Joint operations–great use of resources By Lori Larsen

On Saturday, March 5, a contingent of law enforcement descended upon the Buffalo Lake area during a one-day joint operations checkstop aimed at ensuring public safety, compliance with laws and regulations, and educating the public. Checkstops were set up at a variety of motor vehicle traffic locations covered by members of Bashaw RCMP, Blackfalds RCMP Integrated Traffic Services, Wetaskiwin RCMP Traffic Services, Rocky Mountain House RCMP Traffic Services, and Stettler, Lacombe and Camrose Counties Protective Services, while mobile compliance checks were conducted on the lake itself by Stettler, Wetaskiwin and Camrose Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Services, along with two members of the RCMP. “There were 211 vehicles checked,” reported Bashaw RCMP detachment Corporal Grant Glasier. “Of those, we also conducted 211 Mandatory Alcohol Screening (MAS) checks and all were a pass.” Glasier indicated that there were some lower numbers recorded on the MAS checks, but none that entered into the Immediate Roadside Sanction (IRS) range. One of the main goals of the checkstop was to ensure all Albertans are kept safe by removing any possibility of an impaired operation of a motor vehicle. “Checkstops help improve public safety by getting impaired drivers off the road and showing the

crime deterrence through visibility,” said Glasier. Officers out that day were also taking the opportunity to speak with members of the public and educate them on the importance of laws and regulations. Aside from MAS screening, motor vehicle operators were checked for valid driver’s licences, registrations and insurance. “There were eight Traffic Safety Act tickets issued for the day and about 15 warnings.” While the majority of the citizens were cooperative, Glasier said they did encounter two snowmobilers take off in the other direction just prior to the checkstops. Meanwhile, Fish and Wildlife Enforcement Services members from Stettler, Camrose and Wetaskiwin and a couple members of RCMP detachments took to the lake via snowmobile. “Fish and Wildlife Officers check for a variety of things when conducting compliance checks on members of the public,” explained Stettler Fish and Wildlife District Officer Mike Little. “In most cases, officers are checking to ensure that there is voluntary compliance in the regulated activity that they are partaking in, such as fishing. We check to see if they have a sportfishing licence and that they are not keeping fish of the wrong size or species.” Little added that the FWES officers will check operators of Off Highway Vehicles (OHVs) to ensure they have all the proper

documentation such as insurance and registration. “In most cases, the offence we see most are people consuming liquor in a public place.” The team issued six tickets in contravention of the Gaming and Liquor Act, three fishing without licences tickets, one ticket for too many fishing lines, and one ticket for no registration for a snowmobile.

The officers also issued three written warnings for fishing related offences, one written warning for no registration, and one written warning for a liquorrelated offence. In total, 43 recreational users were checked on the lake. Like any law enforcement agency, the number

one priority is to ensure public safety, but the Fish and Wildlife officers have another very important mandate: to protect our natural resources. “The regulations are important, especially with regards to natural resources-related activities such as fishing and hunting, because without the regulations in place, the resources would be wiped out,” said Little. “The regulations are put in place to ensure a renewable and sustainable harvest for both fish and wildlife so that it can be enjoyed and utilized for generations to come.” Little reminded all recreational users to read a copy of the sportfishing regulations every year so they are familiar with all laws and regulations including any changes that may have occurred, such as limits of fish that can be kept, size restrictions, as well as the open seasons to fish. He also reminded citizens to ensure they purchase and have a valid fishing licence with them. “They expire on March 31 every year.” On a final note, Little said, “Leave the liquor at home. Drinking out on the lake when you come to fish for the day is drinking in public and is illegal.” Joint operations, such as the one conducted on March 5, have proven to be very successful, with each agency bringing their own set of expertise and skills to the table. “Having the ability to work with multiple agencies is a win-win for both

the officers and the public,” noted District Officer Little. “There are occasions when we are working alone and we encounter things that are not our primary mandate. Having members from other agencies there, who know that particular legislation well, will in turn provide a more thorough and precise check.” Little said it also means being able to provide more thorough responses to inquiries from the public in relation to a law that one agency doesn’t deal with regularly. “In addition, it shows just how well the agencies in Alberta work together to serve the public in keeping them safe, as well as ensuring compliance.” Joint operations also provide the members of the different agencies an opportunity to meet, work together and learn the many aspects of all law enforcement duties from one another. “The different agencies all have different areas of expertise,” said Corporal Glasier. “Blackfalds Traffic, for example, knows more about the traffic offences and impaireds than some of us on general duty. Fish and Wildlife know all the rules and regulations when it comes to fishing, and the County Community Peace Officers are great assets to come out and have working with us.” Joint operations also afford the agencies an opportunity to cover larger areas, offer a greater degree of officer safety and efficiency in use of resources. “It helps to build relationships that can be used further down the line,” concluded Corporal Glasier. Upon observing the mechanics of the operations, it appeared as though the vast majority of public being checked were very cooperative and, in fact, appreciative of the fact that these officers were out keeping everyone safe.

Your voice, my service By Damien C. Kurek, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot

In many of the columns I write, I stress the need for good governance and have many reasons for doing so. The most important of which is to emphasize that it is Canadians who control the election of their Members of Parliament. Parliamentarians are elected to convey the concerns of constituents and represent their views on a vast array of issues. This is something that should transcend political affiliation. Our parliamentary system depends on having strong and independent MPs. Yet, for many years, there has been an erosion of this, leading to significant challenges in ensuring there is good governance in Canada. In 2015, to help address this issue, legislation entitled The Reform Act was passed into law. Proposed by Conservative MP Michael Chong, the act dictates every official party is required to hold four votes in their first caucus meeting when parliament begins. These votes decide whether Caucus is given the power in re-admitting or expelling MPs to or from caucus, electing a caucus chair, launching a leadership review, and electing an interim leader. I support these measures, although it is unfortunate it is even needed. At the end of last year, I posted a video that encouraged constituents of Liberal ridings to pressure their MP to vote in favour of The Reform Act. Disappointingly, yet unsurprisingly, all other caucuses voted down implementing these measures, cementing party loyalty at the cost of the constituents they are supposed to serve. The Liberal Party has gone to great lengths to remove and denounce those who speak against Justin Trudeau, no matter the circumstance. Even when individuals have acted honourably as Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott did in the SNC-Lavalin scandal. Throwing others under the bus to cover up his corruption, malfeasance, or otherwise poor judgement and leadership is Trudeau’s M.O., but should be able to be stopped by a caucus that is empowered to do their jobs. Unfortunately, this is not the case in the Liberal Party of today. Grassroots democracy is needed because it gives Canadians a chance to speak up about what happens within our democratic system. Bringing Canadians to the table and having a respectful discussion is integral to the success of Canada. This is something Conservatives understand. As a diverse country, we are going to disagree on many things. Measures such as free votes on issues of conscience and guaranteeing no one is shamed in Parliament for standing up for their constituents plays a massive role in hearing and addressing the concerns of Canadians. Valuing inclusivity and respectful dialogue when discussing contentious issues is the way we are going to unite Canada. As representatives of our respective ridings, MPs are accountable to Canadians for the functioning of the party to which we belong because it impacts the way we address the issues facing Canadians. Conservative legislation such as The Reform Act is a tool that ensures constituents take precedence over party. The bottom line is this: members of parliament, including the Prime Minister, are responsible to Canadians. While some left-wing media outlets report on dissent and the freedom MPs have in the Conservative Party as a bad thing, it speaks to how our system needs to operate. Democracy means sometimes disagreeing but charting a path forward regardless. As the Member of Parliament for Battle River-Crowfoot, I am proud to work for you and to be your voice in Ottawa. If you have any ideas or suggestions how democracy in Canada can be improved, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this column, you are encouraged to write Damien at 4945-50 Street, Camrose, Alberta T4V 1P9, call 780-608-4600, text 403-575-5625, or email damien.kurek@parl.gc.ca.

Grow farm safety culture By Murray Green

AgSafe A lberta unveiled its FARMERS CARE program, which features practical and simple ways to help farmers and ranchers seamlessly integrate safety into their day-to-day lives and build safety cultures within their operations. “We are so pleased to make this first-of-its-kind safety program available to farmers and ranchers,” said AgSafe Alberta chair Erna Ference, from her farm near Black Diamond. “We wanted FARMERS CARE to be a simple way to get a safety journey started, while still having a major impact on the way we think about hazards on the farm.” The name FARMERS CARE is an acronym that represents the 11 most common types of farm incidents–all of which are detailed on AgSafeAB.ca.

The harsh reality in Canada is that farm owner/ operators are the most likely to be seriously injured or die on the farm, followed by their children, and their employees. Unfortunately, the available data shows us that on-farm incidents that result in injury or death are caused by the same factors and conditions, year after year. “Each letter of the FARMERS CARE acronym and its corresponding symbol represent lifesaving opportunities that can be easily incorporated as farm safety values,” added AgSafe Alberta executive director Jody Wacowich. “We developed a program that was easy to use, practical, and accessible across the province as a way to help make safety standard on farming and ranching operations.” The first level of

FARMERS CARE, available on AgSafeAB.ca, starts by guiding users through the process of identifying common agricultural hazards. It then provides practical examples to control the hazards, while introducing basic health and safety concepts along the way. Once completed, farms and ranches can continue with additional AgSafe Alberta certification programs based on the size, scale and number of employees within their operation. AgSafe Alberta is the health and safety association for agricultural producers in our province. As an industry-led organization, AgSafe Alberta works with and supports farms and ranches of all types and sizes in becoming safer places on which to live, work and grow up.

Global Foundation offers information By Murray Green

An information package from the Global Foundation for Global Harmony and Sustainable Development (GF) was delivered to more than 500 property gates. The packages targeted tenants occupying the 15,000 acres in Beaver and Camrose Counties that surround the Foundation’s headquarters, making it the most extensive educational project yet to be undertaken by the organization. These 15,000 acres are significant because they contain the wetlands, common watersheds and wildlife that lie within the UNdesignated Beaver Hills Biosphere, east of Edmonton. The area is flanked by Miquelon Lake Provincial Park and Ministik Lake Game Bird Sanctuary. GF volunteers dropped

off a leaflet from GFoundation, with a prize draw for replying to a few questions. The leaflet includes an online series of interviews with residents, Several visual information leaflets about wetlands, watersheds and biodiversity in their region, produced by the Alberta Riparian Habitat Management Society (better known as Cows and Fish) as well as a card about the Green Acreages Program were delivered. “We want to create a common knowledge base of key issues amongst neighbours who live near us in the UN-designated Beaver Hills Biosphere,” said GFoundation president Winston Gereluk. Gereluk added that the first gate delivery to 8,000 acres in 2020 proved very effective, as it reached out

to GFoundation’s immediate neighbours and strengthened local support for policies and practices that relate to the building of long-term resiliency to climate change and other issues underlying the creation of the Biosphere. “As demonstrated on our website, the Global Foundation engages in environmental and political actions that foster environmental protection through concrete actions, such as tree planting and lobbying,” he said. See the GFoundation website at www.gfoundation.ca/. On June 5 and 6, the GFoundation tree planting days will take place from 1 to 5 p.m., followed by a campfire celebration. Send a message to gf @ gfoundation.ca to confirm your participation.

Province partners internationally to cut emissions By Lori Larsen

The Alberta Government announced that they will be using more than $2 million from the TIER (Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction) fund through Emissions Reduction Alberta (ERA) for four innovative Alberta-based carbon capture, utilization and storage CCUS projects worth about $24 million. Additional investment will come from eight countries through an international partnership with Accelerating CCS Technologies (ACT). ACT is a collaboration of 15 research and innovation funding organizations from 16 countries. Alberta is the first subnational member. “Partnerships and investments like these are critical to helping Alberta leverage invest-

ments in CCUS,” said Alberta minister of Environment and Parks Jason Nixon. “These innovative, world-class technologies will increase the value of our natural resources. These projects build on Alberta’s existing CCUS investments like Shell Quest, the Alberta Carbon Trunk Line and the Alberta Carbon Conversion Technology Centre, making our province a key player in developing solutions and knowledge to share with the world.” Alberta minister of Jobs, Economy and Innovation Doug Schweitzer said that this collaboration will create more opportunities, more jobs and more expertise in Alberta’s booming tech sector. Once again, Alberta is positioned to be an innovation leader. Projects include capturing and converting

carbon dioxide and waste heat from a cement plant into substances that can be used in the building and transportation sectors, and using depleted oil and gas reservoirs as safe and cost-effective long-term storage sites for carbon dioxide. CCUS technology can capture, use and store up to 90 per cent of car-

bon dioxide emissions produced from the use of fossil fuels in industrial activities, preventing those emissions from entering the atmosphere. “ Within A lber ta, CCUS is an important component of a portfolio of technologies needed to achieve our climate and energy development goals,” explained R.J.

Chalaturnyk, professor of geotechnical engineering, University of Alberta. “This support will allow us to establish an assessment tool to support the development of fit-for-purpose, future-proof CCUS networks of expected CO 2 supply from a variety of sources.”

Data processing centre tabled By Murray Green

A proposed data processing centre in Camrose County was tabled until the March 22 meeting. “I move that council give second reading for a text amendment to include data processing centres as a discretionary use in the agricultural district and as a permitted use in the RCI-Rural Commercial and Industrial district in Land Use Bylaw 1373,” said councillor Doug Lyseng. “I move that council table consideration of third reading until March 22,” said councillor Carlene Wetthuhn. This application was circulated to the adjacent landowners, affected parties, all adjacent municipalities, advertised on

Camrose County website and in The Camrose Booster. Planning had one adjacent landowner submit a letter and a letter from the City of Camrose requesting a Camrose Intermunicipal Committee meeting to discuss the potential impacts of this text amendment on the Intermunicipal Development Plan area. “The applicant is in the process of developing a crypto mining operation on a parcel zoned agricultural along Highway 21 south of Ferintosh. There is an existing abandoned well site on the property and they will use the existing infrastructure for the basis of a power plant that will support the crypto mining operation,” said Anjah

Howard, planning manager at the County. Camrose County’s land use bylaw does not address crypto mining or individual power plants. The proposed bylaw amendments rezone the lands to RCI-Rural Commercial and Industrial and also add a definition for crypto mining, some general regulations around their operation and establish it as a discretionary use. Power generation is regulated by the AUC and the applicants have worked with them on the permitting process through the AUC; they expect to receive their authorization from AUC prior to March 22 and will submit it to the County. Confirmation to meet the AUC requirements will

be part of the development permit process. The County cannot impose restrictions over what the AUC places on the project. “In addition if the redistricting and text amendments are approved, they will be looking at subdividing the redistricted portion out of the rest of the agricultural portion of the parcel,” added Howard. The applicant has also submitted a development permit application which will be processed if the redistricting and text amendment are given second and third reading. Presenters Jason Tweten and Guruka Osorio said their company has an operation in Texas, but want a generator in Alberta because of the cooler cli-

mate. The generators work better in cooler climates, they indicated. “We will have one or two people visiting the site a couple of times a week,” said Tweten. “The generators will be run by computers most of the time. Our number one cost will be power. The generators, located in C-cans, will be used to create power and used to cool the generators.” Generators can cause a hum noise, but the presenters said the sound will be less at night then it is during the day. Tweten compared the sound to a household microwave. “The traffic along Highway 21 is higher than that of the generators.”

Knowing the causes, aids in fire safety By Lori Larsen

The first step in prevention is knowing what can cause an incident in the first place and in the case of a fire can not only save lives but thousands of dollars in property loss. Members of the Hay Lakes Fire Department (HLFD) have compiled a list of some of the causes of fire with hopes of educating residents and turning up the heat on prevention. “Causes of fires in the community vary from natural causes (lightning), mechanical causes, poorly maintained equipment, vehicles and heating devices, to unattended cooking fires and improper use of burn barrels,” explained

HLFD Fire Safety officer Len Raymond. Carelessness is also a leading cause of fire in and around the home and office, including: improperly disposing of cigarettes and ashes; leaving candles, open fires, fireplaces, grills and cooking unattended; and children finding and playing with lighters and matches. “Accidental fires can occur with failure to clear combustible materials away from heat sources, electrical failures, and leaving debris in the yard which can reflect/refract sunlight into focused heat to provide an ignition source.” While it is impossible to control the weather, being prepared for condi-

tions that may increase the likelihood of an accidental fire can prevent a fire from occurring in the first place. “As seen with last year’s extremely dry and hot conditions, it is important to clear away combustible materials and garbage from your yard,” advised Raymond. “Having a clean yard also ensures firefighter safety should the need arise to attend your home. There are reduced tripping hazards, and removal of hidden debris removes obstacles in the event of an emergency.” The first step in prevention is recognizing potential risks. Knowing what could cause a fire can be vital for preventing it from happening.
