The Camrose Right Re lations Book Club took a tour of the Bodo Archaeo logical Centre and Site 33 kilometers south of Provost on Wednesday, August 10. “The tour put into con text what life was like for Indigenous Peoples precontact,” noted Sandra Nor dstrom, one of the found ing members of the book club. “We learned that they were not simply surviving; they were thriving on the plains.”As advertised, “The Bodo Archaeological Site and Centre is a hidden gem where you can experience this incredible part of precontactProgramshistory.”

manager, Courtney Lakevold, who has her master’s degree in archaeology and who Mary Bishop praised for Court ney’s depth of knowledge and enthusiasm at answer ing all the questions, gave a detailed explanation of the Centre and site. “This is the largest and most wellpreserved site of the 40,000 known sites in Alberta,” Courtney explained. “The Bodo site is the junction of the three main Indigenous nations of the Prairies, Blackfoot, Assiniboine, and Cree, and was used as a bi son kill site by all three. It was neutral territory for all threeOnenations.”ofthe more inter esting aspects of the tour was when tour members had the opportunity to throw the atlatl. The atlatl throwing spear stick was post-spear age and prebow-and-arrow age. It was first used approximately 7,000 years ago. The bowand-arrow was first used about 2,000 years ago. It al lowed the hunter to throw farther than a spear with more speed and power. The oldest known artifact found at the Bodo site is a 5,000-year-old atlatl dart point.Courtney drove the group in the Centre’s bus to the nearby 800-hect are site. In 1995, as a pipe line was dug at the site, the trencher operators saw thousands of bones brought to the surface. They im mediately notified the au thorities and from then on, the area became the Bodo Archaeological Site. So far 500,000 artifacts including projectile points, ceramics, fire pits, teepee camp sites, and millions of bison bones have been discovered. At one particular dig we saw what Brenda and Michael Mucz described as “One rich in archaeological history reflecting the de pendence of First Nations tribes on their main food supply–theHeatherbison.”and Ed Mar tinson observed, “It was as tonishing to see how many artifacts were exposed so very close to the surface in the sand.” It was mindboggling to realize that thousands of artifacts were literally a few centimeters below our feet. The tour made the group very cognizant about how a proud, knowledge able, flourishing culture had been decimated by the attempted processes of as similation. When the bison were gone, the way of life of the Indigenous Peoples of Western Canada was gone. Alan Richards, who organized this particu lar tour for the Book Club said, “Learning about In digenous People’s millen nia-long relationship with the land helps me better understand colonialism’s impact, their close relation ship with all creation today, and their land sovereignty concerns.”And as 10-year-old Chase Waddell put it, “I likedTheeverything!”CamroseRight Re lations Book Club began in Camrose United Church right after the six-volume final Truth and Reconcili ation Report came out in 2015. Call to Action 48 lists “upon church parties to engage in ongoing pub lic dialogue and actions to support the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.” The club has read and discussed close to 20 books by Indig enous authors, taken other field trips to Blue Quills University (a former resi dential school), a Maskwa cis pow-wow, and to the Pe Sakastew minimum securi ty facility near Maskwacis. As well, members have lis tened to many Indigenous guest speakers. If you are interested in the club, you can find us on Facebook under Camrose Right Relations Book Club.

By LoriHarvestLarsenseason is fast approaching and the coun ty is a buzz of activity in the fields, which means roadways will also be expe riencing an influx of traffic as farmers move vehicles and equipment to and from fields.Camrose County Pro tective Services manager and director of Emergency Services Sergeant Mike Kuzio offers the following tips for motorists and farm ers in an effort to keep all roadways safe during this busy time of year. Tips for motorists First and foremost, Kuzio advises all motor ists to slow down when encountering slow-moving equipment or vehicles and keep a safe distance in order to properly assess the situation.“Slow moving vehicles (SMV) (travelling under 40 km/hr) are required to display an orange trian gular Slow Moving Vehicle emblem that warns other motorists to slow down,” noted Kuzio. “So when you see this emblem, slow down immediately.”Passing farm equip ment can pose extra risks due to their longer and wid er size, so Kuzio suggests only passing when there is a clear line of site and it is safe to do so, allowing yourself extra time to com pensate for the oversized equipment and vehicles. “It is also wise to ensure that the operator of the slow-moving vehicle or equipment is aware of your presence and your inten tion to pass,” said Kuzio adding to always signal when“Farmpassing.equipment can be very noisy,” said Kuzio. “So don’t rely on honking the horn to signal your presence to the slow-mov ing vehicle operator.”
Breaking through Liberal stonewalling
In all these cases, the nonpartisan Privacy Commis sioner, whose role it is to oversee federal privacy matters, was either not consulted or blatantly ignored. The work of journalists and the Official Opposition brought these privacy infringements to light, not the Liberals’ honesty or integrity. This type of attitude is unacceptable and has cultivated a culture of secrecy and entitlement.
Equipment “implements of husbandry” do have exemptions under the Vehicle Equipment Regulation (Traffic Safety Act) when travelling during daylight hours, however, farmers should review the vehicle equipment regula tions to ensure their farm equipment has all required lighting and safety indica tors,” advised safetysible.”thestshould“Slow-movingKuzio.vehiclesalsooperateinfurrightlanewhereposOtherrecommendedtipsinclude:warn ing flags used to mark the widest part of the vehicle or equipment; use of four way flashers or amber flashing lights to improve visibility; knowing the route before travelling to ensure the roadways are safe and free of hazards; avoid busier times of day or busier routes (where possi ble); avoid travelling in low light conditions and always drive“Whendefensively.travelling on any public roadway, farm equipment and vehicle operators as well all motor ists must adhere to all traf fic safety laws and rules,” concluded Kuzio. “This includes fol lowing rules related to speed, signalling, sharing the road with others, dis tracted driving and operat ing equipment or vehicles while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.”
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police has used tech nology that scraped social media for the faces of users and then uploaded to a databank for the purpose of facial recognition even though it was widely known to be inac curate and against the law. ETHI is studying the RCMP’s use of Pegasus Spy ware, which has the capability of invading your phone un detected and obtaining data on your mobile device such as text messages, contacts, your search history, and data from a myriad of other applications on your phone.

When the government does not respond to access to information requests in a meaningful manner, it takes away the ability for citizens to be informed about issues that matter to them, including privacy rights.
By Damien C. Kurek, MP, Battle River-Crowfoot
He said that motorists should avoid passing pri or to lanes or machinery roads where it is possible the slow-moving vehicle or equipment may be turning left.
Road safety during harvest

Transparency is essen tial to democracy because it allows Canadians to see how their government is functioning, its priorities, and who to hold account able when something goes wrong, or malfeasance oc curs. Open government should not be just a parti san concept to buy votes, it is a crucial part of Canadian democracy. Trust needs to be established between elected of ficials and their constituents, and a big part of that is government being truthful with Canadians. Access to information requests (ATIPs) are a way for Canadians to ensure governmental transparency by obtaining govern ment-oriented information including documents, such as briefing notes and correspondence, that provide insight into the moving parts of government. In other words, “what you see, is what you get.” The unfortunate truth is that despite campaign prom ises and much rhetoric, the Trudeau Liberals have over seen a deterioration of the ATIP system resulting in long delays, heavily redacted documents, and non-answers. As a result, Canadians are kept in the dark on a myriad of pressing matters such as government spending and scandal. This is not just incompetence, this is an attack on Canadians’ “right to know,” and has become systemic in the Liberal government. The Liberals have capitalized on their own lack of transparency to take advantage of the privacy rights of Canadians. Unfortunately, there are many examples of this such as the Winnipeg lab scandal documents and the WE charity cover up, but to highlight this point, I want to share three lesser-known studies this year conducted by the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics (ETHI), of which I am a member, where the Liberal government disregarded the privacy of Cana dians.Here are the studies the ETHI Committee has con ducted on privacy issues: It emerged late last year, that the Public Health Agency of Canada monitored millions of devices and collected information from users without them reasonably knowing. They planned to continue this practice for several years.
For all other safety and equipment inquiries relat ed to farm equipment trav elling on roadways, contact Camrose County Protec tive Services at 1-780-6724449.Recognizing the impor tant role farmers play in our lives, using a little extra courtesy, caution and respect while sharing the roadways with farm equip ment and machinery, goes a long way to ensure every one remains safe.
The COUNTRY BOOSTER, September 6, 2022 – Page 6
“The operator of the slow-moving equipment or vehicles will more often than not let you pass when safe to do so and there is room for them to move safely off the road.” However, Kuzio advis es that if you do not feel safe passing, even if the operator of the slow-moving vehicle signals you to do so, the decision is always up to you. “Should traffic back up behind you and you still don’t feel safe to pass, then drive your vehicle over to the side of the road, where safe, and let others move by you.“Some of the farm equipment traversing the county roads may be wider than the road itself,” not ed Kuzio. “If you approach wide equipment driving towards you, drive your vehicle off the road, where it is safe to do so, and wait for the wide vehicle/equip ment to pass then resume driving after it has gone by.” Kuzio said to watch for pilot or escort cars, which may help indicate an over size “Abovevehicle. all be patient and give the farm vehicles and equipment the extra room they need.” Tips for farmers While the presence of a clean, clear and prop erly mounted slow-moving vehicle sign may seem obvi ous, Kuzio said that opera tors of the equipment or vehicles should also take precautions to ensure they are road safe and highly visible.“Farm
