Stevens interjected<br />
by saying if<br />
the County of<br />
Stettler approved<br />
the local offer<br />
from Aspen Ford<br />
he knew the Town<br />
of Stettler was<br />
willing to find a<br />
truck for Dijkstra<br />
to use during the<br />
six month wait<br />
time; Stevens also<br />
pointed out the<br />
cloth seats could<br />
be upgraded<br />
before delivery.<br />
Coun. Les<br />
Stulberg stated the<br />
town and county<br />
have been working<br />
hard on getting<br />

waiting six months for the<br />
fire vehicle wasn’t<br />
reasonable.<br />
Reeve Larry Clarke<br />
agreed, adding that he feared<br />
that after the six months was<br />
over the county would then<br />
be told the SUV wasn’t available.<br />
“Timing to me is<br />
critical,” said Clarke.<br />
Councillors unanimously<br />
approved a motion that a recommendation<br />
be made to the<br />
Town of Stettler that both<br />
partners purchase the 2023<br />
Tahoe from Competition<br />
Chevrolet.<br />
Three quarter ton trucks<br />
Councillors approved the<br />
purchase of two 3/4 ton 4X4<br />
trucks after examining the<br />
results of a tender presented<br />
by Director of Operations<br />
Joe McCulloch.<br />
McCulloch stated he was<br />
impressed by the wide array<br />
of offers the County of<br />
Stettler received for these<br />
trucks, but noted the original<br />
plan of purchasing three<br />
vehicles was altered to two<br />
vehicles instead.<br />
Offers were received from<br />
Aspen Ford of Stettler<br />
($68,940.90 per unit), Metro<br />

McCulloch’s recommendation<br />
was to accept the offer<br />

<strong>2024</strong>, but because these<br />
trucks are replacements the<br />
Public Works department<br />
can wait for them. In fact,<br />
McCulloch suspected the relatively<br />
low price of the<br />
trucks may have been linked<br />
to the county’s willingness<br />
to wait for them.<br />
He also noted while price<br />
point is the prime factor in<br />
considering an offer, he<br />
stated other factors such as<br />
maintenance and wheel size<br />
are also considered.<br />
Councillors unanimously<br />
accepted the offer from<br />
Aspen Ford of Stettler.<br />
Half ton truck<br />
Councillors accepted an<br />
offer from Rocky Mountain<br />
Dodge of Rocky Mountain<br />
House for a 1/2 ton 4X4<br />
priced at $50,445.25 after<br />
McCulloch presented the<br />
results of a tender that he<br />
noted received strong<br />
response: seven offers.<br />
McCulloch, who noted this<br />
half ton was a replacement<br />
vehicle for utility use, stated<br />
it’s better to have a smaller,<br />
lighter 1/2 ton for this work<br />
than a 3/4 ton. He added that<br />
he hasn’t seen prices for a 1/2<br />
ton 4X4 this low in a long<br />
time.<br />
Other offers came from<br />
Cam Clarke Ford of Red<br />

<strong>ECA</strong> REVIEW HANNA/CORONATION/STETTLER, AB March <strong>28</strong>'24 9<br />

AGRICULTURE<br />
VIEWPOINT<br />
Is government ready to raid your pension?<br />
Pension fund managers are worried that the Trudeau government<br />
is targeting your pension because “that’s where the money is”<br />
by Roslyn Kunin<br />
In the United States, the government<br />
aspires to uphold life, liberty, and the<br />
pursuit of happiness. In Canada, our<br />
goals are more modest, aiming for<br />
peace, order, and good government.<br />
While there’s always room for<br />
improvement, we have largely<br />
achieved these objectives.<br />
A big factor in this achievement, and<br />
a blessing for all Canadians, is that<br />
Canada operates under the rule of law.<br />
Our laws are formulated by freely<br />
elected legislatures, administered<br />
impartially, and upheld justly by our<br />
justice system. Unfortunately, this is<br />
not the standard in every part of the<br />
world.<br />
Think of all the autocratic, despotic<br />
or just plain chaotic countries in the<br />
world. Those who work with immigrants<br />
to Canada will tell you that<br />
many immigrants are amazed when<br />
told that judges in Canada do not routinely<br />
take bribes.<br />
We frequently invoke the old expression<br />
‘there ought to be a law’ when<br />
faced with situations that require resolution.<br />
However, there are many<br />
scenarios where enacting a law would<br />
be ineffective. Legal action would be<br />
ineffective against factors beyond our<br />
control, such as viruses and weather<br />
patterns.<br />
Laws only function when society collectively<br />
demonstrates willingness and<br />
capability to adhere to them. Centuries<br />
ago, the Talmud wisely cautioned<br />
against governments passing laws that<br />
people would not obey, as this undermines<br />
the integrity of the entire legal<br />
system.<br />
Nevertheless, we do not have to look<br />
beyond modern democracies to find<br />
examples of just such laws.<br />
Prohibition against alcohol in the<br />
United States at the beginning of the<br />
20th century is one. Too many people<br />
were just not prepared to entirely<br />
forego all beer, wine or liquor. When<br />
not available for legal purchase, they<br />
made their own, sometimes miscalculating<br />
the procedures and poisoning<br />
themselves or others.<br />
Canadian distillers got rich smuggling<br />
alcohol into the U.S. to operators<br />
of illegal bars called speakeasies that<br />
hid from the police and made a<br />
mockery of the legal system.<br />
Long-standing laws and severe penalties<br />
have not eliminated the use of<br />
non-medical drugs. They now make<br />
criminal gangs rich and powerful. The<br />
lack of quality control and the<br />
resulting death toll is sufficient to have<br />
lowered life expectancy in the U.S. In<br />
Canada, we at least have had the good<br />
sense to stop making criminals of all<br />
recreational cannabis users.<br />
The unintended and often unforeseen<br />
consequences of such legislation<br />
also prevent us from simply passing<br />
laws to banish all our ills. Take sanctions,<br />
for instance. Sanctions are<br />
prime examples of laws that never<br />
yield the intended effectiveness<br />
because the individuals and nations<br />
they target have strong incentives to<br />
circumvent them.<br />
The American ban on selling cutting-edge<br />
technology to China may<br />
slow their progress in the short run.<br />
However, the Chinese are already figuring<br />
out ways to use older technology<br />
to greater advantage and are pouring<br />
resources into developing state-of-theart<br />
components and facilities to put<br />
China at the forefront of the world<br />
technology sector – something they<br />
might not have done had the sanctions<br />
not been implemented.<br />
In Canada, our major pension funds<br />
are concerned that a law might be<br />
passed that could hurt present and<br />
future pension recipients. Pension<br />
fund managers aim to generate a<br />
return that is sufficiently stable and<br />
ample to meet pensioners’<br />
expectations.<br />

OBITUARIES<br />
Many stories of this amazing woman<br />
Sharon Ruth Watson, originally of<br />
Calgary, most recently of Stettler, Alta.<br />
beloved wife of Dave Watson, loving<br />
mother of David, Jason and Kari,<br />
passed away quietly in her home at the<br />
age of 81 years.<br />
Born in Calgary Dec. 19, 1942 to<br />
Doreen and Richard Smith, Sharon<br />
spent summers in Big Valley with her<br />
Webster grandparents and cousins, all<br />
of whom she loved dearly.<br />
This spirited young girl grew into a<br />
strong, beautiful, incredible caring<br />
woman with a fantastic sense of<br />
humour who was loved by all. Sharon<br />
loved making people laugh, and never<br />
missed an opportunity to do so.<br />
Sharon met Dave Watson in high<br />
Young man of passion and conviction<br />
Quinten Golby was born on Aug. 12,<br />
1999 at St. Mary’s Hospital, Camrose,<br />
Alta. He attended Kindergarten to<br />
Grade 9 at Brownfield<br />
Community School,<br />
Grade 10 - 12 at<br />
Coronation High School<br />
and went on to<br />
Lethbridge College.<br />
Quinten had many<br />
hobbies: reptiles, goat<br />
4-H, and Comicon, baseball<br />
and basketball.<br />
Quinten was a<br />
remarkable young soul<br />
who left a lasting mark<br />
on all who knew him.<br />
Golby<br />
Quinten was a young man of passion<br />
and conviction, with a heart as vast as<br />
the prairie sky and a spirit as lively as<br />
the creatures he so adored, lizards.<br />
His fascination with these scaled<br />
wonders was not merely a passing<br />
fancy but a testament to his profound<br />
curiosity and love for the natural<br />
world.<br />
Quinten was not one to shy away<br />
from expressing his opinions. Whether<br />
engaged in a lively debate or fervently<br />
defending his beliefs, he approached<br />
every interaction with unwavering<br />
determination and boundless enthusiasm.<br />
His tenacity was matched only<br />
by his infectious zeal, igniting spirited<br />
discussions that often left us both<br />
enlightened and entertained.<br />
Beyond his love for lizards and spirited<br />
debates, Quinten possessed a<br />
kindness that touched the lives of<br />
those around him. He had a knack for<br />
finding beauty in the simplest of<br />
things and a generosity of spirit that<br />
knew no bounds.<br />
His laughter echoed like a melody<br />
through the halls of our hearts,<br />
leaving behind cherished memories<br />
that we will hold dear forever.<br />
Though Quinten’s time with us was<br />
tragically brief, the impact he made<br />
will endure for a lifetime.<br />
As we bid farewell Quinten, let us<br />
take solace in the knowledge that his<br />
spirit lives on in the hearts of all who<br />
knew him.<br />
May his love for lizards, his unwavering<br />
conviction, and his boundless<br />
kindness serve as guiding lights in our<br />
lives, reminding us to embrace our<br />
passions, stand firm in our beliefs, and<br />
always approach each day with the<br />
same fervent joy that Quinten so<br />
effortlessly embodied.<br />
Rest in peace, dear Quinten. You<br />
will be dearly missed but never<br />
forgotten.<br />
Quinten is survived by his parents<br />
Tracey and Wade Golby; his grandparents<br />
Clarence and Donna Golby and<br />
Don and Linda Maron; brother Evan<br />
Golby; aunts and uncles - Lyle and<br />
Delayne Golby and their children<br />
Jenna (Hunter Baldwin), Adam and<br />
school and they were married in 1963.<br />
Not long after, along came children<br />
David, Jason and Kari. Sharon was a<br />
doting wife and mother who extended<br />
this love and care to three nephews<br />
who she raised for a time in their perfect<br />
little house in Parkhill.<br />
Sharon and Dave loved to travel,<br />
often taking road trips to the West<br />
Coast and into the U.S. with friends<br />
and family. Some of her favourite trips<br />
were taken with cousin Allan and his<br />
wife Sylvia, brother-in-law Wayne, and<br />
let’s not forget her iconic trip to Las<br />
Vegas with sister Deanna to see Elvis<br />
perform.<br />
It is no surprise that Sharon had several<br />
dear, close friends, many of whom<br />
Logan: Brad Golby and his children<br />
Tarisa (Kolby Wittmack) and son<br />
Kylan, Ashley (Jaycee Hendry) and son<br />
Noah, Justin (Madison Nichols)<br />
and their mother Dana Golby:<br />
Tina and Dale) Tuchscherer and<br />
children Justin (Avrianna Hebert)<br />
and Daina (Tyler Clemence), Terry<br />
(Pauline) Maron and children<br />
Hope, Isaac and Adison; numerous<br />
other relatives and many friends.<br />
He was predeceased by great<br />
uncles and aunts - Edward and<br />
Annette Golby, Don and Laura<br />
Fawcett.<br />
A Celebration of Life for Quinten<br />
was held at the Brownfield<br />
she stayed in touch with for most of her<br />
life.<br />
If you called her in the mornings,<br />
her line was often busy as she would be<br />
on the phone sorting out the gossip and<br />
problems of the world, wearing her signature<br />
orange lipstick with a coffee<br />
and a cigarette in her hand.<br />
She loved having friends and family<br />
over, and a card game or six was mandatory.<br />
She loved playing Scrabble and<br />
sometimes her games with Kari would<br />
get a little bit tense. The bingo halls<br />
and casinos will be missing her<br />
contributions.<br />
While primarily a homemaker for<br />
most of her life, in her younger years<br />
she worked at Simpsons Sears in the<br />
Legacy of love and warmth<br />
Donna Robinson<br />
1954 - <strong>2024</strong><br />
Donna Marilyn Robinson peacefully<br />
passed away on March 19, <strong>2024</strong>, leaving<br />
behind a legacy of love and warmth.<br />
She was born on Sept. 30, 1954 in<br />
Camrose, Alta. and attended<br />
Donalda School and Wm. E.<br />
Hay Composite High School.<br />
Donna met and was united<br />
in marriage to her beloved<br />
husband, Norman Robinson in<br />
1976. Together, they built a life<br />
filled with love, laughter and<br />
cherished memories.<br />
Donna was a devoted mother<br />
and grandmother to her three<br />
children, Tannis, Kent, and<br />
Donavan and her seven grandchildren<br />
Abbigail, Tova, Grayson,<br />
Lincyn, Oliver, Dax and Weldon. Her<br />
unconditional love and unwavering<br />
support were constant sources of<br />
strength for her family.<br />
Beyond her role as a mother, Donna<br />
was known for her kindness, generosity<br />
and all the ways she enriched the<br />
lives of those around her. Though she<br />
Robinson<br />
may no longer be with us in person,<br />
her spirit will live on in the hearts of<br />
all who were fortunate enough to have<br />
known her.<br />
A luncheon to celebrate Donna’s life<br />
will be held on March 27, <strong>2024</strong> at<br />
Spirit’s Respite Ranch at 2<br />
p.m. Friends and family are<br />
invited to join together to<br />
honour and remember a<br />
truly remarkable woman<br />
who touched the lives of so<br />
many.<br />

family requests that donations<br />
be made to the ALS<br />
Society, STARS, Spirit’s<br />
Respite Ranch or the<br />

credit department, dabbled in blackjack<br />
dealing, and ran a babysitting<br />
room at a local bingo hall. She was up<br />
to any task and always took great<br />
pride in her work.<br />
After moving to Big Valley in 1996<br />
Sharon finally got<br />
her drivers’ license<br />
and took great<br />
delight in driving<br />
all over to visit<br />
loved ones and to<br />
go fishing. She<br />
enjoyed being in<br />
her garden and had<br />
the most wonderful<br />
flowers which,<br />
unfortunately, the<br />
cats also loved.<br />
Watson<br />
Sharon’s health started to decline<br />
and she struggled with many new and<br />
interesting ailments in her later years.<br />
Husband Dave and her kids all made<br />
sure that she got to her appointments<br />
and that she was taken care of.<br />
In 2023, Dave and Sharon relocated<br />
to Willow Creek Lodge in Stettler<br />
where she was happy to let others do<br />
the cooking and cleaning.<br />
Sharon was predeceased by her parents<br />
Richard Smith, Doreen Toker, her<br />
beloved in-laws Edward (Jock) and<br />
Eleanor Watson, her good friend<br />
Sylvia Webster, and her loving firecracker<br />
of a son, Jason Watson.<br />
There are so many other wonderful<br />
things to say and stories to tell about<br />
this amazing woman. She will be<br />
extremely missed by her family: husband<br />
Dave, children David and Kari,<br />
nephews Greg, Clark and Brett, her<br />
great-nieces and nephews Sydney,<br />
Jenna, Brittney, Sam, Terrace and<br />
Devin who thought of her as their<br />
grandmother; sister Deanna Kuzyk,<br />
her many cousins, especially Allan<br />
and Joan, and friends, with honourable<br />
mention to Sandra, Betty and<br />
Elsie, and everyone else who knew this<br />
very special lady.<br />
We love you lots.<br />
