Christmas comes to Chipman
Michelle Pinon Editor
The Christmas season kicked-off in fine festive style on Saturday, Nov. 21st thanks to the Chipman Agricultural Society which hosted a fun-filled family event that had something for everyone. Children enjoyed the craft make it and take it event at the Chipman Golden Seniors Centre, Sleigh Rides courtesy of Randy Hollar and Karen Calvert, as well as decorating the community Christmas tree in Chipman Memorial Park prior to the official light up around 5:30 p.m. During the afternoon, many folks shopped at the craft sale which was held at the Chipman National Hall. One of the best attended events was the turkey supper, which fed more than 250 people. The evening capped off with the reciting of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas by members of the Chipman Junior Players and the story of Chipman in 1934 by the ever entertaining and extremely imaginative storyteller and actor Bruce McGregor. Reid said volunteers peeled, cut, cooked and mashed 120 pounds of
potatoes. A total of seven (25 lb.) turkeys were cooked and stuffed with about five gallons of gravy. Around 20 lbs. of peas and carrots were cooked as well as 10 lbs. of cranberries. Around 10 lbs. of coleslaw was mixed, 300 buns made from scratch, and a nice assortment of desserts. A silver collection was taken during supper. A total of $1,162 in cash was collected as well as four large bins of donations for the Lamont County Food Bank. “We would like to thank everyone for coming to our event. We are really happy we had such a good turn out,” said Scott Reid, President of the Chipman Agricultural Society. “We were very pleased to see our MLA Jessica Littlewood and her husband stop in for a visit as well as our Mayor Jim Palmer who did the official light up of the town tree.” He went on to say, “As with every event, you need volunteers, and we had the community step up to volunteer in a large way. I could only estimate that we had between 25 and 50 volunteers. From kitchen help to helping kids make decorations for our

town tree, to our friends that drove the horse wagons, and the kids putting on the play. There are so many of them to thank for their time. We even had volunteers work through the pain of back problems or leg problems. How do you thank them enough!” Reid says many of them were already talking about what they can do to make next year’s event even better. “It is so great to see people get out from behind their computers or from in front of their TV’s to join
their neighbours for an evening of fellowship.” There were great comments on the food and organization of the event, added Reid. “I have only been in the Chipman area for six years now, and each year I get to know more and more great people through these events. It’s amazing.” Reid says he personally cannot thank everyone enough for the spirit of giving. “Merry Christmas to everyone from the Chipman Agricultural Society.”

Collaboration key to growth for Town of Bruderheim Michelle Pinon Editor
Municipal Affairs Minister Danielle Larivee affirmed her commitment to supporting regional partnerships during her first address to the Capital Region Board (CRB) on Nov. 12th. The Town of Bruderheim, one of 24 current members of the CRB, also reaffirmed its commitment recently when its council voted unanimously in
favour to remain a member of the CRB. “We are looking forward to continue working collaboratively with all levels of government, be it our local municipal neighbours or the Provincial or Federal government, to ensure our town’s bright future,” stated Mayor Karl Hauch. He went on to say, “There has been money spent in our region on needs assessments that we would not have been able to afford except thru our connection with this board, and the
provincial dollars accessed to pay for this.” Hauch also pointed out, “As our community is in the middle of the Alberta Industrial Heartland, we need to be engaged in the process of this region moving forward. Collaboratively we are stronger together with those from the CRB than on our own. “Although, we are a small part of this organization, we have a voice, and if we are not engaged in the future of this organization, we will not have a voice and others will plan our future for us, without our
input. For our town, this is an untenable situation to find ourselves in.” Back on Oct. 27th, Lamont town council voted in favour of opting out of the CRB. The only other local municipality that currently belongs to the CRB is Lamont County, and because of its population council will not be voting on whether to remain a member of the CRB or not. According the CRB Policy GO19, “Municipalities designated as a county, or specialized municipality, or with an urban population of 5,000 or greater, within the CRB boundary, must participate in the Capital Region Board’s activities.” In regards to the current CRB membership review, after its completion, the chief executive officer shall present the results of the review to the CRB at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

‘Solid Synergy’ during EIPS retreat, says board chair Trina Boymook By Trina Boymook Board retreats offer a unique opportunity to harvest invaluable insight and a strong vision In early October, Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) Board of Trustees and the Superintendent took part in a Board retreat at Pigeon Lake. Over two days, the retreat produced invaluable insight and a strong vision for the entire Board. Typically, when you think of a “retreat,” it means taking time away from your everyday routine to recharge and reflect—almost spa-like. However, a Board retreat is a little different. It’s about taking time away from your daily job routine to do essential, uninterrupted work you wouldn’t otherwise be able to. Throughout the retreat, we had a number of discussions regarding generative governance that identified the Division’s underlying values to drive the strategy, processes, and procedures used by our administration.
EIPS Board Chair Trina Boymook Depending on the topic, some of these discussions will require a series of additional conversations to gather further information. Meanwhile, other topics will require more time and research to determine the right direction to take. The retreat also offered an opportunity for us to develop a number of work plans for the year ahead. This work included the development of an advocacy plan that identifies areas where we want to focus our efforts. We also reviewed the overall needs of the Division and drafted a preliminary plan for

EIPS’ unrestricted reserves. With the number of school capital projects currently underway, the work ahead will include public consultations in the coming year. We have also identified the Board’s priorities for 2015-2016. These work plans also encompass tasks that will be required of trustees and administration throughout the implementation of the Education Act. Overall, EIPS provides high-quality education to students who live in Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, Vegreville, Strathcona and Lamont counties, and the western portion of the County of Minburn. Our diverse geography provides opportunities to collaborate with nine municipal government bodies. As a Board, we are committed to meeting the needs of our students and the expectations of our communities. Following two days of productive meetings, trustees walked away from the retreat both energized and excited for the work that lies ahead.

Opinion From Where I Sit: Revert to Routine
By Hazel Anaka Most of us gravitate to the familiar. We stick with a favourite route to work or the store. If we find a doctor, hairdresser, shoe shop, or dentist we like we keep going back until they miss a diagno-
sis, take too much off the top, sell us stilettos, or yank out the wrong tooth. Most of us hang in there with ‘the devil we know’ rather than risk change. Change translates into uncertainty. Uncertainty begets fear. Most of us will do almost anything to avoid those things we dread. Other times, life forces us back to or into the things we’d rather avoid if we could: medical appointments, tech upgrades, car shopping. Checking into what was causing my heel and ankle pain led to the miserable diagnosis of heel
warmth of a hot pack. I forgot about the invisible benefits of ultrasound and TENS. I forgot about the therapist’s insistence that the patient be part of the solution through faithful and regular adherence to the tortuous exercises shared on handouts. I did not need any of this. Then I decided to upgrade from my crankstart laptop (slight sarcasm) to something faster. The buying and the installing is never fun but I have to say I’ve gotten better over the years. No meltdown. No calls to children or tech sup-
spurs. That led me back to a physiotherapist for help. Since the months of treatment following rotator cuff surgery in 2006, I hadn’t darkened the doorway of a therapy department. I forgot the apparent chaos of each therapist having multiple patients on the go at the same time. I forgot the privacy shattering reality of curtained cubicles. I forgot that the whole world sees everyone else’s appendages, braces, splints, limps, and wretched movement. I forgot the power and the evil of an ice pack, the comfort and
port. Short-term pain until the next update. Another less than pleasant experience was going new car shopping with Hilary. She was ready to part with her 2005 Honda Civic and make the move to an SUV. She and her brother did one day of test drives. Then, during a lull in harvest, we spent a Sunday hitting three more dealers with her. She settled on an Acura RDX. It’s so hard to stomach the ‘make-mean-offer, I’ll take it to my manager song and dance.’ At every dealership I was shocked by
the lack of product knowledge. The young bucks couldn’t answer basic questions about features. Finally I said I thought all young men loved cars and knew all the specs. Well, there are a lot of cars, one guy said. OMG. If my livelihood depended on knowing more than the customer I’d be cramming and asking questions during all the downtime between customers. But that’s me. In the meantime I’ll revert to my routine of Festival 2016 work and dreaming of a winter getaway, from where I sit.
Duct tape divine Duct Tape has thousands of uses. One of those uses I wasn’t aware of was wallets made out of duct tape. They were for sale at the craft fair in Chipman last weekend. The creators were Marty and Mariah Barter. I was definitely impressed. They also had duct tape book marks for sale as well. Of course, I bought several. The cafty siblings also had hand painted items as well as miniature toque Christmas tree ornaments. They were so cute! There was also an array of knitting, sewing, leather and cowhide creations, jewellery, wood art, and baked items for sale. I always enjoy one of a kind gifts for Christmas, and I think these local artizans should be commended for their work. In the coming weeks there will be plenty more craft and bake sales to come. This Saturday, Nov. 28th there will be several bake sales during the Lamont Light Up event, and on Sunday, Nov. 29th there will be a Christmas Market at the Andrew Community Centre. Then on Dec. 5th members of the Mundare Community In Bloom Committee will be hosting their annual Christmas sale at the Mundare Recreation Centre. Who knows, since duct tape has gone designer, maybe I’ll find more divine duct tape creations in my travels. In the mean time, I had found a new use for duct tape. Now I can use it to mend my clothes. Little did the gentleman with a jacket patched with duct tape know he’d be my inspiration for my newly discovered thriftiness. Michelle Pinon

New school resource officer connects with local youth Special presentation during National Anti-Bullying Awareness Week Michelle Pinon Editor
Vegreville RCMP Cst. Jaison Gagnon feels very fortunate to be chosen as the new School Resource Officer (SRO). Cst. Gagnon, who will be serving Mundare School as well as all of the schools in Vegreville, told The Lamont Leader that he was surprised, but pleased when his Staff Sergeant informed him that he had secured the newly formed position. “I was surprised, and very pleased,” stated Cst. Gagnon, who began his SRO duties at the end of October. Mundare School Principal Liane Schultz said having an SRO is definitely an asset for the school. “Cst. Gagnon has already been in the school several times since formally accepting his role as SRO. His emphasis has been on being visible to students, teachers and community members and prevention and problem solving. Cst. Gagnon is indeed a welcome asset to Mundare School.” Cst. Gagnon is also pleased with the “great response” he has received from students, parents, and staff. Cst. Gagnon says he carries the same responsibilities as a general duty officer, and is always readily available on cell phone to address emerging issues when they arise. Cst. Gagnon led a discussion on cyber bullying for Grade 7 and 8 students on Friday, Nov.
20th, which was very well received. “Bullying doesn’t just happen in school. It happens everywhere, and it doesn’t just happen at your age.” He went on to say that bullying can hurt you, and even kill you as it negatively affects you physically, verbally, and emotionally. Cst. Gagnon asked the students how many of them have seen bullying. All of their hands went up. “It affects all of us.” He said the main thing is to report bullying when it happens. “When you tell someone, it actually gets better.” The three common denominators in all incidents of bullying are: the
target (victim), bully, and bystander, said Cst. Gagnon. As far as consequences in school, he said bullying can result in suspensions and expulsions. The internet, texting, sexting, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and You Tube, all of these cyber outlets are all vulnerable to bullying. Even though the bullying isn’t done “in person”, Cst. Gagnon said, “it is just as harmful”. One recent case of cyber bullying happened to Canadian teenager Rehtaeh Parsons who attempted suicide after the online distribution of photos allegedly depicting her gang rape.
Cst. Gagnon said some of the perpetrators do not realize they are hurting someone else, or they believe what’s online is not real. As far as protecting yourself online, Cst. Gagnon told students to never give out their password, even amongst friends. He also recommended the password have words, numbers, be an anagram, or include asterisks, exclamation points, etc. “Never open unidentified, unsolicited messages, and don’t accept random friend requests. He also recommended the photos they do send to each other are PG. ”Pause before you post, and always log
out.” As well, Cst. Gagnon said that even if they delete something, the RCMP can still link it back to you. Some actions are even illegal, added Cst. Gagnon, citing such crimes as criminal harassment, uttering threats, defamatory libel, and child pornography. One recent case, noted Cst. Gagnon, involved a boyfriend of an underage girlfriend who circulated nude pictures of
her and was charged with child pornography. Even the people in possession of the photo can be charged with possession of child pornography. He said the best thing is to report a crime, and that can also be done anonymously by phone or email. He also recommended students only include their first name in their online profiles. “The less information you put online the better.”

PUBLIC NOTICE ATCO Pipelines, a division of ATCO Gas and Pipelines Ltd., proposes to construct a new 18.3km long 508mm (20”) high-pressure natural gas pipeline paralleling ATCO Pipelines’ existing 508mm (20”) Inland Transmission pipeline from the Lamont Inland Control Station (SE 5-55-19-W4M) to the Norma Control Station (SW 34-53-18-W4M). This work will also include the installation/upgrade of three valve assemblies. Completion of this new pipeline and associated facilities will increase the overall capacity of the ATCO Pipelines system. Demand for natural gas in the Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan area (residential and industrial) has been growing and the existing system needs to be upgraded to meet forecasted requirements for natural gas beginning in the winter of 2016/2017. Construction of the new pipeline and related surface facilities is proposed to start in June of 2016 and be completed in October of 2016. Traffic impacts to the area are expected to be negligible.

Babas & Borshch supports Church Preservation Fund Michelle Pinon Editor
Back in February of 2013 Hazal Anaka first pitched the idea for the Babas & Borshch Ukrainian Festival to Lamont County council, and nearly three years later the popular summertime event has been a hit with folks in the region, the province, and throughout Western Canada.
Anaka, who has been the festival’s coordinator since its inception, was back before county council on Tuesday, Nov.10th to present her final report of the 2015 edition. As to why Babas & Borsch has been successful, Anaka said, It’s because we are willing and able to do things others won’t.” Excellent brand recognition, intensive media exposure,

consistency in the look of the festival and what activities are offered, participation in local parades, and a strong volunteer core were some of the key reasons for the festival’s continuing success. “We are building relationships and partnership with support from volunteers, community groups, and support from the Village of Andrew.” In terms of highlights of this year’s festival, Anaka listed the Zemlia Trio, author Michael Mucz’s presentation on his book Baba’s Kitchen Medicines, return of MY Ukrainian Dance Academy, and the “It’s Not Sauerkraut, It’s Kapusta” make it and take it event, as well as the Babas & Babes slide presentation by Saskatoon portrait photographer, Perogy Dance flash mob at the Zabava, and the closing screening of “A Place Called Shandro” documentary film. “I don’t think I can
Farmers, ranchers and their workers want to return home safely after working hard all day. We want to help. That’s why we’re proposing changes to laws that keep farm and ranch workers safe and ensure they’re treated fairly. • • •
Ensuring farm and ranch accidents can be properly investigated so they can be prevented. Making sure farm and ranch workers can still support their families if they’re injured on the job. Protecting farm and ranch owners against the impact of workplace injuries and illnesses.
If approved, laws that govern workplace safety and Workers’ Compensation Board insurance coverage would apply to farm and ranch workers as of 15114DG0 January 1, 2016.

overstate the contributions of Baba Magda,” said Anaka. Organizing an event of this magnitude takes a lot of work, work that is done behind the scenes that people don’t see, and volunteers don’t get recognition for, added Anaka, who
admitted, “We are not only doing something good, but we’re enjoying it.” Anaka was also proud to give back to the county by presenting Deputy Reeve Dan Warawa with a cheque for $3,500 for the municipality’s
Church Preservation Fund. “You have put our county and Andrew on the map,” stated Warawa. “That was our original goal,” replied Anaka.

Opinion: NDP agriculture bill means tough times ahead for family farms
Grant Hunter Fresh off implementing a slate of policies hurting our energy sector, the NDP government is introducing a new bill that sets its sights on our agricultural industry. Last week, the NDP
government announced plans to overhaul legislation applying to 43,000 farms and ranches across Alberta. The bill marks a staggering departure from nearly 100-years of policy, imposing reams of regulation on farms and expanding the Occupational Health and Safety and Workers Compensation to farm and ranch workers on every single farm in the province. Couched in terms of farm safety, it will add dramatic new burdens to families across the province as they deal with the added costs and new regulations. And the shocking part is the government expects farms to adapt to
these changes before Jan. 1. Yes, there is room to add new regulations for large commercial operations. But for the majority of farm families, this bill will mean tough times ahead. Unlike in other provinces like British Columbia, no exemptions exist to recognize the unique nature of family farms. Let’s be honest: no one cares more about safety and fair treatment on farms than the moms and dads who run them. No program would be more effective on improving safety than education. However, if this was really about farm safety, farmers would have been the first people the
government would have consulted about this bill. Instead, consultation with farmers was intentionally put off until after the legislation was written and announced. Not surprisingly, the vast majority of farmers and ranchers have real problems with this bill. Not only does it impose new regulations on farms, but it clearly crosses the line into private life. For example, a farm kid raising chickens, planning to sell eggs or raising money for the class trip to Europe, will now be subject to the Employment Standards Code. OHS regulations will be imposed on neighbours volunteering to help tag some
calves. And beginning in 2017, this bill sets OHS inspectors loose to enforce regulations designed for commercial and industrial operations on family farms across Alberta. One farmer put it this way: “More than 20 members of my family have called our farm home. I represent the fourth generation to live and work here. My kids, if they so choose, will be the fifth. However, under these new rules, only the house will be considered their home. Not the pond where they caught their first fish. Not the hitching post where they learned to saddle a horse. Not the barn where they treated their first calf back to health.
Not the machine shop where they learned to change the oil on a tractor. I understand governments love regulation, this government more than most. But government has no place imposing its ideology on where a person calls home.” Wildrose will ask the NDP government to slow down this bill and send it back to committee so the concerns of farmers and Albertans will be properly heard in Edmonton. Grant Hunter is the Shadow Jobs, Skills, Training & Labour Minister for the Wildrose

Lamont County Food Bank urging those to help local families in need this season Alberta leads the country in increased food bank use. Food bank usage was up marginally across Canada this year, but the picture in Alberta was a stark contrast, with an increase of more then 23% over 2014. According to national HungerCount statistics released last week in Ottawa, Alberta experienced the highest jump nationally with a record 67,443 people accessing a food bank during the month of March. The national increase in food bank usage was just 1.3% The surge was not wholly unexpected because the economic picture in Alberta has changed drastically over the last 18 months. The provincial job market has tightened. In addition to layoffs, workers are not retiring as early as they used to, seniors are
returning to the workforce and the business closures are forcing household incomes down. In spite of the job losses and income reductions, the cost of consumer goods has remained high or has increased, and the cost of housing remains very high. These adjustments have placed huge pressures on lower skilled workers and modest income families to earn enough to survive. Many families have fallen behind and are forced to turn to food banks for support. One-third of those using food banks in Alberta report they are working - that is more then two times the national average. What type of income someone is making matters a great deal. There are stumbling blocks that hinder
people from moving forward. These can be alleviated through access to re-training, education, and grant funding for training programs to address root causes of food insecurity for the most vulnerable - the working poor, the unemployed, and the underemployed. Food insecurity is the state of being without reliable access to a sufficient amount of affordable nutrious food. Food banks have recognized collecting and sharing food alone is not the answer. Many now are working proactively to connect people with programs and help them move out of food insecurity. We need to start a new conversation to determine the best course of action to tackle food challenges. Food banks feed thousands every day but we want to move past that and coop-
eratively find solutions for people to overcome the challenges that brought them to the food bank in the first place. Food Banks Canada collects data from 3,000 food related organizations across Canada each year and compiles the annual HungerCount report. The County of Lamont Food Bank and Lamont Christmas Hamper Committee have implemented new procedures in the last year and a half so that we can accurately collect data reflecting the food insecurity in our communities. This is the first step in trying to help people find solutions to tackle food security challenges. Our local Food Bank and Christmas hamper is completely run by volunteers and relies primarily on local businesses and the general public to
support our work. In 2014 we helped to feed 535 adults and 348 children, that was up 24% from 2013. Our numbers for 2015 were slightly down for the first six months of the year but by September we were facing a very different state. We are also bracing ourselves for a significant increase in demand for Christmas hampers this season. For anyone that needs a Christmas hamper you can call the Food Bank and leave a message. The deadline for Christmas hamper requests is December 9th. Want to donate? Look for the yellow cans at various businesses in Lamont, Mundare, and Chipman or call the food bank. What to donate? •We accept non perishable food items and personal hygiene products.
•New unwrapped toys for children up to twelve years old. •$25.00 Walmart gift cards for children 13-17 years old. •Cash or cheques payable to Lamont Hamper Committee (tax receipt available) Want to volunteer? December 20th 12:30pm at the Lamont hall. We will be assembling hampers. The volunteers at the County of Lamont Food Bank would like to thank the local businesses, County schools, local organizations, churches and the general public for their generous donations and support throughout the year. We are witness to the difference a community can make to the lives of others. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and all the Best of the Season!

Heartland rural relocation program ends SUBMITTED ARTICLE
In the 1950s, Sherritt Gordon Mines began constructing the first industrial facility in the region. A $25 million nickel refinery was built in Fort Saskatchewan, which had a population of just over 2,500 residents at that time. The next several decades saw industrial and population growth flourish. Companies took advantage of the synergies, infrastructure, and reduced footprint of locating within an already industrialized zone. Alberta’s Industrial Heartland became an economic and employment hub. Communities grew in size alongside industry. Some citizens expressed concern over the impacts of living nearby industrial facilities. As plans pro-
gressed for several new upgraders and hearings proceeded, it became clear there was a need to address resident relocation. After consultation with residents, government, and industry, a unique program was established to purchase property in close proximity to industry from those who voluntarily wished to sell. In 2006, Alberta’s Industrial Heartland Land Trust Society was created. Initial funding came voluntarily from local industry and municipalities, both of whom still contribute today. The Society’s main task is to operate the Voluntary Residential Property Purchase program (VRPP). The benefits include: •Residents have an
option for an equitable and efficient process to relocate •Industry conflict with citizens is alleviated with fewer residents in close proximity •Governments can guide orderly development and address regu-
latory concerns Since 2006, the Land Trust Society has conducted five rounds of the VRPP. Through the program, twelve families have successfully relocated outside the heavy industrial boundaries of Alberta’s Industrial
Heartland. Due to the five rounds of the VRPP, most residents living in close proximity to industry who were interested in relocating have been moved. Achieving this objective is a notable milestone for the Land
Trust Society. The Land Trust Society is currently under review to determine if and how the program is necessary in the future.
Changing climate in Alberta SUBMITTEDARTICLE
Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan is going to accelerate the transition from coal to renewable electricity sources, puts a price on carbon pollution for everyone, and sets emissions limits for the oil sands. In a news release, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley stated: “Responding to climate change is about doing what’s right for future generations of Albertans, protecting our jobs, health and the environment. It will help us access new markets for our energy products, and diversify our economy with renewable energy and energy efficiency technology. Alberta is showing leadership on one of the world’s biggest problems, and doing our part.” The climate change plan is based on the advice of the advisory panel that heard from thousands of individual Albertans as well as stakeholders this fall. On the advice of leaders from our energy industry and from civil society, Notley said the government will legislate an overall oil sands emis-
sions limit. We will grow our economy by applying technology to reduce our carbon output per barrel, which is what this limit will promote. Under the plan, Alberta will phase out all pollution created by burning coal and transition to more renewable energy and natural gas generation by 2030. Three principles will shape the coal phase out: maintaining reliability, providing reasonable stability in prices to consumers and business, and ensuring that capital is not unnecessarily stranded. As well, two-thirds of coal generated electricity will be replaced by renewables, primarily wind power, while natural gas generation will continue to provide firm base load reliability. Renewable energy sources will comprise up to 30 per cent of Alberta’s electricity production by 2030. A price on carbon is expected to provide an incentive for everyone to reduce greenhouse gas pollution that causes climate change. Alberta will phase in this pricing in two steps:
•$20/tonne economywide in January 2017 •$30/tonne economywide in January 2018 An overall oil sands emission limit of 100 megatonnes will be set with provision for new upgrading and co-generation. In collaboration with industry, environmental organizations, and affected First Nations, Alberta will implement a methane reduction strategy to reduce emissions by 45 per cent from 2014 levels by 2025. Notley wanted to be clear that 100 per cent of proceeds from carbon pricing will be reinvested in Alberta. A portion of revenues will be invested directly into measures to reduce pollution, including clean energy research and technology, green infrastructure, such as public transit and programs to help Albertans reduce their energy use. Other revenues will be invested in an adjustment fund that will help individuals and families make ends meet, provide transistion support to small businesses, First Nations, and people working in affected coal facilities.

MP Stubbs named as Official Deputy Critic for Natural Resources November 23rd, 2015 Two Hills, AB – On Friday, November 20th, the Hon. Rona Ambrose, Leader of the Official Opposition and Interim Leader of the federal Conservative Party, announced the Official Opposition Shadow Cabinet. Shannon Stubbs, Member of Parliament for Lakeland, was named Deputy Critic for Natural Resources. “The sustainable development of natural resources is the foundation of Canada’s economy, and is crucial to our long term prosperity and economic opportunities,” said Stubbs. “Canada’s natural resources set us apart globally, and support the jobs and livelihoods of Canadians across the country.” Stubbs wants to ensure
energy development remains a priority. “I will stand up for our world leading, responsibly developed energy sector in Alberta and across Canada. Energy is a cornerstone of our economy, with a strong track record of innovation, increasing efficiency, minimizing the environmental footprint of development, investing in alternative technologies for the future, and developing products, processes and expertise that are exportable for resource development around the world. All Canadians should be proud of our energy sector.” Like many areas across Canada, one of the major sectors in Ms. Stubbs’ riding of Lakeland is natural resource development – energy and forestry – along with
agriculture. Many residents and families in Lakeland rely particularly on jobs in heavy oil, and conventional oil and gas development. “In the context of worldwide economic challenges, government needs to ensure stability, clarity, consultation and competitiveness. Responsible development of natural resources provides jobs, spin off employment and economic activity, revenue to governments, and impacts many other sectors, in Lakeland and across Canada,” Stubbs said. “There have been many jobs lost in Lakeland and across Alberta during the past several months, particularly in the energy sector, because of low oil prices, but also because of uncertainty about potential fiscal and regulatory
