County asks for wetland directive

By Murray Green

Camrose County contacted the Minister of Environment, the Premier and local MLAs to request a meeting to discuss the Wetland Restoration Compensation Directive on June 28.

The Alberta Water Act requires that a municipality either replace or provide compensation for any impact on a wetland area if a development, like a road, cannot be constructed without impacting a wetland.

“Our objection is that municipal funds are going to a private organization,” said Reeve Don Gregorwich.

“Secondly, Ducks Unlimited pools its funds to go all across Alberta.

Council believes any funds collected as compensation should stay within the municipality that is affected. The funds should help wetlands within Camrose County,” he stated, on behalf of council.

According to Alberta Environment, compensation requires applicants to pay into a fund established for wetland restoration work. This applies to all municipalities, both rural and urban across Alberta.

Replacement of wetlands is required to align with the Wetland Restoration Compensation Directive, a document the Alberta Government has repeatedly promised to release over many years, but is still not available.

This leaves the only option as compensation to Ducks Unlimited, the only provincially approved Wetland agent.

In the past, to address the lack of wetland restoration directive, Camrose County has been permitted to hold the Restoration Funds in a reserve account, while waiting for the directive.

Camrose County established this Wetland Restoration Reserve in 2009 and has paid the required amount into this fund whenever County road rehabilitation projects impact adjoining wetlands.

However, the County has now been notified that no wetland permits will be issued for road construction unless a payment is made to a qualified wetland restoration agency.

Currently, and for at least the last 12 years, the only

Wild Rose Co-op approved Wetland Restoration Agent in Alberta is Ducks Unlimited.

Camrose County council strongly believes that a forced payment of ratepayer tax dollars to any single private organization is a travesty and is wrong.

Camrose County Road Infrastructure is critical for the safety and livelihood of the residents of Camrose County. It is imperative that the provincial government allow construction to continue.

The proposed rehabilitation of Township Road 480 is now on hold indefinitely, as the options offered by Alberta Envi-

ronment are “pay Ducks Unlimited, or wait for the directive to be released.”

Camrose County council does not support a provincial mandate to provide public funds to a single private organization.

Camrose County is committed to the restoration of wetlands areas within the County, and to the rehabilitation of rural road infrastructure.

County council urges the province to appoint alternative wetland agents or allow funds to be held in a reserve pending the directive.

Precision and horsemanship of Mounted Shooting something she needed to knock off her bucket list.

“I signed up for a clinic and Tyler came along to ask a bunch of safety questions about the gun stuff,” said Jill. “He (Tyler) was just going to watch me do the clinic then the next thing we knew he is doing the clinic (using Jill’s horse to boot.)

The benefits for working an AMSA event are two-fold. The non-profit organization will be paid by the AMSA and the workers (youth) are given an opportunity to work around a dedicated and friendly group of people and unbelievably trained horses.

As for the horses, they are highly trained, strong, agile stock that love what

It takes strength, precision, focus and agility to shoot a six shooter at a target off the back of a running horse, not too mention nerves of steal.

Now, factor in a set out circuit and a timed event a nd you have Cowboy Mounted Shooting, a rapidly g rowing competitive equestr ia n sport.

terns in a horseback riding arena.

“The rider has two single action .45 pistols and, even though the guns hold six ammunition, we only load five because there are five targets for each pistol. You shoot your first five then change guns and shoot your next five on your pattern,” said Sheryl.

The ammunition used by the competitors are .45

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Jill Donaldson from Beaumont rounds one of the barrels with pistol in hand.

Sheryl and Ken Kusk, of Camrose, are two of the founding members of the Mounted Shooting Sport in Canada and Alberta Mounted Shooter Association (AMSA), celebrating its 10th anniversary.

The couple are a perfect fit for the sport. With Ken’s background in shooting, he brought the firearms to the table, and with Sheryl’s passion for horses, she brought the mount.

While Ken paced out the next shooting pattern during a clinic held on June 26, atop a beautiful sorrel quarter horse, Sheryl explained the sport.

The speed timed event involves the rider guiding the horse through a circuit selected out of over 60 pat-

casings blanks filled with black gun powder that do not fire a projectile.

The black gun powder has enough heat to pop the balloons within a safe eightto 20-foot distance. Safety is a priority at all times.

When all 10 targets are shot, the horse and rider return across the timer line, then the score is determined based on raw time with penalties for missed targets or knocked over barrels.

“There are six levels,” continued Sheryl. “Everyone starts at level one and there is a seniors (over the age of 50) group.”

Ken, who turned 75 this year, is a very active senior shooter who began the sport 10 years ago at the spry age of 65.

“It’s what he did for retirement,” laughed Sheryl.

The events are open and free of charge to spectators and Sheryl said everyone is welcome, including families.

Riding in the clinic on the day of the interview were Jill and Tyler Donaldson from just east of Beaumont.

Jill and Tyler began the sport just over a year ago after Jill decided it was

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Tammy Billingsley offers vital instruction as riders complete the patterns during the clinic she presented.

Lori Larsen, Camrose Booster Tyler Donaldson from Beaumont takes close aim at one of the balloon targets while maneuvering his horse around the circuit pattern.

After attending a Jackpot at the Kusks, Jill and Tyler were hooked and have since become close friends with Sheryl and Ken. “We bring our twoand four-year old children here and they run around and play and, if Jill and I are riding, there is always someone who watches them,” commented Tyler.

And now their fouryear-old is getting into the sport by participating in Wranglers and shooting at the balloon targets with cap guns.

The general feeling at these competitions is that of camaraderie and family first.

“Everybody attends, including children, grandparents, even the family dogs,” laughed Tyler.

Encouraging children is part of the mandate, to get them involved and to teach them horsemanship and gun safety as well as the many other skills required to compete.

“Because of the gun laws in Canada, our children have two events,” said Sheryl. “They run the same patterns, but they have to shoot on the ground. They have to be within arms’ reach until they are 18, then they can shoot mounted.”

Sheryl said the association is always looking for local non-profit organizations, preferably youth, to assist with the events.

“We look for balloon setters. Right now, we have the Hay Lakes Riders.”

they do and are treated with kid gloves, including ear protection to muffle the gunshots.

On June 24 and 25, the Kusks hosted a Mounted Shooters clinic, presented by four-time Ladies Level 6 World Champion Tammy Billingsley from Montana, USA. “I really enjoy coming up here,” enthused Tammy.

“The western culture is really strong in Canada. It is a good fit for the mounted shooting.

“Of all the things that I have done in the equestrian world, this is probably the most complicated.

I kind of call it the mutt of the equestrian world because there are so many disciplines required. But it is also the most fun thing that I have ever done.”

Tammy added that the sport has evolved over the last five to 10 years.

“The quality of horse flesh has gotten a lot better and it has become a lot more competitive. As the sport evolves, the education gets better, so people are better educated and better equipped to go out and be more successful.”

In the near future, Sheryl and Ken will be hosting another Mounted Shooting event at their arena, approximately 15 minutes east of Camrose.

Just watching the dirt fly as horse and rider speed down the arena towards the targets, guns a-blazing, is exciting and well worth the quick trip out to see for yourself.

New street lights installed within County

By Murray Green

FortisAlberta has received approval to proceed with LED Streetlight Conversions in Camrose County.

Camrose County has approximately 176 lights converted from HPS to LED technology and construction is expected to be completed by July 13.

The initial application to convert existing streetlights under the LED Streetlight Conversion program was made in April 2016. Another application for an additional 131 communities was made to the AUC and FortisAlberta then received approval to continue.

“This is a huge win for our municipal customers who have been seeking a viable and cost-effective option for their existing streetlights,” said Don Hughes, director, business development with FortisAlberta.

LED technology offers many benefits including reduced energy consumption, resulting in lower costs for customers. The LED technology will use a warmer light, resulting in minimal blue light exposure. The fixtures are dark sky friendly with zero up-light, which means less light pollution and/or sky glow as the light is directed downward. The current high-pressure sodium bulbs produce a light that appears orange; the new

Conservative unity, riding boundaries

By Wes Taylor, MLA Battle River-Wainwright

A constituent called me last week to complain about the cost of living in Alberta. An honest person, they admitted that they had voted for the NDP government, but now regretted that decision. I asked what had motivated them to vote NDP. The reply was they thought the NDP would be the party most likely to reform the AHS. What they had not bargained for was the assault on Albertans ranging from ideological meddling in education and diminishing parental rights, the naked promotion of trade unionism, unwarranted and uniformed interference in agriculture and, an unjustifiable financial punishment for all, the carbon tax.

It was the carbon tax my constituent had greatest issue with. Although a professional person with a relatively well-paying job, they were finding it hard to make ends meet, highlighting increases in their local taxes.

Astute enough to understand the difference between the direct and indirect impacts of the carbon tax, they knew that these tax increases were not inspired by their council, but as an unavoidable reaction by their council to the NDP’s carbon tax.

One aspect we did not discuss was the GST element of the carbon tax. Albertans should be aware that the federal government stands to gain $150 million in GST from AB and BC taxpayers, a tax on a tax.

The flood of cash leaving Alberta will only rise in subsequent years, as the Notley and Trudeau governments work to raise Alberta’s carbon tax from $10/tonne to $50/tonne.

As my constituent stated, none of this was part of the NDP’s platform during the election. They felt betrayed.

Talking elections, recently Brian Jean and Jason Kenney announced the proposed formation of a United Conservative Party. I firmly believe that the Wildrose constitution and its policies are needed to keep Alberta strong. However, I consider that the minor compromises made in this unity agreement, are both reasonable and necessary. I hope my constituent appreciates that the chief motivation behind this proposal is to rescue Alberta from the very destructive and, frankly dishonest, behavior we are experiencing.

I salute both men for putting province before self.

It would be all too easy for either man to want to hold onto the leadership of what are credible parties in their own right. It is rare to see such selfless behavior. I hope everyone would agree that these are men of conviction who are putting Alberta and Albertans first.

A quick word regarding the Interim Report by the Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission. I am disappointed to see the changes being proposed to the Battle River-Wainwright riding. In my submission to the commission, I majored on the need to have ridings of a manageable geographical size. I believe it important that MLAs are able to engage directly with as many constituents as possible.

The extending of the southern boundary to add Stettler, plus the inclusion of Tofield and New Sarepta, while removing the towns of Holden and Ryley, defies logic. The commission has obsessed with ensuring each riding has the ‘average’ population, defined as 47,698 (being the population of Alberta divided by 87 existing ridings). Ironically, my ‘new’ riding would be eight per cent above the provincial average at 50,607.

This sort of “concrete thinking” mirrors that of the NDP government. Embracing a simplistic ‘one size fits all’ concept and imposing it, monolithically, onto groups with disregard for nuance or circumstances or consequences.

This is precisely what my constituent is experiencing and clearly does not approve of. Neither do I. Change can’t come quickly enough, for either of us.

Battle River Power standing strong

By Lori Larsen

Battle River Power Coop (BRPC) held its annual general meeting on June 22 at the Norsemen Inn with 330 people in attendance including special guests, BRPC board of directors and staff and many BRPC members.

The theme for the year was “Standing Strong.”

Chairman’s report

Chairman of the board Dan Astner began the presentation of the chairman’s annual report by explaining the role of the board of directors.

“Each of the directors are power members just like you. They are elected and tasked with governance in the best interest of your co-op. Their role is to serve and protect.

“These individuals bring a wealth of personal professional experience to our board meetings.”

Astner mentioned the other areas the BRPC board represents including solar committee, smart grid committee, Rural Utilities Commission Study, Alberta Utilities Commission application and urban/ rural annexation of REA members.

Astner spoke specifically about the concern of the urban/rural annexation. “This issue is of considerable concern because it erodes not only BRPC’s membership base, but is applicable to all Alberta REAs. “We believe there is no reason to force people to move from being an REA member to merely another big utility customer number until an actual physical change of assets occurs.”

In conclusion, Astner acknowledged the commitment of the BRPC staff and commended the field personnel for restoring power quickly during the year’s storms.

“Standing Strong is more than this year’s AGM theme, it is the philosophy by which we govern and operate your Battle River Power Coop.”

GM report

General manager Colleen Musselman indicated that Standing Strong is reflected in both the BRPC history and future.

In describing Standing Strong, Musselman answered two major questions. Why does the co-op need to provide advocacy (representing members), how and why are they are doing that, and how does serving and protecting the co-op impact the members?

Musselman f irst explained the difference between a co-op and a forprofit organization.

“A co-op is defined by three basic interests,” she said.”Ownership,control and the beneficiary. The member remains the centre of the business, not maxi-

mizing profit. We are balancing the need of profitability with members’ needs and community needs.

Cooperatives still need to operate a safe, reliable and cost effective business.

“You, as the member, are the customer and the shareholder. There is no advantage for us to take a profit from you the customer and give it back to you the shareholder. We focus on a cost efficiency operation.”

Musselman described the impact BRCP has on the communities it serves.

“We employ 50 people from within your community, so they reinvest in your community and care about your community.

“We have given $48,000 in scholarships to members’ children to grow education.”

This year’s recipients of the scholarships were Tristan Eidick (Wetaskiwin), Megan Russnak (Viking), Jaret Marshall (Bruderheim), Marshall Hoy (Fort Saskatchewan) and Timothy Messick (Ohaton).

“Our field staff provides free public safety presentations to schools, EMCs and fire departments across 13 counties.”

Musselman indicated, through coordination with these counties, BRPC was currently able to save $13.43 million.

The board of BRPC made a policy to buy within the communities they serve first and, if the product or service was not available within the community, then it was purchased in the province.

“Last year within our community, we spent $6.18 million and provincially, an additional $14.3 million. Over the last 12 years, we have reinvested over $53.11 million back to into your community and $179 million more into the province” In addition, Musselman stated, “Again this year, while operating as a cooperative, we were able to leave $5.9 million in members’ hands, savings that would not be realized if they were not members of Battle River Power Coop.

In further describing savings, Musselman indicated from 2007 to 2016, the average member saved $6,864 which equates to $58.2 million.

Results from the survey regarding reliability standards and power restoration showed that BRPC scored 100 per cent on reliability standards.

The results of the Illumina Research comparison in the following areas indicated: ease for customers to reach: 96 per cent, helpful employees: 97 per cent, courteous employees: 99 per cent, satisfactory service: 96 per cent, reliable electricity: 94 per cent (down from 97 in 2014), good reputation in community: 89 per cent, members support local/provincial investment: 89 per cent.

In speaking about the decrease in the reliability number, Musselman stated the inclement weather had an overall impact on the number of people with outages, with a comparison of 7,888 from the previous year compared to last year of 11,944, a 34 per cent increase over the year before.

Response performance monitoring, from when the lineman gets the call to restoration of power, for 2012 to 2016, averages were: 1.45, 1.39, 1.77, 1.48 hours, with consideration given to the distance between customers.

“Our goal is to ensure that all BRPC members receive the same timely response, even those at the end of an integrated section of line that may not be owned by BRPC.” Financial report

Michelle Miller of MNP, LLP presented the financial statement for BRPC REA year ending March 31.

The total revenue was $21,353,652, cost of sales was $13,663,402, expenses $5,403,620, amortization $1,434,569, other $65,359, resulting in a net of $917,420.

Camrose County supports libraries Camrose County provides annual funding to the Bashaw Municipal Library, David Knipe Memorial Library in Bawlf, Hay Lakes Municipal Library, Edberg Public Library and Camrose Public Library.

The Bashaw Municipal Library was established in the 1940s and joined the Parkland Regional Library in 1986. In the fall of 2008, the library moved out of its home temporarily, as the Community Centre underwent extensive renovations, and the books were packed away. The library operated a kiosk where patrons could pick up requests. In early 2009, another move resulted in the storage of the books in a sea container as renovations continued. By September 2009, the library started to settle into its

expanded, bright renovated home.

The library now boasts six public computers, ample shelving room, and a welcoming area where patrons can sit and enjoy their reading. The library continues to be a very busy and vibrant centre of the community.

The David Knipe Memorial Library is a warm, friendly gathering place where residents can access a vast array of ideas, knowledge and information, while pursuing lifelong learning, the joy of reading and community spirit. The library provides an experience shaped by imagination and possibility, celebrates lifelong learning, the joy of reading and community spirit, preserves the past and inspires future successes, while enriching the cultural, educational

and economic well-being of the community.

The Hay Lakes Municipal Library fosters lifelong learning while enhancing the vitality of the community. It provides the community with equitable access to library materials and services that stimulate and meet residents’ needs for information, education, culture, entertainment, and access to the World Wide Web. A library card entitles visitors to borrow books, DVDs, music and more. It also provides access to a wide selection of eContent including newspapers, magazines, movies, music, books and more.

The Edberg Municipal Library is dedicated to the educational, recreational and cultural enlightenment of all members of the community it serves.

Consider a grain broker

By Agri-News

Numerous cash grain brokers have become established across the Canadian prairies. Could using the services of a cash grain broker be part of your marketing plan?

“By definition, a broker is a matching agent who arranges a transaction between a buyer and a seller, and for that service, is paid a commission,” said Neil Blue, provincial crop market analyst, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

“The seller typically pays a commission, but some brokers may charge commission to both the seller and buyer.”

A cash grain broker acts as a matching agent between a seller and a buyer of physical grain.

As a broker, they do not take legal or physical possession of the crop being brokered, but arrange for the deal to proceed upon agreement of the terms of the transaction by both parties. The broker may arrange for the trucking, or the buyer or seller may have the trucking capacity to handle that aspect.

Unlike a grain dealer, a cash grain broker does not take legal possession of the crop and therefore does not need to be licensed with the Canadian Grain Com-

mission (CGC), although some brokers may elect to do so. If licensed with the CGC, the broker will need to post a bond or irrevocable letter of credit from a bank to serve as security for outstanding payables.

To find out whether or not a firm is licensed, contact the CGC by phone or go to their web page.

Cash grain brokers often deal with buyers who aren’t licensed. Under current rules, end users of grain need not be licensed with the Canadian Grain Commission. Crop producer protection has been under review in recent years and is subject to change.

End users obviously include cattle, hog and poultry feeding operations. The cash grain broker attempts to deal with buyers who they believe will stand for payment of the delivered grain, but there is always a chance of a full or partial payment default. In such a case, the cash grain broker will try to help recover the funds.

At least one cash grain broker, said Blue, in a case of payment default, covered the outstanding payments for their brokered grain sales from their own resources.

“If there is a higher

default risk in using a cash grain broker compared to a large licensed grain company, why would one do so?

The answer is usually for a higher net price. A cash grain broker can often get a producer a higher price for grain than the producers could arrange on their own,” he explained.

“Brokers can often do so by arranging to meet a buyer’s needs for volume purchases. Also, a cash grain broker may be able to find higher-priced markets that the producer may not have the time or knowledge to seek out.

Often the deal is made ‘picked up from the farm’ with direct delivery to the buyer’s facility. Typically, an intermediary buyer is not involved and that saves handling costs, potentially benefitting both the buyer and seller.

“In a year where many producers have lower quality or ‘tough’ crops to market, a cash grain broker may be able to find a buyer that is willing to purchase grain with specs that prevent that grain from entering traditional market channels. A crop marketing contact list, that includes some cash grain brokers, is available on request by e-mail.”

County supports libraries Continued from page 7

The Edberg library is governed by trustees appointed by the Village of Edberg.

Library board meetings are open to the public.

In November 1919, The Town of Camrose provided a grant and use of the old town office, located on the site of the current post office, to house the first library. A community shower brought in 700 books and raised $26. The membership fee was $1. A year later, the membership was 171 and the daily circulation was 40

books a day. In 1942, the membership had grown to 219 and the annual circulation was 13,573.

In 1954, the library was closed temporarily to make way for the construction of the current-day post office building. The library relocated to Main Street where it remained until 1981. The current library opened its doors to the public on Feb. 2, 1981.

Popular services include eAudiobooks, eBooks, eLearning, eMovies, eMusic, eNewspapers and eMagazines.

Problems with Liberal’s Infrastructure Bank

By Kevin Sorenson, MP Battle River-Crowfoot

The Liberal government’s 2017 Budget includes their plan to transform the way that the biggest and riskiest infrastructure projects in Canada are funded by creating a $35-billion Infrastructure Bank. The almost 300-page budget has been labelled “omnibus”, even though the Liberals promised never to table such a large piece of legislation.

Many have been calling for the Liberals to ‘sever’ the infrastructure bank section from their budget. However, the Liberals refuse, using their majority to pass their budget through the House of Commons. The Senate of Canada is expressing hesitation and may demand more study on the creation of the bank before they pass the budget. The Senate may want to separate the bank from the budget.

One of the biggest problems with the proposed infrastructure bank is that for any project it funds, taxpayers foot the bill for losses and investors are guaranteed profits. The rationale the Liberals are pushing is that this is the only way some of the riskiest infrastructure projects can be built. Many projects have not gone forward over the past decades because they are too large or the risks are too high. Seeking stable returns, investors are not coming forward for such projects.

This is typical of Liberal policy. On the election campaign trail, the Liberals out-promised their competitors saying they will do ‘everything’ and ‘anything’. For example, they said they will legalize marijuana, despite the risks to Canada’s streets and highways and numerous other health, safety and social issues. They said they would plunge the nation into debt “and balance the books in three years” to pay off their funding of ‘anything’ and ‘everything’. They are now insisting on building the riskiest infrastructure projects by eliminating risks for investors and putting all the risk on you, the taxpayer.

The Liberals have no choice but to force the taxpayer to “underwrite” risky infrastructure projects. There is no other way for the Liberals “to have their cake and eat it, too.”

Nations do not plunge into tens of billions of dollars of debt without a national crisis or other reason.

The Liberals promised to do this in order to get elected, whether or not there would be significant job creation or economic growth.

Investors are happy to have risks eliminated and guaranteed profits under this scheme. Some voters will be happy to see projects going forward that Canada could not otherwise have afforded without stable economic growth, near full-employment statistics and high levels of exports. Liberal elites will ensure their friends get these infrastructure contracts.

The Senate is having some real problems “underwriting” the Liberal’s new bank. Taxpayers can only hope that enough voters in the next election will want to shut down the Liberal’s bank and get Canada back to the real work of building our nation, reducing debt, lowering taxes, providing economic growth and creating real jobs for Canadians.

Keep kids safe on the farm

New!

VANGUARD SERIES (Self-Contained Homes)

By Alberta Health Services

Many children live on or visit farms and rural areas, especially during the summer months. It’s important that we all work together to help keep our children safe.

It is important to remember that children in rural areas are at risk for different types of injuries because of machinery, farm animals, open bodies of water and farm chores.

Children can get hurt because they don’t sense danger or know to stay away from hazards. As children grow and develop, they get stronger and learn to think things through. Your child should not do any activity that he or she is not physically and developmentally ready for, even if raised on a farm.

Adults can help lower the risk of a child getting hurt by knowing what to expect at different stages of development. By your own actions, show your child the safest way to do things and how to follow safety rules.

To keep your child safe, make sure he or she is always closely supervised, in a safe place and doing age-appropriate activities.

Make sure your child has a safe area to play in with protected boundaries (e.g., fence). Put up barriers to keep your child away from hazards (e.g., swamps, dugouts, septic tanks, wells, lakes, grain bins, sand pits).

Make sure there is good air flow in root cellars to avoid

Keep farm equipment safe and stored in a locked shed. When not in use, make sure machinery always has the parking brake on and take the keys out of the ignition. When operating farm machinery, wear snug-fitting clothing, tie back long hair, and don’t wear a scarf. Don’t drink alcohol or use drugs when operating machinery. Keep your child out of grain wagons and grain storage areas.

Don’t carry passengers on farm equipment (even the back of a pick-up truck).

EARLY SETTLERS

Jane Faught Photo At the recent New Norway sports day parade the Duhamel Historical Society tributed Metis people, who were the first permanent settlers in the area. In the 1870s and 1880s the Dumonts and Laboucanes, who were freighters between Fort Edmonton and Winnipeg, established the first farms in this area. Other Metis families arrived, creating the Laboucane settlement along the Battle River, which boasted a creamery, a lumberyard, RCMP detachment, and hotel. They built the first church in Central Alberta, St. Thomas Catholic Church and established a school in 1890. The settlement was located along the Battle River at the present site of the Duhamel campground on Highway 21, which is operated by the Duhamel Historical Society.

Time for rural re-investment Submitted

Sean Markey doesn’t mince words. “We have been neglecting rural Canada,” he said. “There is no question about it. Despite the vital role of rural places in this country we have ignored rural Canada and run down the capital invested in rural regions by previous generations.”

Markey, an associate professor at the Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, is a co-author on the Canadian Rural Revitalization Foundation’s State of Rural Canada report exploring the current state of rural Canada.

Markey and his colleagues from across Canada identified key trends within each province and territory and came up with a series of recommendations for advancing rural development in this country.

“Despite a number of withdrawals from rural development at both the federal and provincial levels since 2013, rural Canada still matters,” said Lars Hallstrom of the Alberta Centre for Sustainable Rural Communities. “As this report shows, not only are there significant innovations and opportunities in rural communities across the country, but also good reason for collaboration, cooperation and knowledge exchange. From an Albertan standpoint, this report provides an indication of not only where we stand in relation to the other provinces, but the commonalities as well. Alberta has been fortunate (at different times) to be able to invest in rural development, but

those investments are not always as targeted or as effective as might originally have been expected. Like in other provinces, Alberta’s rural communities face a number of challenges, and many are a result of previous decisions. We now need to decide how to move forward.”

“Despite the challenges, the situation is far from bleak,” said Al Lauzon, a professor at the University of Guelph and the president of the Canadian Rural Revitalization Foundation (CRRF) which produced the report. “What we found is that there is tremendous rural resilience, diversity, and vibrancy in rural Canada. Yes, there are problems and challenges, but there are also opportunities and possibilities we need to recognize and support,” he said. “We have work to do, at all levels, if we want a sustainable future for rural Canada in the 21st century.”

The key findings of the report show that rural Canada is facing a mix of demographic, economic, and social challenges including an aging population and a need to provide new development opportunities for younger workers. However, the report also points out that rural Canada has proved itself to be highly innovative in terms of responding to the pressures of low-cost global competitors. With limited resources, but drawing on strong social ties, rural regions and local organizations are models of innovation, doing more with less and achiev-

ing positive impacts for their communities. Environmentally, rural regions are on the front line of such issues as sustainability, food security and balancing resource developments and economic diversification with the social and environmental impacts on their communities.

“There is a lot to learn from rural Canada. We hope that this practical document will be useful to policy-makers who are seeking to better understand and engage with the rural regions and rural people upon which and whom our food, water, resources, energy, recreation, and ecosystem depend,” said Bill Reimer, sociologist at Concordia University, former CRRF president, report reviewer, and lead researcher on a seven-year partnership called Rural Policy Learning Commons – a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council funded international partnership focused on building better rural and northern policy.
