SEASON’S GREETINGS FROM MAYOR JAMES
This past year in Killam has
been busy & exci�ng, with
many milestones & achieve-
ments in our community.
Congratula�ons to the family
of Dr. Peter Voloshin, the fami-
ly of Albert Edward Fee, Lois
Prichard, and Geraldine Link for
their nomina�on to the Killam
Hall of Fame this spring. I am
always inspired a+er hearing
the stories of these ci�zens,
both contemporary and histori-
cal. There are many people
that have played a significant
role in shaping Killam over the
past 100 + years, and we can all
learn something from their sto-
ries. Look for news of this
year’s nominees in the next
few months, and plan to a2end
the Awards Banquet.
As well, congratula�ons to the
award winners of the Flagstaff
Small Business Awards held in
October, par�cularly those
with a Killam connec�on – Wild
Rose Co-op for Community
Spirit, and The Community
Press (BRAED Succeeding Long
Standing Business Award). We
are proud of our business com-
munity, and are pleased to see
them get the recogni�on they
deserve.
Most of you are aware that Al-
berta’s Municipali�es went
through an elec�on this past
fall. In Killam we had an elec-
�on for Council and have four
returning Councillors – Clr. Dar-
cy Eskra, Clr. Diane Gordon, Clr.
Brenda McDermo2, and Clr.
Rick Krys – as well as 2 new fac-
es – Clr. Carol Kinzer and Clr.
Brenda Grove.
Carol was born & raised in the
area, and has called Killam
home for many years. Some of
Carol’s children have chosen
our area to raise their own
family, so Carol gets to spend
lots of �me with her grandchil-
dren.
Brenda was also raised in this
area, and her family has lived
in Killam for the last few years.
Brenda’s children are a2ending
school here and the Grove fam-
ily has been very involved in
the community.
Welcome to Brenda & Carol,
and welcome back to the rest
of Council. I know this group
will provide great leadership

HAPPY HOLIDAYS KILLAM PAGE 2
Mayors Message Cont’d
for all of us in Killam, and I look
forward to working with each of
you over the next four years. As
you might imagine, we have all
been very busy in the last several
weeks reorganizing ourselves
and ge?ng up to speed on vari-
ous projects and issues; there is
much to be done as we move
forward, and I am encouraged
by the dedica�on of this group.
Provincially the change in faces
on Municipal Councils is just
over 50%; similarly some of
our neighboring communi�es
have seen significant change.
Killam Council realizes the im-
portance of having a good
working rela�onship with our
neighbors, and we will be
ge?ng acquainted with the
various Council members
around the Flagstaff communi-
ty in the next few weeks.
Development con�nues
around town, with new hous-
ing starts as well as commer-
cial development in 2013. To-
tal development permits for
this year were approx. $1.75
Million, and our equalized as-
sessment is just over $85 Million.
This con�nues to be very encour-
aging, as our community needs
sustained growth to remain pros-
perous.
In order to set the stage for con-
�nued growth, Council has spent
�me over the past year develop-
ing a Marke�ng Strategy. This
has included adop�on of a new
logo and tag line, and work has
started to market Killam as a
great place to visit and to live.
Our tag line – “Life Without Com-
promise” - communicates that
you don’t have to compromise
your lifestyle to live in our com-
munity. In addi�on to a reasona-
ble cost of housing and a rela-
�vely safe community, there are
plenty of things to do and be in-
volved in – recrea�on & leisure
ac�vi�es, cultural opportuni�es,
faith based ac�vi�es, shopping,
etc. As we move forward with
this project we will have a job for
you. All of you who call Killam
home are Ambassadors for our
great community, and your task
will be to promote Killam as a
great place to visit or live, in your
travels wherever you go around
the world.
So much of what is great about
Killam is due to our many dedi-
cated volunteers – those of you
who share some of your �me to
make our community a great
place. On behalf of the people of
Killam I would like to thank you
for your willingness to contrib-
ute.
However, we need more people
willing to volunteer their assis-
tance working on a project or
serving on a board. If you are
interested in ge?ng more in-
volved I encourage you to talk
with anyone at the Town Office,
or contact me – I would be
pleased to have a conversa�on
with you & can get you in
touch with a group or groups
who share your interests.
Volunteers are the lifeblood
of our community; just think
of the possibili�es for Killam
if all are willing to help out
just a bit.
I would like to also pass on a
big thank you to the Town of
Killam Administra�on, Public
Works, and Community Ser-
vices folks, who work diligent-
ly to make Killam a great
place. There is much work
done by this group that is not
in the public eye, to the bene-
fit of each of us. CAO Kim
Borgel and her team consist-
ently provide good value to
our ci�zens.
We are heading into the final
days of 2013 with everyone busy
ge?ng ready for the Christmas
break and a visit from Santa.
Make sure you take some �me
during this busy season to enjoy
the company of family & friends,
and to reflect on the many bless-
ings we enjoy in our community.
On behalf of my colleagues on
Town Council, I want to wish you
all a Merry Christmas, and the
very best for the New Year.
Sincerely,
Bud James
Mayor
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM CAO KIM BORGEL Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year from the staff at
the Town of Killam!
Wow, it is difficult to believe
that 2013 is nearing an end
and 2014 is only a few short
weeks away! The Town of
Killam has had another busy
year working on projects
which have made our town an
even more wonderful place to
be!
Administra�on has had the
privilege of working with a
council of 6 members over the
majority of 2013. In October
we held the municipal elec�on
and wished farewell to Coun-
cilor Shawn Slavik. I would like
to take this opportunity to
thank Councilor Slavik on be-
half of the staff for his com-
mitment to the Town of Killam
during his term on Council.
As in every elec�on year, we
have a feeling of new begin-
nings, fresh faces and ideas
around the Council table.
Thank you to our returning
members, Mayor Bud James
and Councilors Brenda McDer-
mo2, Rick Krys and Darcy
Eskra and a big welcome to
new Councilors Carol Kinzer
and Brenda Grove. We the
staff look forward to working
with all of you. I can tell you
that you have very forward
thinking Council who in early
2014, will be holding a 2-day
business planning session to
set their goals, priori�es and
ini�a�ves for the next 4 year
council term. If you see any of
them around town, please
share your ideas with them so
they can bring them to the
table. I am very excited to see
what new ideas they have in
store for us!
In 2013 we have also wel-
comed 2 new staff members
at the Killam Agriplex. Chris-
�ne Kinzer was hired as the
new Agriplex Co-ordinator and
is working hard to bring new
programs and ideas to the
Flagstaff Aqua�c Centre. Evan
McDonald is the new face at
the Killam Memorial Arena.
Evan comes to Killam from
Ontario and is enjoying the
small town feel of Killam. Evan
is also working on bringing
new programs to the facility
and working towards our goal
of increasing arena users. Give
Chris�ne and Evan a call to
see what they can offer for
you!
I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to thank all of the staff
for all of their hard work over
the past year. We have a very
dedicated bunch of people
who are proud to work for the
Town of Killam and to also call
Killam their home.
On behalf of the Town staff, I
wish each and every one of
you and your family a wonder-
ful holiday season!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM CHARLENE JACKSON
The Killam Recreation Team would like to take this time to Thank everyone for this amaz-ing year we have been blessed with. In 2013 we have welcomed some new faces to the team. Christine Kinzer of Killam as our Agriplex Coordinator and Evan McDonald as our Arena Coordinator. Lifeguards Angela Niehaus, Kate Spurill, Lyssa Mossestad, and to our Arena Jason Field and Robert Newby. The amazing staff makes our facility run every single day and we are so grateful for their pride and passion for recreation. We have also seen a major in-crease of users in all depart-ments, Swimming Pool, Base-ball Diamonds, Arena, as well
introduction of many new pro-grams. It’s nice to see people from all over taking in the amazing things Killam has to offer. Our facilities have finished some projects this year as well. Our Ice Plant received some upgrades over the summer and the Zamboni has a new set of blades. The crack in the pool was fixed. And our Aquatic Centre made a transfer to the Red Cross swim program. We tinned 2 more dugouts at the Ball Park. A facility assessment was completed on the Agriplex and Arena and the creation of the Capital Master Plan for Rec-reation in Killam. In 2014 we have a large list of items that will be completed
and new programs coming. We are looking forward to sharing and serving you in 2014. Killam Recreation would also like to take this time to Thank the Volunteers whom run our boards, programs, and complete the huge task of grant applica-tion writing and follow up forms. Your dedication and time is what helps us offer all that Killam has today. Hats off to you all! May your holiday season be filled with Warmth, Joy, and Good Cheer! Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and Wonderful New Year.

2013 Flagstaff Christmas Sharing and Adopt a Family Programs Once again, the Flagstaff Food Bank will be co-ordina�ng the annual Christmas Sharing Program in Flagstaff County. This
tradi�on involves the collec�on and distribu�on of gi+s and food hampers for those less fortunate county residents.
We would appreciate the dona�on of food items and cash between December 2nd and December 13th
(Please be advised
that we can not distribute expired food, and would ask that you check the expiraFon dates on any food donaFons.)
As the “Adopt a Family Program” was such a great success in past years, we will be running this program once again. Any-
one interested in adop�ng a family, please call 780-385-3976 before December 2nd. We ask that you limit your gi+ purchas-
es to approximately $50 per adopted person. Please leave all giXs unwrapped with some gi+ wrap included in your family’s
gi+ bundle. We reserve the right to redistribute any excess purchases to other persons in need. If you decide to give cloth-
ing, be sure to include the “Gi+ Receipt” in case an exchange is necessary by the recipient. Due to allergies, we ask that you
do not include stuffed toys! Gi+s must be delivered to the old Food Town Grocery Store (located at the north end of Main
Street, Killam) no later than December 10th
.
As this is a large-scale project, volunteerism plays a role in the successful comple�on of this project. Groups or anyone inter-
ested in giving a couple hours of their �me to assist us in having another successful year please call the FFCS at 780-385-
3976. This year, volunteer hours will be available each weekday from December 11th
to the 16th
from
10:00 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. and December 17th
from 3 pm to 8 pm. Evening and weekend hours will be arranged as the need and available vol-
unteer help warrants it. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
The old Food Town Grocery Store, located at the north end of Main Street in Killam, will be used for the collec�on and distri-
bu�on of hampers and gi+s this year. Drop-offs can be made December 2nd
to 10th
