Car seat clinics coming up in Leduc

Car seats are a critically important safe-ty feature for your little ones as they ride safely around town. However, if you’re not using those seats properly, they’re not as safe as you think.

Leduc Municipal Integrated Traffi c Unit are teaming up with Alberta Health Services and City of Leduc Fire Services for two upcoming child car seat instal-lation clinics, noted MITU spokesperson Cst. Matt Easler.

Easler said in an interview Feb. 11 that

the biggest problem police fi nd with chil-dren’s car seats is loose seats. He said both the harness to secure the child and the connections between the seat and the vehicle are not properly secured which defeats the purpose of the seat.

Easler said in a press release the up-coming clinics are important for parents to ensure their kids’ safety. “The Leduc Municipal Integrated Traffi c Unit (MITU) are working in partnership with Alberta Health Services and City of Leduc Fire Services to host a series of child car seat installation clinics,” stated Easler.

“The MITU would like to invite families,

BY STU SALKELDTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

parents, and grandparents who have car seats or booster seats to attend a free ed-ucation car seat installation which will be held rain, snow or shine at the Leduc Fire Hall located at 2-4119 50th Street in Leduc on Tuesday, March 8 between the hours of 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

“A second installation clinic will also be held on Sunday, April 3 between the hours of 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., for those who are unable to attend the fi rst clinic.”

Easler said participants should bring their car seats and booster seats with them, along with both the instruction manual for the seats, and their automo-bile owner’s manual.

“The MITU would like to remind the public that if you have a child in a car seat, the seat must be installed as per the manufacturer’s specifi cations. The MITU urges you to read your car seat instruc-tion manual as well as your vehicle own-er’s manual for proper installation direc-tions. The driver of a motor vehicle can be charged under the Vehicle Equipment Regulation for having an improperly in-stalled child seat or for having an improp-erly secured child.

“If you have any questions regarding installing a child seat in a vehicle, please call 780-980-7200 and ask to speak to a MITU member.”

Leduc hospital boosted by CT scannerPatients in the Leduc

County area can now ac-cess specialized diagnostic technology in their own community thanks to the opening of a new com-puted tomography (CT) scanner suite at the Leduc Community Hospital.

About 2,500 emergency, hospital and community patients will use the CT scanner each year at the Alberta Health Services fa-cility, the primary emer-gency centre for the city of Leduc and the surround-ing area, including the Nisku and Leduc indus-trial parks, and Edmonton International Airport.

CT scanners provide an extremely accurate 3-D image of parts of the body that could otherwise not be seen, especially soft tis-sues. This improves a doc-tor’s ability to both screen for and more accurately diagnose medical condi-tions and injuries.

“We were transporting over 600 patients requir-ing CT scans each year to Edmonton from this fa-cility, and EMS diverted patients with spinal or head injuries in the Leduc County area to an alterna-tive facility that provides CT scanner services,” says Dr. Bob Simard, facility medical director at the hospital.

“Having access to a CT scanner in our own build-ing means we can en-hance care by providing

faster and more accurate diagnostic services to our patients.”

The Black Gold Health Foundation launched a fundraising campaign last April to raise the $1.25 million needed to pur-chase the CT scanner for the Leduc Community Hospital. AHS has com-mitted to cover the opera-tional and staffi ng costs of the CT scanner while the foundation has a fi ve-year plan to raise funds to pay for the equipment.

“Being able to bring ser-vices such as CT scans close to home at Leduc Community Hospital is not only vital to the cit-izens of our region, but also to the ever-growing demands as the fi rst port of call for emergency ser-vices in the area,” says Lorraine Popik, Executive Director of the Black Gold Health Foundation.”

“We are reaching out to our community, the ones who will use these ser-vices, for fi nancial support. This is a great opportunity to give back to your com-munity.”

In its fi rst two weeks of operation, 19 inpatient and 17 emergency depart-ment patients have re-ceived a CT scan at the hospital. Previously, these 36 patients would have been transferred to anoth-er facility for diagnostic services.”

Leduc resident Tim Sopka is among the pa-tients who’ve used the local CT scanner. His fam-ily physician referred him for a CT scan to investigate a sinus condition. Sopka received his scan within seven days of his refer-ral, and he didn’t have to leave the community for the procedure.”

“I didn’t even know we had this type of equipment available in Leduc,” Sopka says. “I live and work in this community, so being able to go for a CT scan at my local hospital, rather than drive to the big city, is much more convenient for me. I think it is great the foundation is raising the money to help pay for a CT scanner so we can take care of people in our own community.”

Don’t fall for the tax scam

There’s one major scam intensifying in Alberta right now, and it plays off the average citizen’s dis-


like of the taxman.The RCMP HQ in Ottawa

this week sent out a press release asking for the media’s help in alert-ing the public about the “CRA scam,” also known as the “Canadian Revenue Agency” scam. The fraud revolves around a phone call, or possibly email, where an authoritative person confronts the call-er about an unpaid tax bill.

The Leduc/Wetaskiwin Pipestone Flyer, with the help of both Wetaskiwin and Leduc RCMP detach-ments, has been running stories and opinion pieces

since last summer about this scam in an effort to protect local residents. However, the scammers in-volved obviously take pride in their work and aren’t giving up without a fi ght.

It works like this: the scammers phone up local residents out of the blue. The caller then says “You better clear this debt up, or we’re sending the RCMP to arrest you, you wanna got o jail?” or something very similar. Of course, most people are law-abiding cit-izens and the average per-son does have a healthy respect for the federal gov-

ernment’s tax arm. If you or someone in your family has ever been audited, you know exactly why people have a healthy respect for the taxman.

The caller then directs the victim to send money in various ways, including confi dential banking in-formation which gives the scammers an opening into a victim’s bank accounts. This is what they want.

First off, readers should always trust their in-stincts. If you get a strange phone call and feel like you’re being scammed, you probably are.

Secondly, it’s not rude to hang up on scammers, telemarketers and other peddlers. They couldn’t care less about you, and you should treat them the same way. In fact, some are criminals trying to steal your hard-earned money. You are not obligated to be nice to them, or even say anything to them.

Thirdly, if you are in seri-ous tax problems with the federal government, you will receive notice in the mail through proper doc-umentation. They won’t phone and threaten you with arrest.

Editor has no right criticizing NDPDear editor,Uninformed editor?

Surely there must be a mis-take! In the Jan 21, 2016 edi-tion, the editor was round-ly criticizing our provincial government for its policies and referencing individuals who would like to remove the government. It became quickly apparent that the article was just personal bias and not based on facts. I expect the uneducated to lash out at policies which they don’t obviously under-stand or care to research. Some just like the status quo. It’s disappointing when an editor does this. I noticed your article lacked any statistics or informa-tion to support your argu-ments that the government is not doing a good job.

Perhaps you have heard of something called cli-mate change but perhaps you haven’t given your one sided view. The climate policy that the NDP has introduced cludes phasing out coal plants, replacing some of our energy needs with cleaner sources such as natural gas and renew-ables, and a carbon tax to be implemented along with other changes. This policy was not created by NDP but by all Albertans as they had opportunities both in person or online to submit their ideas. Big oil companies including Shell Oil and other major stake-holders helped to draft the

policy which was headed by a committee of experts in fi elds such as econom-ics, change management and corporate sustainabil-ity as well as a represen-tative of aboriginal peo-ple. Medical professionals wholeheartedly endorse this policy due to consid-erable disability and death from pollution caused by coal plants.

These changes are nec-essary for the continuation of our only and very pre-cious albeit polluted plan-et. These changes are also necessary for the economic future of our province as we have lost face in the eyes of the world due to being a major polluter and emitter of greenhouse gases. I in-vite you to read the entire policy at www.alberta.ca/climate.cfm

With respect to Bill 6, 9 out of 10 other provinces have similar legislation therefore is seen by the vast majority of Canadians as necessary and benefi -cial. When Albertans com-plained they were not con-sulted about the changes, the government did the right thing and stopped the legislation in order to consult with those most impacted: ranchers and farmers.

The Alberta NDP govern-ment has shown amazing leadership, integrity, wis-dom and courage to bring in changes that Albertans

needs in order to ensure a healthy environment and strong, diverse economic force for our children and

generations to come. I fi nd they consult widely with the public on many issues and have brought in poli-

cies that have broad sup-port of Albertans, myself included.

Gender neutral washrooms, special shelters are temporary solutions

The Society for Safe Accommodations for Queer Edmonton Youth (SAFQEY) is continuing it’s online GoFundMe cam-paign in hopes of raising $100,000, which will go to-ward a specialized shel-ter to support homeless LGBTQ youth. And late last year Alberta’s educa-tion minister David Eggen announced all 61 school divisions across the prov-ince need draft policies ensuring safe, caring and welcoming environments are a reality in schools for LGBTQ students and staff, by the end of March.

Recently the issues in schools were once again pushed to the forefront, following a seven-year-old transgender stu-dent’s plight to use the girls washroom in school, once again kicking up dust around the concept of gen-der neutral washrooms. SAFQEY is a grassroots or-ganization that started in 2014 and this specialized shelter would be a pilot project, the fi rst of its kind in Alberta. But this sub-form of semi-voluntary segregation should not be viewed as a positive long-term solution.

In Edmonton, 2015, a seven-year-old Catholic student wanted to use the girls washroom at school rather than the gender neutral one, as she didn’t want to be singled out or stand out over the issue. During the fall of 2015,

BUT THIS SUB-FORM OF SEMI-VOLUNTARY SEGREGATION SHOULD NOT BE VIEWED AS A POSITIVE LONG-TERM SOLUTION.

BY AMELIA NAISMITHTHE PIPESTONE FLYER

Morinville Community Catholic High School stated it was planning to make the majority of its washrooms gender neu-tral — a move apparently in the works since earlier that spring. It’s a move the school is hoping will help the students feel more comfortable and support-ed while being true to themselves.

So while some students seem happy with the con-cept of gender neutral washrooms it seems oth-ers want to be support-ed in a more traditional manner, able to more fully immerse themselves in the culture of the gender they identify with. While tackling this issue school boards are going to have to keep both in mind. School divisions developing poli-cies must follow guidelines that will allow the students to use the washrooms that correspond with the gender they identify with. As well, they are meant to be able to dress and play on sports teams aligning with that gender, and choose pro-nouns they identify with and how they’re recognized on offi cial school docu-ments. The minister and the guidelines go on to say school activities segregat-ed by gender should be re-duced as much as possible.

While the controversy surrounding the gender neutral washrooms, school boards and SAFQEY’s fund-raiser are rising along the same recent timeline, the idea of unisex and gender neutral washrooms has been around in the United States for longer. According to the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s LGBTQ organization the Stonewall Center, by July 2014 more than 150 across the United States were using gender neutral washrooms.

The Transgender Law Center, a civil rights or-ganization, states, in the

past, transgender students have been barred from using washrooms congru-ent with their identifi ed gender while at school, as well as attacked and ha-rassed in other public re-strooms. The Transgender Law Center published “Peeing in Peace” back in 2005. The document out-lines the issues at hand, the legal landscape, histor-ical bathroom activism, vi-olence (and how to handle and prevent it), potential ideas, and challenging and changing bathroom envi-ronments.

The law center feels gen-der neutral washrooms are critical because forcing LGBTQ youth to use tra-ditionally gendered wash-rooms will “out” them to their peers, threatening to create negative experienc-es. The full defi nition of segregation, according to the Merriam-Webster dic-tionary is a) “the separa-tion or isolation of a race, class or ethnic group by forced or voluntary resi-dence in a restricted area, by barriers to social inter-course, by separate educa-tional facilities or by other discriminatory means” and b) “the separation for special treatment or ob-servation of individuals or items from a larger group.”

While woefully needed at this point in time, this form of segregation has the potential to lead to a strengthened unity among those facing similar de-plorable treatment, which in itself is not a negative. But feeling confi dent this kind of separation can be a lasting solution is dis-illusioned. For example, with the gender neutral washrooms it may re-

move LGBTQ youth from the traditional bathroom setting but that’s the only situation directly affected. Unfortunately, if others want to bully and harass them they’re going to fi nd a way, whether it be in the halls, on teams, outside of school or online. Without increased attention on ad-vocacy to counter a divi-sion between the groups a lack of communications and perceived commonal-ities could create turf is-sues and an even greater “us versus them” mental-ity.

A documentary called For Want of a Home, telling the story of transgender Edmonton youth who’ve experienced homeless-ness, is part of SAFQEY’s campaign. According to the documentary, 25 to 40 per cent of homeless youth in North America are LGBTQ and of that group 60 per cent attempt suicide. “FTMs (female to male) expressed fears of violence when staying in men’s shelters and fears their male identity and personal dignity would be judged and ridiculed in women’s shelters,” — Denomme-Welch, Pyne and Scanlon, states For Want of a Home. During the fi lm one FTM youth stated going to the bath-room, how they’d be treat-ed and which one to use were consistent concerns. Another chose couch-surf-ing and staying in over-crowded or illegal suites over going to a shelter because of concerns for safety.

While the need for facili-ties such as gender neutral washrooms and separate shelters is heartrending-

ly real, such actions do not come without their own issues and concerns. Whatever efforts put into projects such as those need to be exponentially increased in terms of ad-vocacy efforts and chang-ing the social collective. Without the primary ef-forts to shift the popu-lation’s mentality to the fact the LGBTQ commu-nity has the right to equal treatment as human be-ings and that who they are doesn’t make them less of a person or someone to shame, a long-term divi-sion will breed even more ignorance, unfamiliarity and misunderstanding.

Despite the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s that quickly to mind under the term seg-regation, and of course the segregated ghettos used during the Second World War, such as in the Polish capital Warsaw, Canada is not blameless when it comes to segregation ef-forts and our people are as susceptible to discrim-ination as the rest of the world. While not everyone now or in the future is going to negatively view LGBTQ people there are, unfortunately, those that already do and some are dominated by the crowd mentality.

Tamara Avant, psy-chology program direc-tor at South University Savannah, suggests when people are part of a crowd they can experience charged emotional excite-ment as well as deindivid-uation, causing them to be less likely to follow normal restraints and inhibitions. Avant adds the size of the mob and anonymity lend themselves to escalat-ed violence because peo-ple believe they’re able to transfer responsibility to the group and off them-selves.

Time and time again throughout history hu-

manity has shown in-stincts will lead a more dominant group to unifi ed oppression of a scapegoat. In times of strife or eco-nomic downturn people become unreasonable and absurd in a self-justifi ed act of preservation. The atrocious amount of crime across the province right now highlights that.

Inevitable future reces-sions will cause the same human behaviors and without a shift in the so-cial collective it’s going to leave projects such as shel-ters for homeless LGBTQ youth as a target for rage due to the funds and other resources needed to sus-tain them, from a majority that never evolved.

Using a state of segre-gation too long will also cause people to become comfortable with the di-vision as a norm; deseg-regation is not without it’s own problems. History has shown disobedience, contempt, bullying, van-dalism, assault and other forms of systematic vio-lence arise when what’s become common and comfortable are taken away and divided groups are mashed back together.

At the forefront, safe-ty, stability and support needs have to be met but long-term there must be a much greater emphasis taken by all levels of soci-ety toward advocacy. Just as other forms of intoler-ance are still prevalent in today’s society it is unrea-sonable to expect everyone everywhere will become accepting. But when a ma-jority can open their hearts and minds to what’s right then we as a society can fi nally progress past reac-tive, gatekeeping actions such as special washrooms and shelters.

RCMP say ‘tax scam’ getting worse in AlbertaThe RCMP from Ottawa are concerned

about the infamous “tax scam” fraud circulating in Alberta and are calling attention to the problem.

“The Alberta RCMP continues to re-ceive reports of Albertans being tar-geted by this scam and would appre-ciate the media’s help in raising public awareness on this issue in communities throughout the province,” stated a press release from RCMP HQ in Ottawa dated Feb. 11.

“Anyone who believes they may have been victimized by this scam or who has given out personal or fi nancial in-formation in error, is advised to contact their local police service and their fi -nancial institution.

“The RCMP and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) are warning Canadians about an ongoing scam in which tax-payers across the country receive phone calls or emails from individuals imper-sonating CRA employees. These people

are scammers.“The scammers tell taxpayers that

they either owe money to the CRA or have a tax refund. Taxpayers are threat-ened with arrest or jail time if they do not take immediate action and provide money or personal or fi nancial infor-mation.

The federal minister responsible for CRA also commented. “The CRA takes these matters very seriously and provides substantial information to Canadians about how to protect them-selves from scams undertaken using the CRA’s name. Informing yourself is particularly important during the tax fi ling season, when such scams peak,” said the Honourable Diane Lebouthillier, Minister of National Revenue. This in-formation, including examples of real

scam telephone calls and e-mails, can be easily found on the CRA web site.

“Scammers are always looking for new ways to get your money or your personal information,” warns Assistant Commissioner Todd Shean, who leads the RCMP’s Federal Policing Special Services. “The RCMP works every day to track down fraudsters and bring them to justice, but raising awareness about fraud is also important as it is one of the most effective ways of protecting Canadians from scammers. The more you know about a specifi c fraud, the less likely you’ll be a victim of that fraud.”

“The RCMP plays a crucial role in educating the public about scams, and has a number of programs in place to track fraud, including one run by the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC),”

stated the press release. “The CAFC monitors all types of scams, and warns Canadians to be on the lookout for scammers during the upcoming tax season. The RCMP also works closely with the CRA to raise awareness about tax-related scams.

“When CRA employees call taxpayers, they follow established procedures to ensure personal information is protect-ed. To confi rm the authenticity of a call, contact the CRA by using its offi cial tele-phone number for individual tax enqui-ries: 1-800-959-8281. You can also verify your individual tax account through a secure CRA portal: My Account.

Pipestone Flyer readers should re-member the federal government will never threaten to send police to arrest you over an unpaid tax bill, especially over the phone.

The RCMP note if you believe you may be the victim of fraud or have given personal or fi nancial information in error, contact your local police service (Wetaskiwin or Leduc) and your fi nan-cial institution.

Break and enter front and centre

Some readers may think the crime prevalent in the region is related to the oil patch downturn. Regardless, most communities in this area are more aware than ever of property crime.

Recently, several RCMP detachments across Alberta have shone a light on increased workload and voiced con-cern about what appears to be a crime spike. Police and service providers in the Wetaskiwin area feel they are seeing the same thing.

Petra Pfeiffer, executive director of Wetaskiwin and District Victim Services, said the organization is seeing the results of break and enter and other crime. “Of course we are,” she said Feb. 10 at the Wetaskiwin RCMP detachment.

Cst. M. Johnson, a member of the Wetaskiwin RCMP detachment, stated that break and enter can be even more frustrating because some people and places seem to be targeted over and over again by criminals.

Cst. Johnson noted that break and enter can include local perpetrators, while some are professional criminals who may be connected to the illegal

drug world and also have connections to weapons.

Crime preventionPfeiffer noted that crime-proofi ng a

home isn’t necessarily that diffi cult or that expensive. Both she and Cst. Johnson had a number of suggestions for local readers.

Pfeiffer noted many hardware retailers sell home security equipment that isn’t prohibitively expensive. Most can be eas-ily installed. Some suggestions include noisemakers and alarms, which for the cost can be very effective, along with motion-sensing lights; Johnson noted burglars tend not to like bright lights or noise.

Windows are always an attractive entry point for burglars; reinforce them with rods where windows slide back and forth to prevent opening. Also, window tint is available which prevents anyone outside looking in.

Cameras are always useful, especially if a burglar is caught and prosecuted as the video or photos are solid evidence. Johnson noted trail cameras, that snap photos based on subject motion, are also popular.

Serious security systems that usually involve a monthly fee are also available.

If you leave cash, credit cards, smartphones and wallets in plain sight in your vehicle, you may be courting trouble. Keep your vehicle locked and put all valuables out of sight.


Pfeiffer suggested neighbours get to know and look out for each other; when neighbours know who belongs where, a burglar or strange vehicle is going to stick out like a sore thumb. For those who have the means, a guard dog is a great idea.

When it comes to vehicle break-ins, Johnson said in her experience simply locking the vehicle and keeping valuables out of sight are the best strategies as burglars try the doors, fi nd them locked then move on. “Don’t leave your keys in your car,” said Johnson. “I’ve seen very few broken doors.” She said if you keep valuables out of plain sight, it gives the burglar no reason to break in.

Pfeiffer agreed. “Locking your doors, that’s so important,” said Pfeiffer. “Both your homes and your vehicles.”

After the break and enterPfeiffer said victim services knows and

understands the aftermath of a break and enter, as she’s seen the victims on past occasions. “Your house is usually your safe place,” said Pfeiffer. She noted it’s normal for victims of break and enter to have anxiety afterwards.

The extra security options mentioned above could help ease anxiety she noted.

Another suggestion is to have some extra family or friends stay over for a while.

Cst. Johnson noted that if a victim is having trouble bouncing back from a break and enter, they could fi nd relief by talking to a professional therapist.

Avoid “posse” mentalityIt’s inferred on some communi-

ty Facebook pages that if residents see someone suspicious, they may confront the suspect, perhaps violently. It’s under-standable that people are frustrated with property crime.

Cst. Johnson said when residents of the area see or hear something suspicious, they should call police. “Do not engage the person, some can be under the infl u-ence, some can have access to weapons,” said Cst. Johnson.

The RCMP offi cer said the best and most useful thing a resident can do is be a good witness for RCMP. The most help-ful things they can do is write down li-cense plate numbers and get an accurate description of both suspects and their vehicles including things like tattoos on people and markings on vehicles. If pos-sible, take photos of suspects if it’s safe to do so.

Wetaskiwin county council tables wetland setback decision

Wetaskiwin County council has decided to table further discussion and decisions regarding wetlands, lakes, and setbacks for confi ned feeding operations (CFOs) until March 10, following a public hearing on Feb. 11.

“We can discuss the options but I”m not prepared to make a decision today,” said Coun. Lyle Seely.

Many representatives from various aspects of the public sector attended the public hearing to relay to councillors how amending the county’s Municipal Development Plan (MDP) would affect them; some are looking for council to increase or at least maintain the current setbacks while others want them decreased.

“CFOs are a more intensive form of agriculture,” said development offi cer Jarvis Grant.

He says a main concern of CFOs tend to be their en-vironmental impact. “Livestock manure can contain a variety of potential contaminants.”

Susan Ellis, president of the Pigeon Lake Watershed Association, was the fi rst from the gallery to take to the podium. She urged council to take into account all the other legislation regarding the issues at hand while making it’s decisions.

“I understand council, you don’t have a regional plan for your area,” said Ellis.

Other legislation that deal with wetland and water protection, setbacks and farming regulations include the Water Act, Alberta Public Lands Act, Agriculture Operations Practices Act and the Natural Resources

Conservation Board.“Wetlands are very complex,” said Ellis.She told council 70 per cent of wetlands in Alberta

have already been lost, a statistic echoed by others during the public hearing. “We cannot afford to lose anymore.”

“We recommend your council simply reference these acts in you MDP,” she added.

Jay White, with Aquality Environmental Consulting out of Edmonton, told council we was looking at the idea of amending the MDP with interest.

“We already have a wetland policy, we already have a Water Act. All wetlands are protected under the Water Act. Period,” said White.

“Wetlands are not currently defi ned in our MDP,” said assistant CAO Rod Hawken during the public hearing.

White said the Alberta Public Lands Act prohibits anyone, even on land they own, from disturbing ground in a manner that would result in injuring the beds or shores of permanent wetlands.

Stefan Kaiser was one of several farmers from the region who displayed a displeasure at the thought of setbacks being increased.

On the whole, those involved in agriculture opera-tions had many of the same concerns over the issues.

Concerns included setbacks negatively affecting operations and inhibiting them from expanding; how farmers can be demonized when they too want and need healthy, sustainable water in the area to thrive; increased setbacks and restrictive areas increasing the diffi culty on what is already hard to make a liv-


ing from, farming; discouraging younger generations from getting into farming, and the fact that the leg-islation already in place to protect the environment and create a balance between it and CFOs will not be taken into account.

“It’s a bit disheartening .. . I just fi nd it sad. Wetaskiwin has been a county that’s thrived on agriculture,” said Kaiser. “We can’t forget that Wetaskiwin was built of wheat and cattle.”

Leduc retenders downtown

improvement project

For the second time in as many years the Leduc city council has sent out ten-der packages for the fi rst phase of it’s downtown im-provement project.

Mayor Greg Krischke says the project went for tender late last year but council was not satisfi ed with what came back. “We looked at the package and said ‘no, it’s too expensive’.”

Krischke says it was too late in the year and most companies already had contracts in place.

The need for improve-ments and a revitaliza-tion of the downtown was identifi ed in the city’s 2012 Downtown Master Plan.

“Once we had the actual master plan … we con-tracted a group to do a detailed concept and then prepare tender docu-ments,” said Krischke.

The original master plan was to include four blocks south of Main Street and another two north of it in phase 1. Krischke says at council’s Feb. 8 meeting was was refi ned to just 50th Avenue.

In an earlier plan, 47th Street west to 50th Street was going to be done sep-arately than the remaining portion from 50th Street to Highway 2. Now the two sections are both included in phase 1.

Council had put $2.2 million aside for phase 1 and $1.3 million for phase


2. Now, with the two sec-tions combined the total amount for the tender package is $3.4 million, which was already budget-ed and will not impact tax-payers. “We’re hoping that it will come back cheaper than that,” said Krischke.

“Companies are more hungry this year,” he added.

Krischke says in the fu-ture, as more money be-comes available the city can look to expanding the project north and south of 50th Avenue.

The downtown improve-ment project is meant to increase the attractive-ness of Leduc’s downtown, increase safety, become more pedestrian-friend-ly, essentially becoming a more well-connected, vi-brant destination.

WHY DO AN ENVIRONMENTAL FARM PLAN (EFP)?

Do you have an EFP workbook on your shelf that’s half fi nished? Is it time to revisit and update your EFP or start one for the fi rst time?

• Sustain production• Manage risks

• Provide a healthy landscape for the next generation• Maintain market access

Please contact Kim @ 780-387-6182, your County’s Sustainable Ag Coordinator, she’s ready to help! Information contained in the workbook is only shared between the farmer and the EFP Tech. An EFP is relevant to all sizes and types of primary producers.An EFP is required to apply for On-Farm Stewardship Program funds under Growing Forward 2.

“Let’s protect the environment but let’s not restrict the lifeblood of the community,” he added.

Kaiser says there are many practices now in place that allow farmers to farm cleaner in ways that will help protect the environment. “It’s very costly but we’re willing to pay that cost.”

He feels the Natural Resources Conservation Board is already restrictive enough and ensures the safety measures needed. “We’re doing so much to protect the environment and we want sustainable farming.”

Before the public hearing was even underway one member of the audience, Kim Taylor, stood and asked

if Coun. Keith Johnson would recuse himself, as she believed he had a personal interest in the matter.

When Johnson questioned her request she said she felt Johnson’s interest in a hog barn meant he should recuse himself.

“I considered putting up a hog barn, but that was three years ago,” said Johnson. “I will remain on.”

Branch 86 is 86On February 27, 2016, Wetaskiwin Legion Branch 86 turns 86

The Wetaskiwin Royal Canadian Legion invites the community to come out and celebrate. The cel-ebration begins at 3 p.m. with an offi cial colour party, pipers and birthday cake. The dance music starts at 5 p.m. The kitch-en will be open with a special events menu.

The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 86 be-came part of Wetaskiwin in 1930. Initially a group of WW1 veterans met at the military armory in the lower level of that build-ing until a Legion build-ing was constructed after WW2. That building was on the spot where cur-rently the Wetaskiwin Memorial Arts Centre is located. In 1995 the cur-rent Legion building, a Wetaskiwin landmark, was built.

The Legion is an organi-

SUBMITTED zation for yesterday, today and tomorrow, it takes pride in the past and has faith in the future.

Originally the Royal Canadian Legion was cre-ated as an organization to serve veterans, which includes military and RCMP members, and their families to promote re-membrance and to serve communities and our country. It is non-prof-it and dues-supported; as well the Legion per-

petuates the tradition of Remembrance in Canada.

In the past only vet-erans and their fami-lies could belong to the Legion, however that has changed and today mem-bership is open to anyone who is a Canadian citizen, Commonwealth subject or subject from an allied nation.

The Wetaskiwin Legion supports the community in noticeable and unseen ways. The most visible is

the annual Remembrance Day ceremony and the Poppy campaign; “Lest we forget”. The Legion also supports programs for se-niors, as well as sponsors local youths with scholar-

ships and bursaries, do-nates to sports programs and supports activities such as scouts, cadets and guides. Daily, the Legion currently opens the doors to the public from 10 a.m.

to 2 p.m. to serve lunch.Again the Royal

Canadian Legion Wetaskiwin Branch 86 invites everyone to cele-brate our 86th anniversa-ry on the 27th of February.
