Subject: 8th Annual Avenue of Trees for Sheep River Health
Trust
It’s hard to believe that the time has come to talk about the
Avenue of Trees and kicking off the Christmas Season in the
Foothills.
2020 has been a challenging year, and although there are many
unknowns, we could not let 2020 go by without bringing the joy of
Christmas and Avenue of Trees, just like the past 8 years. We have
worked hard the past few months to plan this event so it is safe
and still the event you all know and love!
Changes to 2020 event
Location changed for Avenue of Trees and Photos with Santa to Best
Western Plus in Okotoks There will be no Mistletoe Market or Live
Auction this year. The Auction will solely be online with an
increased social media presence. “Tree of Hope”- The judges will
choose 10 “Trees of Hope” that will be donated to families in need.
Note, we will no longer be accepting purchased silent auction trees
donated back to the trust to be distributed back to the
community.
Sheep River Health Trust is partnering with local
businesses/community groups to transform the Best Western Plus in
Okotoks into a Christmas wonderland of beautifully decorated trees
from November 16th to December 15th, 2020. We also play host to
Santa for 5 weeks of Photos with Santa. All funds raised support
the Sheep River Health Trust with health and wellness initiatives
throughout the Foothills.
With your participation last year we raised $32,000 and donated 13
fully decorated Christmas Trees to local charities and families in
need.

5th Street and 549 highway
Hi Alan,
Just thought that I would follow up on this culvert situation as
the season is winding down. I have begun contacting landowners
along the coulee and so far everyone is excited and supportive. I
hope to have them all contacted and signed on the petition very
soon.
Jeff I believe that if the flow is uninterrupted there won’t be any
extra flow downstream as the largest flow rate now is once all the
backed up water begins to flow. If we don’t allow the water to back
up then the flow will never be to the extend it is when trying to
empty a large lake to the west.
Anyway I hope to hear something supportive soon along with a
possible action plan.
Have a great long weekend.
Best regard’s

Culvert on 5th Street and 549 highway
Terry, here is the initial thoughts from my office. The private
crossing Jeff speaks of must be on Robinsons land?? Okotoks wetland
park I’m sure is designed to be able to handle extra flow. We can
deal with the town as this progresses. Your idea of canvassing
support is a good idea including the Robinson’s. Dana Robinson
would be the contact. I’m still waiting for the quote from Wood
Engineering.

Subject: RE: Culvert on 5th Street and 549 highway Alan, I was out
there this spring during the peak. I understand the concerns but
this will be a much larger project than just replacing this culvert
as I observed issues at the crossing at meridian as well which is a
private crossing. We swap out one culvert for a larger one we’ll
need to ensure the downstream ones are up to the extra flow. Then
it runs through Okotoks wetland park area so they would need to be
consulted if there are issues. I received a quote from Wood earlier
this year to look into it let me see if I can dig it up. If you
want to discuss feel free to call.

[email protected]> Subject: Culvert on 5th
Street and 549 highway Hello Councilor Alger, Just reaching out
again to discuss this culvert situation after the reply letter from
Minister Jason Nixon on May 25 (attached). Thank you for your
support on that letter. I don’t want to let this drag on further
than I already have, as before we know it, it will be too late to
do anything this year and we will be subject to flooding again next
spring. It sounds like, from the Ministers letter, that work to
maintain the culvert would be permitted as long as work wasn’t
initiated at more that 20 meters up or downstream from the
culverts. A notification would need to be completed and filed. Can
we please address this with the county? I know when everything is
flowing at low levels there appears to be no issue with these
culverts however as you saw in the spring, it is the back up point
for all the flood waters we have experienced over the last few
years. I believe we need either larger culverts or an additional
culvert and that these culverts be placed deep enough to match flow
from the three culverts under the rail tracks to the west. If you
would like Alan I am open to canvassing the property owners along
Sandstone coulee, who are affected by this flooding, to get support
for such a project. I was just going to phone you regarding this
issue however understanding how busy you are, I thought I would
remind you of the situation and then ask for a time in your
schedule when we might be able to discuss. I am also open to
meeting with any people or departments that you would

RMA Fall Convention – Potential Meeting Please put HRC’s initials
on this one. Thank you.
Subject: RMA Fall Convention - Potential Meeting Opportunity with
Minister Allard Dear Chief Administrative Officers: I am writing
about a potential opportunity for elected municipal officials and
representatives to virtually meet with the Honourable Tracey
Allard, Minister of Municipal Affairs, at the Rural Municipalities
of Alberta Fall Convention scheduled to take place from November
3-4, 2020. Should your elected officials want to virtually meet
with Minister Allard during the convention, I invite you to submit
a request to the
[email protected] on or before
October 9, 2020. In your meeting request, please be sure to include
two to three specific policy items or issues you would like to
discuss with the Minister. As well, please include an estimate of
how many people will attend the meeting on behalf of your
municipality. We generally receive more requests to meet with the
Minister than can be reasonably accommodated over the course of the
convention. To ensure suitable consideration of requests,
municipalities should be mindful of the following criteria:
Policy items or issues directly relevant to the Minister of
Municipal Affairs and the department will be given priority.
Municipalities located within the Capital Region can be more easily
accommodated throughout the year, so priority will be given to
requests from municipalities at a distance from Edmonton and to
municipalities with which the Minister has not yet had an
opportunity to meet. Meeting requests received after the deadline
will not be considered for that convention, but may be considered
for future conventions or other opportunities.
Meeting times with the Minister are scheduled for approximately 20
minutes per municipality. This will allow the Minister the
opportunity to engage with as many municipalities as possible. All
municipalities submitting meeting requests will be notified two to
three weeks prior to the convention as to the status of their
request.
Page 26
Municipal Affairs will make every effort to find alternative
opportunities throughout the remainder of the year for those
municipalities the Minister is unable to accommodate during the
convention. Sincerely, Stakeholder Relations Municipal
Affairs
