UCP wins Provincial majority Armstrong-Homeniuk wins re-election in Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville

BY JANA SEMENIUK

Celebrations rang out at a watch party in Vegreville Monday night as news came of Jackie ArmstrongHomeniuk’s UCP win following the 2023 provincial election.

Just over 25,000 votes were cast in the Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville constituency, with Armstrong-Homeniuk garnering 14,616 over the NDP candidate Taneen Rudyk’s 9,441.

Independent candidate Kathy Flett finished with 823 votes, followed by Advantage Party of Alberta candidate Kelly Zeleny at 239 and Solidarity Movement candidate Granny Margaret Mackay at 112.

In Lamont County, residents voted at five different polling stations; in

Andrew, Chipman, Bruderheim, Lamont and Mundare totalling 1,879 votes for UCP Armstrong-Homeniuk and 724 for NDP Rudyk.

Armstrong-Homeniuk was a newcomer to politics when she first ran in 2019. Following the election results on May 29, she posted a thank you on her social media to her opponents in addition to the voters.

“Thank you to my opponents Taneen Rudyk, Kathy Flett, Kelly Zeleny, and Granny Margaret Mackay for putting their names forward and engaging in a spirited campaign. I extend my respect and admiration to each of you for your dedication to public service and offering your vision for Fort Saskatchewan/Vegreville,” she

said.

“Thank you to the residents of Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville for placing your trust in me. It is an honour to be re-elected as your MLA and to represent you and this amazing constituency. I am committed to working tirelessly on your behalf and together, we will continue to move forward, building stronger and prosperous communities.”

Meanwhile, for comparison, in the 2019 election, there was 26,539 votes cast with voter turnout at 70.2 percent in the Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville constituency. UCP candidate Armstrong-Homeniuk won her seat with 14,233 votes over the NDP candidate Jessica Littlewood’s 7,790 votes.

County family could have been killed by stray bullets

Husband loses all faith in the RCMP after weak response

BY JANA SEMENIUK

A local mother and her toddler were nearly killed when a neighbour’s target shooting session sent stray bullets into the front yard of their farm on Range Road 191 on May 27.

Tamara De Jager was sitting near the garden with her two-year-old son when she heard the gunshots but was not alarmed at first.

“It was about six o’clock p.m., and I could hear the neighbours shooting. It’s very common out here, we do target practice, too,” she said, adding her family has lived on the rural property for more than 10 years.

“Until I felt something whizzing by my head.”

De Jager then heard shots hitting her wooden deck and a nearby chainlink fence and knew what was happening.

“I grabbed my son and we raced up to the house,” she said.

De Jager called her husband, Matthew

Gavigan, who was on his way home, and then she called 911.

“The dispatcher could still hear the shots being fired and asked me ‘is that them still firing?’ and I said ‘yes’,” said De Jager, adding the dispatcher instructed her to move to an area of the house with no windows.

Meanwhile, Gavigan located the neighbour who was doing the target practice and spoke to them. He said they were completely unaware of what was happening.

“They thought they were shooting into a hill but didn't realize my house was just beyond the trees,” he said. “They were apologetic, but what’s an apology going to do?”

De Jager said soon after, she received a call from the Fort Saskatchewan RCMP detachment.

“When the cop first

called, he said, ‘So I hear somebody is shooting pellet guns at you?’ And I said, ‘absolutely not. This was a high-powered rifle’,” said De Jager, who estimated at least 50 shots were fired into her front yard from the neighbour’s home half a kilometre away.

“I told them my husband found them and had a chat with them and the cop said ‘Do we need to come out there still?’ I said ‘Yeah absolutely! They just about killed me and my son!’

“They said they were going to head over here and that was the last I spoke to them.”

While still dealing with the emotional trauma of the shooting, the family were still not visited by the RCMP more than 24 hours after the incident occurred.

Gavigan said he was extremely disappointed with the police response.

“I’ve lost all faith in the RCMP, put it that way,” he said.

“I’m not happy. They (neighbours) should be charged with reckless endangerment. They should be charged with reckless discharge of a firearm.”

After the Lamont Leader contacted Constable Suzanne Ahlstrom, with RCMP media relations for additional information, the RCMP then made contact with the family to apologize for the lack of appropriate response. De Jager said arrangements were made for a visit from the RCMP for May 29.

Moving Ahead by Giving Back

FURGESON, Troy

Peacefully on May 9, 2023, Troy passed away surrounded by family at the University of Alberta Hospital. Troy will be lovingly remembered by his parents, Ian and Ruby; sisters Stacy (Allan) and Michelle

(Jordan); brother Darren; all his nieces and nephews; along with his extended family and friends.

Troy had a love for life and was always the happy guy who made everyone around him laugh. He loved dirt biking and working on his pride and joy, his Duramax. He also had a passion for dogs and enjoyed teaching his best buddy, Mac, new tricks. Troy will be remembered as a hard worker who brought joy to family, friends, co-workers, neigh-

bours, and all that had the pleasure in meeting him.

The date and time for the service will be shared with family and friends soon.

The family would like to express their gratitude to everyone for their support during this difficult time.

Multiple sources have said Lamont County hired a new regional fire chief in mid-May, to allegedly begin in June, but communications coordinator Jay Zaal would not confirm the appointment.

“There is a process, and Lamont county went through the search process to look for the best person to fit the role.

“If there is a (successful) candidate, they will be starting June 12," said Zaal, who could not

explain why it would take so long to announce the hiring of a new regional fire chief.

Meanwhile, several sources have confirmed the information, alleging the incoming chief is Broderick Moore, who resigned from the deputy fire chief position with the Leduc Fire Department in March.

According to reports, several staff in the Leduc fire department have resigned over the past year, including the fire

UCP wins reduced majority government

BY JOHN MATHER

It was the wee hours of the morning on May 30, but when the count was finally concluded Danielle Smith and the United Conservative Party had racked up a narrow majority government win over Rachel Notley and the NDP.

With ridings flipping back and forth between the two parties for most of the night, the final count was 48 seats for the UCP while Notley and the NDP grew the official opposition to 39 seats.

“To paraphrase our friend Ralph Klein, ‘Welcome to another Miracle on the Prairies’,” Smith bellowed over a raucous crowd at her Calgary victory party.

“We faced the most expensive, fierce and coordinated opposition and third party political campaign in provincial history.

“Many folks wrote us off as recently as last month, but folks chose to move our province forward by re-electing a strong, stable majority government.”

She thanked all candidates regardless of whether they ran for the UCP or any other party.

Smith easily held on to her own seat in Brooks Medicine Hat where she was up against Alberta Party leader Barry Morishita, who finished a distant third behind the

chief, another deputy fire chief, and two firefighters among a class action lawsuit brought upon the City of Leduc by two former female firefighters. The lawsuit contained

NDP candidate.

In fact the Alberta Party, which ran a limited number of candidates hoping for a breakthrough, was thoroughly decimated as this was strictly a two-horse race throughout the night.

“The election is now over,” continued Smith.

“It is time to put aside partisanship, division, personal and political attacks in the rearview mirror. It’s time to move forward as all Albertans no matter who we voted for.”

In mentioning the NDP leader had called to concede the election, Smith stated she believed Rachel Notley was a loyal Albertan who truly cares about the province.

Speaking to Albertans who hadn’t cast a vote for the UCP, Smith said “I want you to know that my mandate is to work for all Albertans no matter how you voted.

“I will work every day to demonstrate to you that I can be trusted to work to improve on the issues that are important to you.”

She said she wasn’t perfect but if she heard about concerns she could then work to improve on them.

Smith did take a swipe at the Justin Trudeau Liberals and stated she was fully prepared to stand up to him,

Lamont County mum on possible incoming new regional fire chief

It’s over, let’s get down to governing

BY JOHN MATHER

Well that’s over with.

After several weeks of campaigning, Albertans spoke clearly on May 29 and said they wanted the UCP to continue governing this province.

Many pundits said it was a hard fought campaign with NDP leader Rachel Notley and UCP Leader Danielle Smith sparring over issues such as education and healthcare.

Actually to me it was more a battle of which leader did you trust more and how much BS could one side sling against the other.

Throughout most of the campaign, polls of various types showed the race would be close coming down to battleground Calgary to decide the champion.

So now it’s over. A UCP majority.

It was a vote against the NDP, who refused to discuss their record from when they were the government. Albertans remembered that time and didn’t want to go through it again.

Now, will Rachel Notley take a walk in the woods and tell her union buddies she’s done?

Who will replace her?

Well, some have speculated that one or two of her former cabinet colleagues could take a shot at the top job.

I rather doubt that because one of the NDP’s primary weaknesses in this last election was the lack of strength of its candidates.

Woke lefties rallying on about defunding the police, or wanting to spend more money that they can only get from additional taxation, or those who have proudly marched in Communist parades and speak highly of communist regimes are not the people I would want to see leading the party.

But former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi came out loudly supporting Notley last week.

In his early 50s, he has an ego large enough to seek the party leadership. It would be interesting to see how his decisive style would clash with the NDP head honcho Jagmeet Singh.

CONTINUED

But Nenshi turned Calgary sharply to the left, raised business taxes driving business out of the city and did all those neat things socialists like to do. Plus he has name recognition.

Perhaps north Edmontonion Thomas Lukaszuk may turn from a career in gaslighting to take a shot at the NDP leadership.

He has certainly turned away from being a conservative and he would likely cave to the direction Singh would want him to take.

Yes, he would be a disaster for Alberta so maybe he’d be a strong leadership contender for the NDP.

I wonder if the NDP will speak with all media outlets now the election is over?

And now that Danielle Smith has been given a mandate by Albertans, will the provincial mainstream media try to work with her or will they continue to bash her much in the way U.S media demonizes everything Donald Trump does?

Please note: Danielle Smith is not Donald Trump. Will we see some of the recommendations of the fair deal panel resurrected? Some such as a provincial pension plan and a provincial police force were scuttled for the election, but now they could resurface and face serious discussion among Albertans.

Will we get a government that promotes responsible, practical economic polices, or one that promotes victimization and delights in calling Albertans systematic racists

similar to what our Federal Liberal government does. And will we now have a strong government willing to stand up to the Feds, who want to intrude into our jurisdiction wherever they please.

The UCP has been given a mandate of four years. Use these four years wisely but respect all Albertans. Be transparent to Albertans.

Smith has a good squad from which to choose a cabinet. Make it a smaller cabinet based on governing effectively and efficiently. Continue to reduce red tape.

Explore alternative energy sources such as modular nuclear plants that could power our cities. Fight to move liquid natural gas to tidewater for export, to market in the world that are crying out for it.

By Hazel Anaka

By the time you read this, we will have survived another election. There may or may not be a new governing party. Heck, there may even be a minority government, which would be a first in Alberta history. No one I know stuck their neck out predicting a winner. The last polling I saw showed the leading parties running neck and neck and almost a fifth of eligible voters undecided. Many people were in a quandary as to what to do. The downside of that indecision is that people stay home and do nothing. As it is, voter turnout is nothing to crow about at any government level and at any time. So, my hope is that you took the time to vote. The timing of elections is never perfect but with the ability to vote at any advance poll in the province in the days leading up to election day, ample opportunities existed to make it easy. Election workers are

obligated to vote prior to the actual day. I happened to be in Fort Saskatchewan so I voted there Friday afternoon. Business seemed a bit brisk or at least steady while I was there. The process seemed quick and easy. I should have timed myself from arrival to the moment the machine sucked my ballot into its bowels. It was not a hardship in any way to do my civic duty. One need only think of those who’ve risked (and continue to risk) life and limb fighting for the right to vote in free and democratic elections. It was only in 1928 that women won voting rights equal to men. Prior to that, a woman needed to be over 30 years of age and a property owner. The reality for the granting of voting rights to First Nations people is even

grimmer. That didn’t happen until 1960. Both these things happened in good old Canada, not some banana republic.

As we enter June, the bulk of the seeding will be done. Neat and not so neat rows of garden vegetables will have emerged. Flower pots will be thriving only because of thorough waterings once or twice a day. Kids will be counting down the days to “No more classes, No more books, No more teacher’s dirty looks.” Salaried employees will have booked their summer vacation and be shifting into overdrive to leave the office and their workload in good shape. If we were all as productive as we are in the days leading up to a trip, the world would be a humming machine.

I find it incredible that despite being retired or

semi-retired, we don’t have any more or exciting plans to travel, celebrate, or otherwise relax. For the first time in ten years, I don’t have the work and worry associated with being a summer festival coordinator. That should mean I’m fancy free. But I’m working equally as hard on building a YouTube presence and stocking and selling more through Etsy. Even though I routinely work twelve-hour days on my plan, I’m content, calm, and challenged. As an introverted homebody, more often than not, I choose home over going out. Even the day trips I used to enjoy seem to have less appeal. And that is okay. Living authentically rather than according to the expectations and demands of others is a

blessing. It may not be attainable for everyone at every age and stage of life but it’s a worthy goal. If we don’t articulate and action our goals, they are no more than wishful thinking.

That said, I will encourage Roy to consider a summer getaway for us. Surely, we can manage a couple road

was complete within 45 minutes of the initial notification, with the rescue itself taking 15 minutes,” she said by email, adding that three youth were treated for exposure to the cold water.

“All involved in the incident were wearing Personal Flotation Devices (PFDs).”

The incident comes on the heels of Parks Canada Safe Boating Week May 20-26, a week dedicated to raising awareness around boating safety since 1995.

Friesen said the park encourages people to be safe around the water which includes checking the weather before boating.

“Parks Canada appreciates the coordinated efforts of our partners in responding to this incident. Visitor safety is of the utmost importance for Parks Canada and we encourage visitors to take necessary steps to ensure safety when on or around water,” she said.

“This includes preparing for the unexpected by wearing a life jacket when recreating on any water body in the park, checking the weather before you leave shore and when on the water, and staying close to shore.

Lamont County will help fund Chipman bridge replacement

BY JOHN MATHER

Lamont County is going to contribute funding for the replacement of a bridge on Range Road 185 to the northwest of the village.

On April 11, Chipman officials had met with County councillors and administration to discuss some shared funding for replacement of the bridge which was originally constructed in 1963.

April Kliachuk, an engineer with Chipman engineers AECOM, explained how they had become involved.

She said engineers from Calgary had come up and done an emergency inspection on the bridge and found deficiencies.

“The two things we want to do today are update council on the bridge… it’s a very high traffic road, and provide an update on the funding application and have some discussions around that.

She told council the

bridge transfer happened in 2010 through Chipman’s annexation of County land. The bridge is currently restricted to one lane of traffic at a reduced speed and needs replacement

Kliachuk showed slides to council indicating one pile had become disconnected from the bridge, leaving a six-foot span on the east side of the bridge unsupported.

She added concrete and rebar under the bridge was exposed but still had structural integrity.

Chipman proposed a 90 per cent/10 per cent split to the County which would have the County paying $405,000 for the replacement while Chipman’s cost would be $45,000.

On May 23, County officials said they had placed a bridge counter on the bridge and a second one north of the bridge near the intersection of Township Road 550.

The counter on the

bridge had 203 vehicle crossings per day in both directions and the second counter had approximately 199 vehicles going through the intersection.

They told council this indicated nearly all the traffic utilizing the bridge was either heading into or out of the county.

They added there was very little village traffic using the bridge.

AECOM’s estimate cost of replacing the bridge was $1,800,000. Provincial funding through the STIP (Strategic Transportation Infrastructure Program) would cover $1,350,000 of the cost leaving Chipman with costs of $450,000.

That was when Chipman appealed to Lamont for support.

Councillor Aaron Wick asked if Chipman had the ability to come up with their share of the money.

Car enthusiasts set to invade Chipman

BY JOHN MATHER

The streets of Chipman will become a parking lot this weekend as the Chipman Car Crafters host their 21st annual show and shine throughout the village’s downtown streets.

The weekend begins with a swap meet at the Chipman Agricultural Grounds on June 3.

“We don’t know how many vendors we’ll have because we leave it open for people to come on the day of the event,” said Dave Gray, president of the Chipman Car Crafters.

“We’ve had lots of interest and there’s been lots more phone calls than last year.”

He said some of the vendors will be under the cover of the quonset while others may be located outside. The Chipman 4-H Beef and Multi Club will also be sponsoring a beef on a bun lunch and coffee.

The gravel parking is located in the at the east end of the grounds.

For the main event on June 4, Gray said the registration is capped at 350 entries.

“We’ve never had any problems putting that many vehicles on display,” he added.

“I have no idea of what will on display. We’ve talked of maybe doing a pre-registration but that’s not on the table yet.

“We have the Mustang Club coming out, a Pontiac Club coming out,” he added. “There will be a couple of hemi “Cuda’s” among others. But until they arrive I actually don’t know what cars will be on display.”

Gray said the club usually expects between 2,500 and 5,000 visitors to come during the show, especially if the weather is nice.

“We ask people to pay a toonie at our information booth,” he said.

“We’ll be donating the money to the local food bank and if we get between $400 and $800 we’ll match it,” he

added. Judging takes place in the afternoon and there are 12 categories. There are first and second prizes awarded in each category.

The categories are muscle cars 1969 and older; muscle cars, 1970 to 1989; and muscle cars from 1990 and newer. In addition there are cate-

gories for antique vehicles from 1949 and older; classic vehicles from 1950 to 1959; classic vehicle from 1960 to 1969 and classic vehicles from 1970 and newer.

There are prizes for the best street rod, convertible and imports. Two categories are for trucks from 1972 and older and trucks from 1973 and

newer.

Finally there is the Best in Show category judged by the club members; the hardluck trophy and a random spectators pick.

Gray added they will be presenting some club achievement awards at the end of the presentation this year as well.

Gray said they’ve never had a rain out but

if they did have to call the meet because of bad weather the club would work to see if they could reschedule.

“That could be difficult because there are just so many car shows now being held throughout the summer across the region.”

“I know from the phone calls I’ve had there’s going to be a lot of cars.”

He added there will be 11 paid vendors on one street during the car show. He added the Ag. Society would be hold-

Gray said everything is ready to go.

BY JANA SEMENIUK

The Village of Andrew council members passed a motion at their May 24 council meeting to adjust the utility rates for both residential and commercial users.

While most rates increased for users, some decreased.

Chief Administrative Officer Tim Melnyk explained that the rates have not been changed since at least 2019, despite increased costs, which have inadvertently been covered by the Village.

“(For example), GFL does our recycling and we were charging a little over four dollars for recycling, but the cost (to us) was over $7,” he said. “Nobody changed anything, and (we wondered) why we're losing money each and every month.”

Melnyk said a flat rate is a minimum charge incurred whether you use the service or not, such as in the case of electricity and gas, but he said flat rates have not been consistently charged or collected in

the community.

“You're supposed to be charged a flat rate, whether you're down in Florida or wherever it is, (you’re) supposed to be charged a flat rate, no matter what,” he said.

“I know of many buildings that are not paying a flat rate at all, they're not paying anything. They're not paying a sewer flat rate and they're not paying a flat rate for the water to be

to the property line.”

Melnyk also said some businesses were being charged inconsistent rates varying from $8 to $32 for the sewer reserve charge, in addition to a range of $13 to $49 for a sewer flat rate.

“(For garbage collection) we found one commercial user that was being charged $88 when the rate was $45.79,” he said, adding he could find no reason why the

user’s rates should be so different. “All of the commercial (users) that are paying commercial garbage, every one of those rates were different. It ranged from $88 all the way down to (just over) $45.”

The steepest increase came to those using county resident garbage pick up which went from $19 to $50 which Melnyk attributes to county residents being

charged a residential rate for garbage collection instead of the commercial rate.

“It says in the papers that they signed when they came in, that their cost would be the same as a commercial rate,” he said.

In terms of water charges, Melnyk said the rate should have gone up months ago.

“As of January of 2023, our water costs

went up $2.40 a cube to $6.40. We're already just about (in) June. Figure out 100 cubes a day, times this many days and how much that money is that the (village) has paid for everybody to have water at a rate of $4 where it should have been $6.40?” he said.

Melnyk said the village still has approximately $15,000 in uncollected past water bills.

Andrew parent speaks out at EIPS meeting

BY JANA SEMENIUK

Village of Andrew parent, Kylie Rude, spoke as a delegate at the May 25 Elk Island Public School board meeting to try and have their decision reversed on where Andrew School students will be bussed once the Andrew Elementary School permanently closes on June 30.

The current arrangement will see five-yearold children riding the school bus for three hours each day to attend A.L Horton School in Vegreville instead of the closer and under-utilized Mundare School.

“My family and multiple others are being impacted in a very negative way,” said Rude during her presentation.

“We propose re-designating the northeast and southeast families to Mundare as one option. Of course, there are other options and anything that gets our kids to Mundare School is actually what we're looking for.

“So whatever that looks like, whatever is reasonable for the board to consider, that's what we're asking for.”

Rude further explained that her home

is located 66 kilometers from Vegreville and 53 kilometers from Mundare. She said it is also important for her five-year-old daughter Brinley to be able to attend school with her friends, among other benefits to attending Mundare School.

“We want to go to a school that’s close and similar to Andrew School,” she said.

“The lower registration numbers (at Mundare School) would also benefit from the additional students.”

Mundare School was listed as the second most under-utilized school in all of EIPSs’ 43 schools in a report presented to the EIPS board in Jan.

Further in the report, Mundare School was described as experiencing ‘regular, significant enrolment decline. With a 19 per cent decrease in 2021-22, and a 16 per cent decrease in 2020-21’.

Meanwhile, Rude said in a later interview that EIPS gave parents the option of where to send their children for school after they made the decision to close Andrew School, but didn’t promise busing.

“I called right after

that (May 4) meeting, because I was at the meeting when they made the decision. I called on my way home (so I could see) what the heck are the bus ride times going to be, and that's when I found out that they wouldn't even give us a bus to Mundare,” she said.

“They didn't even make it clear that you can choose that, but you have to get your kid to school by yourself.”

Rude said she feels helpless to plan the coming school year for her daughter.

“We’ve had a lot of stressful conversations here and a lot of tears,” she said. “(I) just feeling helpless, because I just want her to have a reasonable bus ride and to be with her friends, after all this very unfortunate stuff.”

Rude said she has not heard from EIPS on if or when a decision might be made on her request.

“It feels like they kind of treated us like numbers. Like we're only a few people, so it'll be okay. I don’t accept that because every number matters and every kid matters. Nobody should be treated that way,” she

Bruderheim Minor Sports portapotty unit vandalized

Damage occurred in less than a month

BY JANA SEMENIUK Bruderheim Minor

Sports president Tara Wilson was notified early Monday morning that the association’s portapotty, stationed at the soccer field in Bruderheim, was vandalized.

Although the unit has since been replaced, Wilson said has not yet been told the total cost of the damage. The association’s portapotty had

and Federal policies designed to harm Alberta.

In her concession speech, Rachel Notley said she had mixed emotions about the results.

“I feel tremendous pride for those people who offered their support to building a better future for Alberta,” she stated. “As a movement we have grown our support in every corner of this province.”

“We’re deeply disap-

He was told that they was unsure because Chipman is not in a strong financial position and the bridge replacement was an unexpected cost.

Lamont Council was told there was $90,000 in its Bridge Reserve Fund which could be redirected to the Chipman project along with $252,301 from a Water For Life Grant which the County has access to.

Councillor Roy Anaka asked for an explanation of the Water for Life Grant.

Chief Administrative Officer Peter Tarnawsky said it was a grant left

only been in place since May 1.

“We are saddened to see some damage occurred to the equipment on the soccer field. It appears the damage was caused on purpose which is disheartening. We are volunteers who are passionate about giving the opportunity for sport to local kids,” she said by text.

“It's unfortunate when

pointed in the overall result,” Notley added.

“To those who offered their support you are the reason we fight for what we believe in.”

She said she had been inspired by the candidates who had run for her party whether they either won or lost.

Notley too said it was time to set aside the partisanship and bickering that had been featured throughout the election.

“Where we fell short,” she added. “The responsibility lies entirely with me.”

“Now is not the time to let up,” she  continued.”It’s the time to step

over from a previous project and they needed to use it up by the end of the year.

Chief Financial Officer Rodney Boyko said it was leftover from another project and had to be spent by the County on a Water for Life project or a bridge project but it had to be spent by the end of the year or be returned to the province.

Tarnawsky said Chipman’s intention was to quickly proceed with engineering and they hoped to get into a construction phase by the end of the year.

Reeve David Diduck said the question for council was since it was mostly county traffic using the road what kind of split would be they be interested in proposing

the reckless action of others causes financial setback for associations and small business owners (such as the company who owns the porta potty).

“We hope in the future people will keep a keen eye out for any suspicious activity in the area of the soccer field. We can work together to keep things safe and secure in our community.

up.”

Notley said it was an honour to serve as the leader and a privilege to serve as the Leader of the Opposition.

“We will have a say in the future of this great province,” she said.

She concluded saying if her party had won it was her position to move past the divisions, and to govern for the vast majority of Albertans.

In Edmonton, the entire complement of 20 ridings went to the NDP with Deputy UCP leader Kaycee Madu losing his lone UCP seat in Edmonton Southwest constituency.

to Chipman.

Anaka said he would support a 75/25 split, and Councillor Daniel Warawa agreed.

Chipman’s share of the 75/25 split would be $112,500.

Wick suggested an 80/20 split and Councillor Neil Woitas agreed saying it was County residents using the bridge the most.

Lamont County would pay $360,000 under an 80/20 split.

Wick moved that the County put $360,000 towards the bridge replacement with funds coming from the Water for Life Grant and the remainder coming from the County’s Aggregate  Road Levy Reserve and it was carried.
