Andrew School’s junior high drama department teamed up with Andrew Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) to present the ‘Big Bad’ dinner theatre production on April 25th. Around 150 people attended the inaugral event.

‘Servant attitude’ necessary for next premier, says Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville MLA Fenske Michelle Pinon Editor

Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jacquie Fenske was one of 1,300 PC Party members who attended the leader’s dinner May 1 in Edmonton.

“Thirteen hundred people were ready to move forward. There was an energetic buzz around the room as people greeted each other with enthusiasm. The people were thrilled and excited to be at the dinner and at what they saw for the future of Alberta and the PC Party.”

Fenske was also encouraged by the policy changes that are current-

ly being implemented by the PC Party. “Changes in policy, common sense, greater review of expenses, and most importantly a servant attitude are necessary to put the brakes on behaviour that just doesn’t represent Albertans, or for that matter, true PC values. It is always important to not only listen, but to actually hear what Albertans are saying.”

She also pointed out that, “Premier Hancock has already begun changes in the process of how legislation proceeds through caucus. This is an internal step and a new committee structure has already been developed. We will also probably see more legislation

directed to the All Party Committees for recommendations.

“Once the auditor general files his report on the review of government air craft use, the policies will no doubt be changed.

Minister and MLA air travel will be changed to require staff to choose alternative routes or flight options. Those steps are still to be decided.

“There have already been changes in severance for new hires and the Sunshine list ensures information is made public in employee wages and severance. I think we can expect additional movement in this area,” predicts Fenske.

It’s fair to say the catalyst for these changes, is because of the actions of former Premier Alison Redford.

This was Fenske’s take on those pivotal events. “I think Premier Redford’s spending habits dismayed many people including me. As a woman I am somewhat angered that our first female premier in Alberta let us down and the opportunity for a woman to become premier again has been set back for another generation. The reaction in the constituency has been mixed both in what occurred and how it happened.”

Now Fenske, like other PC Party MLAs and

members are moving forward. As far as the leadership race, Fenske said a member of the PC Party can file nomination papers for the leadership race from May 15-30. If they are a cabinet minister they will have to step down from that position, added Fenske.

“I would think we will see one or two more cabinet ministers vie for the leadership in addition to Ken Hughes who has stepped down from Municipal Affairs as well as at least one candidate outside of caucus.

The leadership vote will take place on September 6. “I am not sure yet how many locations each constituency will have to have for in

MLA Jacquie Fenske person voting, but telephone and internet voting will also be taking place. If no candidate receives 50 per cent plus one; then a second vote takes place two weeks later with the top two candidates on the ballot.”

Emergency preparedness activities to be showcased NR CAER will be there as well as fire personnel from departments in the County. Andrew will be attending with their new fire engine and will be answering questions about the truck and promoting the thermal imaging program.

May 4 - 10 is E m e r g e n c y Preparedness Week in Canada, and Northeast Region Community Awareness Emergency Response (NR CAER), the region’s mutual aid emergency response organization, is planning some fun activities to promote personal preparedness in the community.

“While our industry and municipal members think and live emergency preparedness every day, Emergency Preparedness Week really highlights our message with residents,”

says Brenda Gheran, Executive Director with NR CAER. “We each play a role in having safe, informed and prepared communities and we’ll be talking to residents about how to do that effectively.”

On Wednesday, May 7 from 4:30 – 5:30 at the Bruderheim Community Hall. Bruderheim and Lamont County Fire Departments will bring response units (prior to Life in the Heartland information evening).

NR CAER will be there as well as fire personnel from departments in the County, says Randy Siemens, emergency services co-ordinator and fire chief for Lamont County. “Andrew will be attending with their new fire engine and will be answering questions about the truck and promoting the thermal imaging program,” adds

Siemens.

The theme for E m e r g e n c y Preparedness Week this year is “Know the Risks”. Locally, there is potential for floods, wildfire and severe weather. “We also have rail lines, dangerous goods transportation routes, industry and pipelines throughout the region,” Gheran says.

“It’s important to know the right safety actions to take in all types of emergencies, which in most cases is either Shelter in Place or evacuate.”

Other preparedness tips include having food, water and other items to self-sustain for 72 hours; establishing a family emergency communication plan; and having plans for extended family members and pets.

Knowing where to obtain information is also critical.

Local

municipal websites, municipal and provincial alerting systems such as the Alberta Emergency Alert, the update line 1866-653-9959, as well as traditional and social media are current information sources available in the area.

NR CAER also has a Youtube channel with short videos on Shelter in Place, emergency notification and mutual aid.

NR CAER members include emergency management professionals from area industry and pipeline operators, chemical transporters and the municipal emergency response departments of Fort Saskatchewan, Bruderheim, Gibbons, Lamont, Morinville and the counties of Lamont, Strathcona and Sturgeon.

PHOTO COURTESY NORTHEAST REGION CAER

On May 7, representatives with NR CAER and Lamont County fire departments will be on hand to answer any questions and provide information to attendees during the event.

From Where I Sit: Taking Back My Space

By Hazel Anaka A recent issue of O magazine is themed around the topic of decluttering. From Oprah’s opening bit (Here We Go!) to the last page’s What I Know for Sure the message is clear.

Freedom and clarity of purpose is yours if you get rid of the superfluous in your life.

A six-page spread about Oprah’s own efforts featured just some of the hundreds of pieces

of art, furniture, accessories and tchotchkes that were auctioned off last November. Proceeds of over $600,000 went to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy Foundation College Fund. Like most of us she has changed, grown, evolved. And, she had the courage to act on it.

The letting go of purchases and gifts was difficult but the result was worth it. Now, apparently Oprah’s surroundings reflect her current priorities in life. The lesson has been learning that ‘knowing what you need is more than knowing what you want.’ And what she needs is ‘dogs and books, light and space.’

Naturally her friend and organizational guru

Peter Walsh has something to say on the subject of de-cluttering. A foldout calendar challenges us to take back control of our lives in blitzes of one to thirty minutes. From cleaning the car, the fridge and the sock drawer to giving back through donations to Goodwill, he’s managed to make the exercise fun and conquerable through bite-sized chunks.

A series of thirteen rules urge us to give it away now, use what you have, fork it, finish the cycle and more. From dealing with an estate or a divorce, from selling versus giving, from using mantras to getting

permission to get rid of……., there is page after page of inspiration and tips.

This attention on our accumulation of stuff is not new. There are careers, TV programs, speakers and books dedicated to the mission. It’s certainly not the first time I’ve written (or done something) about it.

What is different is a new tactic I’ve tried. Late last fall I entered the world of consignment. I gathered up clothing, scarves and purses that were no longer serving me. The frugal me felt a need to try to recoup some of the money I’d spent on these items.

So after making an appointment with a shop I brought in a selection of items to be assessed.

Intellectually I understand they know their customer, their inventory and their business. That didn’t stop me from being offended when they rejected some items.

However, victory was mine when another shop took all the leftovers.

Better still, every single item except one purse has now sold. When I went to pick up my cash I brought spring/summer items to consign.

The forty percent of sales from the first shop put over fifty dollars in my pocket. I’m saving all the moola for something special. In the process I’m also taking back my space from where I sit.

Opinion

Letter: Vaccinations Dear Editor, The timing of the current measles outbreak in Alberta underscores the importance of immunization.

During the first half of the 20th century, preventable diseases killed thousands of people. Outbreaks of measles, whooping cough, polio and other preventable diseases resulted in hundreds of children throughout Alberta dying each and every year.

In the 1950s, preventable diseases such as polio, measles, pertussis, and diphtheria killed one out of every 28,000 people. Today, the number of deaths related to preventable diseases has dropped dramatically, down to one in every 462,500 people.

The last person to die from the measles in Alberta was in 1988. This dramatic decrease in mortality rates is not because these lifethreatening diseases have been eradicated.

They’re still here. What’s protecting us is Alberta’s rigorous immunization program.

Vaccinations have clearly saved countless lives in our province and have kept children and adults out of walk-in clinics, hospitals and funeral homes. But in order for immunization to continue to protect us, we all need to do our part.

Make sure your vaccinations and your children’s vaccinations are complete and up-to-date. By doing so, you’re not only protecting yourself and your family, you’re also protecting your friends, neighbours, and co-workers. I encourage everyone to learn more about vaccinations and how they protect against preventable diseases in order to help us all live healthier lives.

Sincerely, Dr. James Talbot, Chief Medical Officer of Health, Alberta

Real Senate reform within reach, says Liberal Party critic Simms Dear editor, After a career of railing against the Senate, Prime Minister Stephen Harper now says that we’re “stuck with the status quo”.

Canadians don’t have to settle for this defeatism - there is a practical plan left to fix our broken Senate. Mr. Harper was reacting to a unanimous Supreme Court ruling that his proposed reforms would require constitutional amendments approved by at least seven provinces representing 50% of the population. Abolishing

Kerry Anderson Publisher

it would require the unanimous consent of all ten provinces.

Canadians don’t want to open up the constitution for a long, rancorous debate with the provinces that would distract from solving their problems.Yet the problem is worse today than when Mr. Harper started eight years ago. He has turned the Senate into a hyper-political, hyper-partisan chamber, which he personally stocked with the likes of Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin and Patrick Brazeau.

Fortunately there is a

Michelle Pinon Editor

better way. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau has a plan to remove partisanship and patronage from the Senate, and to restore the original purpose of the Fathers of Confederation: a chamber of sober, second thought.Under a Trudeau government, all Senators would be appointed through an open, transparent and non-partisan appointment process. Senators would be selected on quality and good judgment, picking the best of the best from each province. Parties and partisanship would

Marline Umrysh Jodie TracyDerksen Harding Advertising Sales/ Ad Sales Office Manager/ Composition Ad Composition

become a thing of the past. No constitutional battles required. To get started, Justin removed all Senators from the Liberal caucus. In one morning he achieved more Senate reform than Mr. Harper had in his entire career. Real change to the status quo is within reach.

We just need the leadership to get it done!

Yours sincerely, Scott Simms, MP Liberal Party of Canada Critic for Democratic Reform

Andrew byelection candidate wins by acclamation Former mayor returns to seat on Village of Andrew council Michelle Pinon Editor

Even though Eldon Feniak decided not to run in last fall’s election, a recent unexpected departure on Andrew village council, made him file nomination papers on April 28.

to offer some continuity and assistance to fellow members of council as they are all rookies to public office.

Feniak is also grateful that he will be able to rely on the experience and expertise of longtime chief administrative officer Pat Skoreyko.

Feniak said he’s never counted how many years of service he has put in, but has found them all to be enjoyable, and is looking forward to May 14 when he will be sworn into office.

Eldon Feniak At the time, Feniak felt he had served enough years on council, and wanted to let someone else have a chance at serving in public office, but when the vacancy became open in midApril he decided to run in the byelection.

Feniak says he was “quite surprised� no one else decided to run in the byelection, but he is glad to have the opportunity

Elk Island Public Schools looking for community input regarding school name Michelle Pinon Editor

To rename or keep the same name - that is the question that is currently being asked of Mundare School families and community members by Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS).

As stated in an April 30 press release, “EIPS is looking for input from the Mundare community to determine whether or not they are interested in renaming Mundare School.”

Construction of the replacement school in Mundare is scheduled to be completed this summer, and EIPS officials are wondering what people are thinking, and ask-

ing for people to respond to a short survey on the topic.

“The purpose of the survey is simply to see if there is interest within the community to rename the school because this is the most applicable time to do so.

This does not mean the board is pushing to have the name changed, we just want to see if the community wants to do so,” stated EIPS board chair Trina Boymook.

“Community input will help ensure the future decisions EIPS makes about the school name best reflect the feelings and opinions of the Mundare community and the families we serve,” added Boymook.

“When a replacement school is built, the

opportunity exists to consider renaming the school. Mundare School is the only school in the Town of Mundare, and has been part of the community for over 60 years.

As such, the school plays an integral role in the community as a whole.

Both Mundare School families and the community in general have a vested interest in the potential renaming of the facility,” pointed out Boymook.

EIPS also wants additional members of the community to become aware of the survey and share their feedback between now and May 9th. The survey is available through the school website at: www.mundareschool.ca

Former Lamont student receives scholarship Michelle Pinon Editor

Lamont’s own Kaitlin Loewen was one of more than 1,200 students who received awards, scholarship and bursaries from Lakeland College recently.

Loewen, who is enrolled in the Child and Youth Care Program was presented with The Child and Youth Care Association of Alberta Scholarship during an awards ceremony held about a month ago at the Vermilion Campus.

“I received $200 and I plan on saving for furthering my education,” stated Kaitlin. This was the first scholarship she has received, and added that it is “very important” and a “huge reassurance” to push her further in her education.

Kaitlin Loewen

Kaitlin, 20, has been accepted into Grant MacEwan University and plans on taking her Bachelor of Arts program in the faculty of Child and Youth Care over the next two years.

Kaitlin, who grew up on an acreage east of Lamont, says her family and friends are the reason she decided to take post secondary education, and now, continue on her career path.

“They are my support and the reason why I am so grateful to be from a great town like Lamont.”

It was back in Grade 10 that Kaitlin decided to apply for the program. She loves helping people, and said that, “Ever since I was little, I would hold doors open for people. I love making people smile if I can make one person laugh or smile in a day, my day is made. If I can do that in a job, my life will be made!”

During this academic year at Lakeland College a total of 1,223 awards, scholarships and bursaries totaling $1,207,109 were distributed to deserving recipients.

Lakeland College was established in 1913 and has campuses in Vermilion and Lloydminster. It offers full-time, part-time, and continuing education programs in academic upgrading, agricultural sciences, business, environmental sciences, fire and emergency services, health and wellness, human services, interior design technology, performing arts, trades and technology and university studies.

NAME THAT SCHOOL MICHELLE PINON PHOTO School families as well as community members will have the option to provide input on the name of Mundare’s new school that will be opening this September.

Blues master to perform in Lamont Michelle Pinon Editor

Chart topping Harpdog Brown will be bringing his own special brand of the blues to Lamont on Friday, May 9.

One of Canada’s most highly acclaimed and celebrated blues musician, will be rolling out

Lamont Hotel, and thankfully they were interested in giving us a shot at playing for you all in Lamont.”

Harpdog and Kim go back to the early eighties.

“Knowing she has always wanted to bring in some big city entertainment to the country I contacted her about this tour.” Kim said she is “very excited” that

Award winning musician Harpdog Brown will be singing the blues at the Lamont Hotel on May 9. the tracks from his latest CD ‘What it Is’ at the Lamont Hotel at 9 p.m.

“Let me say this will be a show Lamont will hardly ever forget,” promises Harpdog.

Fortunately, Harpdog had an opening in his touring schedule, and reached out to friend, fan and Lamont resident Kim Moon, who put him in touch with the Lamont Hotel. “For some odd reason, my Friday didn’t come together in Edmonton, and well I reached out to Kim, she put me in touch with the

Harpdog is coming to Lamont as she has been trying for many years to get him to come out here.

Kim, a self professed “music junkie,” first met Harpdog after a show in Edmonton. “We started talking and got to be best friends,” adds Kim. He is “one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, and he loves sharing his music with everyone.”

When Kim talks about Harpdog, you can hear the admiration in her voice. “He’s a blues man through and through.

I’ve never met anybody

as true and passionate to his genre.” Kim’s mom, Evelyn Wohlgemuth is one of his biggest fans, and has already made sure she gets a seat in the front row for his upcoming performance.

“I live to travel and spread the word of the blues, (truth) to all who will lend an ear,” adds Harpdog, who has played to many audiences over his 30 plus years in the entertainment business. “I have been playing music for most of the past 34 years now. Played from Alaska to San Fran and the pacific north west, from the island out west here all throughout western Canada all the way to Ottawa and most of Ontario, and all there is within.”

Even though he has lost track of how many concerts and festivals, bars, pubs and clubs he’s performed in over the years, he says he has loved most of them all.

One of the highlights of his career was opening for Robert Cray at the Pacific Colosseum in Vancouver in 1994 with around 7,000 people in attendance. “I played the Waterfront Festival in Portland, Oregon in 1994 on July 4th on the main stage, and the last band before the final headliners of the day.

“Actually I have to say another one of my all time highlights in my musical journey was back in ‘85 when I was asked to play for the Max

Pen in Fort Saskatchewan on a Sunday for the not so bad boys doing time.

They didn’t pay us, but the looks in the eyes of the inmates on our way out was priceless. They made a human gauntlet down the hallway as we loaded all our gear out.”

As far as musical influences in his life, Harpdog said he fell in love with the sound of the Rolling Stones and looked into the background a bit more. “I looked into the originals and found myself listening to Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed and the likes. I started to find more of a resonance to that music than to the Stones. When I saw James Cotton play at The HUB in Edmonton at the U of A, I was hooked and really needed to learn how to play the harmonica.

By 1982, Harpdog was playing “harp” and leading his first blues band.

“My first lineup of Bloodhounds happened back in 1990, here in Vancouver. Our first gig was at The Commodore Ballroom...we toured for two years, recorded a live cassette, lived hard, played hard, and thankfully, we are all alive and well.”

The second lineup of the Bloodhounds ran from 1992 to 1995 when they cut three albums and toured the states and throughout Canada.

Then came the latest, band, simply called The Harpdog Brown Band.

This is the band he cut his latest album with, which has already reached the top 50 Canadian blues charts at number five with four songs in the top 50, and the American blues charts at number 39 the first week of April.

Harpdog said the campaign has just gotten underway, and will continue for 10 weeks.

He couldn’t be happier with the results so far, and says, “This is the band I have always been searching for, and now they pretty well found me, and well it has been a world of fun, and serious fun, with music first and foremost. We all enjoy each other on and off stage which is also very important in my view as a band leader.”

Harpdog also believes he, along with the rest of the band members, and the folks who come out for the show on May 9th will carry the memory with them for the rest of their lives.

He plans on recording more albums on a yearly basis, and touring those albums near and far. “I have to say, just living my life as I see fit, and touching people’s hearts and souls make me satisfied.” So who says you can’t get no satisfaction?

Certainly not Harpdog Brown.

A performance best served with a side of pyrohy.

Sharpshooter earns silver at provincial competition

Bruderheim lights the way

Michelle Pinon Editor

Every chance he gets, Ben Marshall is honing his basketball skills.

The practice paid off recently when he earned a silver medal at the Knights of Columbus (K of C) Free Throw Provincial Championship in Sherwood Park during Spring Break.

The Grade 8 student from Lamont High School said he was “pretty excited” to win the silver medal, especially since the shoot off went into double overtime. He beat out his closest rival by a single basket, and was very relieved when he clinched silver.

While Marshall had competed in the local and district K of C championships before, it was his first appearance at provincials.

Marshall believes confidence, perseverance and determination were the reasons he placed so well throughout the various levels of the competition. He admits that the timing of the competitions was good since he was just coming off the basketball season with the Lakers.

“Next year I hope to make nationals,” stated Marshall. With his drive and focus, there’s no question that he will excel next year as well.

Elaine Milliken, legislative services director with the Town of Bruderheim and Mayor Karl Hauch, (middle), accepted a $2,500 cheque for arena lighting upgrades from Rick Burden of FortisAlberta on April 25.

Bruderheim beat out several other communities to win the company’s inaugral Energy Challenge.

“Don’t stop eating pork,” says producer Michelle Pinon Editor

Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is not a threat to food safety although it is deadly for baby pigs.

For the past year, Alberta Pork has been taking preventative measures to try and keep PED out of the province, and producer/chair Frank Novak wants people to know that PED is not a food safety issue.

“It has zero to do with human health,” stated Novak emphatically during a telephone interview May 2. The Sherwood Park area producer’s overall message to the public is: “Don’t stop eating pork.”

Novak stressed the importance of consumers to keep supporting the industry in order to keep the market strong. The pork industry has faced many challenges in recent years, and PED is just another one they will have to overcome.

Producers have to be vigilant and take necessary precautions in order to keep the disease from spreading. “The reality is it (PED) has to be managed in order to keep it out of Alberta.”

The provincial and federal governments are also helping to address the threat of pig diseases by recently announcing new biosecurity and education measures.

Through the Growing Forward 2 program, the

governments will be providing $1.35 million to Alberta Pork to help address the threat of pig diseases including PED. “The funding for the pork sector is a proactive step to help the industry fight pig diseases and improve biosecurity measures across the province,” stated Verlyn Olson, Minister of Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development during the funding announcement on April 14.

PED was first identified in the United States 12 months ago. Since that time, Novak said PED has spread to 30 states with more than 6,000 confirmed cases. Back on April 28, the Office of the Chief Veterninary Officer confirmed the presence of PED virus at a high traffic site in western Manitoba.

Novak said the most common method of transmission of PED is vehicles, which is why there has been a “major ramp up” cleaning and disinfecting procedures.

The bug is tansmitted

from the manure of pigs.

Currently there is no vaccine for PED, but researchers are working on developing one, added Novak.

Lastly, he encouraged anyone who is planning

to visit a pig farm in the United States this summer to wash their vehicles afterwards, and make sure the car wash does not use recycled water.

Heartland 101 Emergency Preparedness

Community Association for Lasting Success

Calling all children from 6 to 12 years

Emergencies have the ability to impact individuals, communities and industries.

Being prepared for emergencies is a shared responsibility. Emergency Preparedness Week is May 4 – 10 in Canada, and local mutual aid emergency response organization, Northeast Region Community Awareness Emergency Response (NR CAER) encourages everyone to be safe, informed and prepared.

May 31, 2014 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Bruderheim Arena $10 per child Everyone registered before Friday May 9 will be eligible for a draw for a free bicycle! Registration forms available at the Bruderheim Town Office. We have limited space available, register early!

“People can follow the same steps for emergency planning that communities and industries do,” says Brenda Gheran, Executive Director with NR CAER. “You first need to ask yourself what risks you face, determine how you would address those risks, and have the necessary resources ready, so you can respond effectively.”

Lunch Provided All children are encouraged to attend this bicycle training session.

Bring your bicycle and a helmet.

Each municipality and industry in and around Alberta’s Industrial Heartland has an emergency response plan and resources. Through NR CAER, there is a mutual aid plan to allow members to work together in a large emergency. “Over the past two decades, there have been a few instances where our members have come together to respond to either natural or industrial emergencies,” Gheran says. “We hold training exercises to ensure the plan is working, and make changes based on lessons we learn. We always find ways to improve.”

Residents in the area can do their part by getting informed and knowing what to do. NR CAER created a series of Youtube videos on emergency preparedness, emergency notification and NR CAER’s mutual aid program. “We encourage families to watch the videos together, and then create their personal preparedness plans.

Emergency preparedness guides are also great resources that include information on proper safety actions, including Shelter in Place, which is something we need to know in our region,” Gheran advises.

It’s important in an emergency that the right information gets to the right people at the right time so they can make the right decisions.

The UPDATEline 1.866.653.9959 has current information about industry activity and there are alerting systems residents can register for through their municipality.

NR CAER will be out in the community as part of its outreach activities for 2014 Emergency Preparedness Week: May 6 Fort Saskatchewan Sobey’s (soon to be Co-Op) parking lot 4 – 6 p.m.

May 7 Bruderheim Community Hall 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. and staying for the Life in the Heartland information evening from 5:30 – 8p.m.

For more information about Life in the Heartland, visit lifeintheheartland.com, follow us on Twitter and Facebook, or email info@lifeintheheartland.com.

Responsibilities include assisting the Summer Program Coordinator to:

x Plan, coordinate and facilitate safe and fun-filled summer day camps for children coming out of grades one-six.

x x x x x

Ensure the daily safety and wellbeing of participants Communicate with parents on a daily basis

Maintain Your Right-of-Way Lamont County is obligated by provincial legislation to maintain right-of-way’s within its jurisdiction. If it is found that Lamont County is not doing so, the provincial government can step in to ensure that maintenance is being completed. Lamont County strives to make sure the right-of-ways are being kept free and clear of noxious weeds and or brush.

Spraying Program Lamont County has only 1 spray truck and a few smaller sprayers that complete spot spraying of problematic areas. The spray truck cannot cover the whole county in one season because it consists of over 2000km of road. Therefore the county is split into 3 sections and each section is sprayed only 1 time every 3 years, with problem areas throughout the county being spot sprayed.

The applicators do not spray near yards that are directly adjacent to the right-of-way unless requested by the landowner. Some landowners choose to do the maintenance of the right-of-way along their property, when this is the case the applicators do not spray or mow these locations. Either way the right-of-way is still being maintained.

Vegetation Removal Program Lamont County tries to achieve a 15 foot cut within the right-of-way where possible. Mowing commences early June and all roads are to be mowed at least 2 times.

Lamont County has a roadside brushing program, this program is very important to the success of Lamont County’s overall vegetation program. The objective of the brushing program is to remove deadfall as well as trees that are growing too close to the road. This also helps improve the visibility of wildlife for the motoring public.

Lamont County Development Permits Why do I need a Development Permit?

A Development Permit approves the use of a site, as well the location/or setback of any buildings or structures from property lines. This ensures that the proposed structure and/or use conform to the applicable regulations outlined in Lamont County’s Land Use Bylaw for that site.

Setbacks are also required to ensure the development is situated in a safe location and not too close to a roadway, steep slope, water body, and oil and gas facilities, etc.

When is a development permit required?

Development Permits are required for most new construction (new buildings, additions) and changes in use. Development Permits are also required for accessory buildings, garages, mobile homes and variance requests.

No development shall take place within the County prior to an application being approved and a Development Permit issued by Lamont County’s Development Authority.

How long does it take to obtain a development permit?

It is important to submit your development permit application well in advance of starting any development. Lamont County Development Authority has 40 days to issue a development permit with all necessary information submitted according to the Municipal Government Act. A development permit is required before any development can begin on a site, and then a building permit can be obtained for safety code purposes from The Inspections Group.

Alberta’s New Home Buyer Protection Act came into effect February 1, 2014. Building permits will only be issued for homes with appropriate warranty coverage. For more information, please visit their website at http://www.homewarranty.alberta.ca/

Did You Know …

Through the Gravel Program, Lamont County Public Works gravels 250 miles (over 402kms) of road every year, with only 8 graders.

As Lamont County has approximately 2089 miles (3362kms) of road, it takes around five years to gravel all the roads in the County at least once. Some roads that see a lot of use from heavy industry, etc. are graveled more often over the five-year period to account for the increased wear that occurs. Industry also takes care to maintain roads that get used more frequently.
