Alberta Culture Days began in 2008 as Alberta Arts Day, a one-day event to recognize the value of Alberta’s arts and cultural communities. Since then, it has expanded into a vibrant, three-day, province-wide celebration that has helped inspire the creation of Culture Days - to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities.

Alberta Culture Days 2015, held September 25 to 27, will continue to encourage all Albertans to experience how culture contributes to a prosperous, vibrant society. As part of the three-day event the Camrose Arts Society will be hosting its 1st Annual

Street Performers’ Festival Saturday, September 26, 11 am to 5 pm

This will be part of the already popular Scarecrow Festival Family Fun Day. Over a dozen street performers will be showcasing their talents on Main Street. Workshops for children and adults, art exhibits, a scavenger hunt, kids’ zone, vendors and a free concert at the Bailey will be some of the exciting activities and events offered for all ages!

For more information on the full schedule of events go to www.camroseartssociety.ca or phone 780-672-9949.

Battle River Community Foundation ambassador Karin Naslund presented a cheque to Donalda and District Museum Society chair Darlene Tantrum and museum manager Kasheen Clauson.

The Battle River Community Foundation has granted $1,000 to the Donalda and District Museum Society.

The grant is awarded from income earned by the Donalda and District Museum Fund. The fund, started in 2008, is designated to support the Donalda and District Museum, which features a collection of lamps.

The Battle River Com-

munity Foundation exists to support projects, such as this, in East Central Alberta which benefit communities and have a positive impact on the future.

Grants from the Battle River Community Foundation are primarily made possible through the generosity of individual donors and organizations which have created endowment funds.

The principal of these endow-

ment funds is kept intact and the income is made available annually to support local projects and organizations in accordance with the wishes of the donors.

Since it was founded in 1995 the Battle River Community Foundation has granted over $2,900,000 to support community programs such as the Donalda and District Museum Society.

County supports REA direction

By Murray Green

Camrose County councillors received an update on the Battle River Rural Electrification Association (BRREA) Sept. 8.

The BRREA had a good year, but its growth has gone into remission because of its inability to bid on contract services for new projects,” said BRREA general manager Colleen Musselman, in her presentation to council.

The BRREA is facing challenges that are at least as difficult as those faced by the pioneers in 1949 who came together to build a network of power lines.

“If we stay the way we are we will survive for a while, but you are going to see rates change in about 10 years and you are going to see your organization change because you are going to have lower revenues and higher costs,” said Musselman.

“The BRREA is continuing to pursue new legislation with the current provincial government that would give

it the exclusive right to serve all new members within its geographic area.

“Right now, we can only provide rural electrification; and that is it. There are so many more opportunities where we could help with rural economic and social issues in our community.

We work with FortisAlberta, but we have a contract to follow that ties us from working on new projects.”

BRREA employs 47 people across 13 counties, who spend time giving back to their communities, does free public safety presentations to fire department and EMS personnel, coordinates projects with counties to manage vegetation and has given out more than $39,000 in scholarships. The BRREA policy for the last 18 years has been to purchase what it needs from the communities it serves.

“Last year we spent $4.9 million in the communities we serve,” said Musselman.

“Where we couldn’t put it back directly into the com-

munity, we put $14.7 million additional into the province.”

BRREA members paid on the average about $924 less for power. The BRREA scored very well against the rest of the industry in terms of overall efficiency.

A survey completed by a Calgary company showed that 95 per cent of respondents felt BRREA employees were helpful and courteous and that 97 per cent of respondents felt that the BRREA has a good reputation in the community.

The Camrose to Drumheller region has the lowest growth at 0.8 per cent and the highest demographics for those 65 plus, which limits employment.

“We try to set up business plans 15 to 20 years in advance. With lower revenue and higher costs, we need to make changes in the next couple of years to stay competitive,” said Musselman.

In response to numerous calls to the Alberta Agriculture and Forestry (AF) Ag-Info Centre about options for alternative use of crops, a new category has been created under hay and pasture listings on the department’s web page.

“Called Standing Annual Crop, the new category gives producers the option to list their crops for alternative uses so they can be salvaged for much needed livestock feed this year,” said Ted Nibourg, farm business management specialist.

“The alternative uses can include grazing, greenfeed or silage. This year’s dry conditions in parts of the province, along with recent hail storms, have resulted in crops either failing to make it to the bin or having such a wide range of maturity that it is virtually impossible to make grade.”

The Standing Annual Crop listing can be found under the General Store heading on AF’s web page and then clicking on Alberta Hay and Pasture Directory.

You can either list your crop using the on-line method by clicking on the Post Listing tab or calling the Ag-Info Centre at 310-FARM (3276).

Be sure to check our guidelines link found on the main Hay, Straw and Pasture Listings page before submitting your post. Resource agents at the Ag-Info Centre can assist you in submitting your listing in the proper format.

“With less farm operations, our growth is very stymied. We need to expand our market share to businesses, rather than just the rural farms.”

Musselman said that everyone has to work together to make changes. That starts with government changes.

“I move that Camrose County send a letter of support of the Battle River REA to the Alberta government in support of amendments to legislation to allow the REAs to serve all new members within their geographic service areas,” said councillor

Jack Lyle. The motion was carried.

“I move that council direct administration to draft a resolution, to be taken to the AAMDC (Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties) to request that the provincial government amend legislation to allow for the REAs to expand services to all new members within their geographic service areas,” said councillor Trevor Miller.

That motion was carried as well.

Council encouraged Musselman to make a presentation to all 13 counties.

County exits from commission

By Murray Green

Camrose County wants out of the Shirley McClellan Regional Water Services Commission.

High yearly financial commitments with little to show in return led to a notice to withdraw from the Shirley McClellan Regional Water Services Commission by the counties of Camrose and Lacombe.

So far Camrose County has invested about $127,347 into the commission in the form of administration and debenture costs to provide water systems to various locations within the SMRWSC, other than Camrose County.

The commission suggested that Camrose County would stay a member until Dec. 31, 2016. By then, Camrose County estimates it will have contributed $263,394 into the SMRWSC. County administrator Paul King informed council that the County pays about $35,000 a year. However, the amount is expected to go up next year. “I move that Camrose County send a letter to the Shirley McClellan Regional Water Services Commission indicating that the terms and conditions for the withdrawal of Camrose County from the SMRWSC are acceptable as

follows: the date of the withdrawal to be effective Dec. 31 (2015); Camrose County will be responsible for payment of the proportionate share of board and manager costs for 2015 and 2016; Camrose County will be responsible for payment of its proportionate share of debenture for 2015 and will have no further obligation for debenture payments; Camrose County will forego any and all claims to equity in the SMRWSC; Camrose County will forego any and all claim to 624,554 cubic meters per year of water allocation; Camrose County will forego any claim or expectation for the SMRWSC to provide water service to the Camrose County; Camrose County will not continue to participate in and hold a seat on the board effective immediately; Camrose County will grant SMRWSC permission to locate waterline infrastructure within county road right of ways as is required by the commission in order to route a water transmission line to provide water service to either, or both the Village of Bawlf and Village of Rosalind,” said councillor Jack Lyle.

The motion was carried.

Camrose County is of the opinion that as a result of its withdrawal the financial bur-

den placed on the SMRWSC to provide the North Shore line to Pelican Point has been eliminated and that contributions are more than adequate compensation for services to date.

Camrose County believes it has no further obligations to provide financial assistance past the final date of Dec. 31, 2015. A report prepared by Robert Jenkins and commissioned by SMRWSC indicates the financial impact on the withdrawal of Camrose County would be minimal.

It was discussed in great detail at the commission since last February. Commission administration spoke on its perspective of the request to withdraw as it pertains to an interpretation of such a request. The counties of Camrose and Lacombe gave a brief on their reasons for wishing to withdraw from the SMRWSC and all members were given the chance to ask questions of administration and of each member municipality.

Commission administration was directed to prepare a brief on financial implications and legal perspectives of the request to withdraw. This was sent out to all members and brought to the agenda on April 22 for further discussion and direction of the board.
