High risk driver ditches police; but eventually gets nabbed Vegreville RCMP and Community Peace officers were kept busy over the past few days by a motorist who decided that the requirement to stop for police did not apply to him. On Sunday September 6, 2015 a 37 year old man from Mundare, Alberta and his 1990 Blue Isuzu pickup truck were seen driving in the town of Mundare, Alberta. The truck was very familiar to police as a salvage vehicle which could not be registered or insured, and was not safe to be on the road. When RCMP attempted to pull the truck over he refused to stop. Due to the potential risk to the public RCMP chose to not pursue the truck within the town. Later that afternoon the truck again failed to stop for another RCMP officer who was attempting to pull it over for the same reasons. Two days later the truck again failed to stop for a Community Peace Officer. The truck was then seen again in the evening of September 8, 2015 near Mundare. This time police followed the truck to an isolated rural area where RCMP set up a roadblock on a gravel road. Upon the truck approaching the roadblock he appeared to slow down as if to stop. Instead, he decided to drive through the ditch, then a field and went around the roadblock. RCMP followed
and attempted to stop the truck for another 3 miles with it still refusing to stop. When the truck approached the next roadblock he turned around in the middle of the road and came back towards the following officers. When officers tried to block his escape the suspect vehicle collided with the front of an RCMP car while driving through the ditch again and evaded capture. Damage was minor and nobody was injured. The next morning on September 9 RCMP located the driver of the truck near his residence in Mundare. This time he fled on foot and RCMP gave chase. The male broke into a nearby home where a female resident was home alone at the time. Officers located the suspect in the garage of the house where he then broke the door and ran from police again. RCMP caught up to the suspect a short distance away where he turned and came towards officers in a threatening manner. Pepper spray was deployed and the suspect was taken into custody after resisting arrest. 37 year old Istvan (Steven) Bela BARTOK of Mundare, Alberta is currently in police custody. BARTOK is facing 27 charges pertaining to these matters and is very familiar to RCMP and Peace Officers in the area.

Lamont’s 28th annual Terry Fox Run set for September 20 Local Knights of Columbus co-ordinate event Michelle Pinon Editor
The mother son duo of Nadine and Shanon Skitsko are teaming up once again to co-organize the 35th annual Terry Fox Run in Lamont on Sunday, September 20th. The pair want to emphasize that it is a noncompetitive event. “Even if you can only afford 10 cents that’s fine,” says Nadine. It was Terry Fox’s dream to raise one dollar for every Canadian, and this will be the 35th year Canadians from all walks of life will be continuing his dream. “This event can only be possible with the assistance and support from our community,” pointed out Nadine and Shanon. During the run, they will also be selling the commemorative t-shirts for $20 each. Another way to show support is to bring a donation for the local food bank. Registration for the run will go from 12 Noon to around 12:45 p.m. The official send off will be at 1 p.m. Participants can walk, run or bike the five or 10 km route. Following the run, participants are invited to stay for a barbecue luncheon, courtesy of local sponsors. In 2014, thousands of participants in over 100 communities host Terry Fox Runs and around 1,200 school events, collectively raised $2.9 million for cancer research. According to the Terry Fox Foundation, 84 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research. To date, more than $650 million has been raised for cancer research worldwide. The total number of cancer research projects funded to date by the foundation is 1,152. The foundation is one of the largest non-governmental funders of cancer research in the country. The foundation is not associated with the Canadian Cancer Society or any other cancer fundraising national organization.

The Lamont Leader (Lamont, Alberta), Tuesday, September 15, 2015 - 3
Shannon Stubbs supports Canadian stance on Ukraine Canada is a beacon of peace, of human rights, of prosperity, of freedom, of democracy, of equality, and of human dignity. We emanate these values and our current federal government strives to uphold them at home, and projects them to the world. In this context, I was mindful of Canada’s ongoing dedication to Ukraine while Vegreville celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the Psyanka recently. Our world is becoming a more volatile and dangerous place – and it’s important we have the right leadership to keep us safe and to defend our beliefs and values. Recent tragic events have shown us that now is not the time to take our way of life for granted. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Canada is the most respected country in the world. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has stood steadfast for Canadian values, unwavering in the face of global conflicts, by standing up to Russian President Vladimir Putin and his illegal occupation of Crimea and aggression in Ukraine, joining the fight against ISIL’s unimaginably horrific atrocities against men, women and children of ethnic and religious minorities, humanitarian aid workers, journalists, professors and students in Iraq and Syria, and confirming that barbaric acts such as honour killings, forced and child marriages, and female genital mutilation are unacceptable, violate Canadian law and contravene our values. Canada needs to take these principled posi-
tions at home, and internationally. Our Prime Minister looked Putin in the eye at a recent G7 meeting and was the only leader to refuse to shake Putin’s hand, and told him clearly to get out of Ukraine. A few weeks ago, I was privileged to spend the day with Hon. Rona Ambrose and many families from Lakeland at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village to celebrate the centennial anniversary of Ukrainian settlers in Alberta. The sacrifices these families made to survive was immense, and that dedication and work ethic was passed on through the generations as they built the communities we enjoy today. The families who chatted with us expressed their appreciation for Canada’s continued commitment to, and support for, Ukraine. The world respects Canada more than any country on the planet because of this principled leadership. But the other parties must not believe it, because they pretend and insist that it is not the case. And so the implication is clear: all of it is at stake in this election. The universally admired position of Canada internationally is in large part due to the federal Conservative government’s tireless focus on priorities, and standing up for Canadian values and human rights, safety and international security, for doing what is right. Our Prime Minister was the first G7 leader to denounce Russia’s illegal occupation of Crimea. On behalf of Canadians, he has been the strongest advocate for standing

He was also the first leader to suspend military cooperation with Russia, and was decisive in applying sanctions against Russia. Canada has provided more than $568 million in aid and loans, in addition to humanitarian aid and mobile field hospital support. On the 24th anniversary of Ukraine’s independence in August, Stephen Harper said: “Canada became the first Western country to proudly recognize Ukraine’s sovereignty, and since that time Canadian-Ukrainian relations have only grown stronger‌ Canada has benefited greatly from the contributions of our dynamic
Ukrainian-Canadian community‌ in the building of a strong, proud and free Canada. Our Conservative government stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the Ukrainian people. I believe Canada has a moral obligation to stand for democracy, freedom, human rights, peace and security around the world. As a country, and throughout our history, we have always done so. These are the principles and the approach I believe in, because I know they are the best for Canada, for Alberta and for us in Lakeland.

Opinion Feds give community newspapers a good slap in the face The Federal Government spent over $75 million on advertising in 2013/14 according to recently released data, yet roughly only one percent was spent advertising with community newspapers. This is true despite the fact that newspapers are historically the place people go to find relevant political information and with government advertising solely to inform taxpayers (presumably), you'd think it would be the perfect fit. But the fact is that the Feds spent more with advertising agencies, paying to direct them where to spend their advertising dollars, than they actually spent with the more than 1,000 English and French community newspapers in Canada distributing more than 20 million copies in print alone every week. Slap! Despite newspaper numbers, the Federal Government in its wisdom spent 30 times as much in the TV medium where non-commercial Pay Per View programming is destroying the relevancy of conventional paid TV commercials. Those programs still with commercials are having them
skipped over due to PVRs (personal video recorders). The next bulk of advertising money spent by the Federal Government was internet advertising, in fact some $15.5 million. Because the internet is owned by Americans, the Feds have decided that it is more prudent to spend 16 times more with US internet owners like Google and Facebook than with the taxpaying Canadians who own and operate community newspapers. Slap! Yet when there is a photo opportunity where does your government go for free publicity to highlight how wonderful they are giving the Bingo Club a $500 grant to buy more daubers? You guessed it, community newspapers. In fact, you might be surprised to know that both the Provincial and Federal governments often have put stipulations on grants that encourage the benefactors to convince the community newspaper to come and take a photo of the cheque presentation. In other words newspapers have to supply labour and travel expenses to take the photo, then also pro-
vide free space in the publication they pay to have printed, so that a local community group may benefit from grant money but more importantly promote the government. Slap! As well, most would agree that honourable, ethical journalism is more important these days than ever, because of the shoddy reporting produced in the exact same internet the government supports. Yet instead of supporting journalism in the form of reputable community newspapers, the Feds spent $1.25 million with the News Canada service, writing and submitting its own government stories for distribution. Slap! Maybe some day when there are no newspapers left to call for bingo dauber photos, an appreciation might be had for the craft instead of community newspapers just being taken for granted.

Lakeland Petition Committee sets the record straight We are writing because we are concerned with some of the information the Lakeland REA Board sent to members in August. As members of the REA, we wanted to get the facts straight, so we did our homework. What we discovered was that it looks like a lot of the information the Board is putting out seems to be false. It concerns us that the Board is calling ATCO Electric’s purchase offer a “hostile takeover” attempt. As members, it’s up to us to let the Board know what we would like to do with the assets we own. So we’d like to make up our own mind on the future of our REA. Why did the LREA Board refuse the purchase offer from ATCO without letting me or any other member see it first? We have a right to know all our options, without using scare tactics. The Board also claimed that ATCO did not have the ‘necessary informa-

tion to formulate a fair purchase offer.’ We’d like to have the opportunity to ask some questions and to make up our own mind about that too. ATCO said that if there was anything missed, they would review and adjust their offer; that seems fair and reasonable to us. The Board also claimed that there are other ‘inherent values’ that were not captured in the purchase offer. Things like ‘compensation for the loss of utility right of way ownership’, the ‘value of the infrastructure’ that Lakeland REA owns, and the ‘top-notch condition’ the REA is in because of ‘diligent operations and maintenance’. So here are just some of the things we’d like answers to: • What difference would it make if it was Lakeland REA staff or ATCO Electric staff to access a right of way to conduct system repairs and maintenance?
Kerry Anderson Publisher
• In terms of infrastructure, we’d like to know exactly what the Board is referring to. Things like equipment and office supplies? We don’t think that’s part of the offer. • How can our REA be in top-notch condition when we don’t even have a standard pole maintenance program in place? The Board also tried to scare us by saying we’d be losing an office in the center of Lakeland REA. We don’t see that as being an issue when Lakeland REA has only five servicemen based in the area, and ATCO Electric has 5 servicemen in Vegreville & Two Hills, 5 in Vermilion, 3 in Smoky Lake, 5 in St. Paul and access to more than 100 service staff throughout the area. Not only that but we made some calls and asked some more questions and found out that their main hub for monitoring the entire transmission and distribution system is right in Vegreville.

While we can appreciate all the hard work and dedication it took to build and run the REA and fully support the legacy of what they have built over the last 65 years, we think it’s time we look to the future. This doesn’t mean sell or not sell, it just means if we all speak up and inform ourselves and make our opinion clear. Then the REA will truly be moving in the direction the Membership wishes to go – not the Board. We hope that you’ll take the time to do your homework, too - ask questions of the Board and hold them accountable for providing us with honest and timely information. We can choose to accept or decline ATCO Electric’s offer, but it is our right as members to make that decision. Sincerely, Members of the Lakeland REA Petition Committee

OP-ED: If safety was the goal farm families would know best
Grant Hunter As many of you have heard, Alberta’s new Agriculture Minister has announced plans to extend Occupational Health and Safety legislation to farmers. The announcement came with no legal details or timeline, or even an explanation of how the policy shift would impact family farms across Alberta. Rather, it seems this decision was made without speaking to farmers at all.
The vast majority of those actively working on family farms across Alberta have consistently opposed this policy. In 2009, the provincial government consulted more than 20 stakeholder groups regarding farm safety. The majority felt that legislation was the wrong approach, choosing to focus on increased education and training instead. A follow up consultation was held in 2010, this time including all of the larger commodity groups, representing more than 50,000 producers. Coming out of these consultations the government formed the 15-member Farm Safety Advisory Council. Like the previous stakeholders groups and commodity groups, the Advisory Council once again opted against extending onerous OHS bureaucracy. The Advisory
Council’s report, which was released publicly in 2013 but is no longer available on the department’s website, provided four recommendations that would lead to tangible improvement in safety. I personally support the work done by the Advisory Council, which included seven farmers in addition to government, union, and stakeholder group representation. The fact is nobody is impacted by farm safety regulations more than farmers and their families, and nobody has more practical experience. As the Advisory Group pointed out, food processors, greenhouses, mushroom farms, nurseries, sod farms, landscapers, and pet breeder/boarders are already covered by OHS legislation. Workers’ Compensation Board insurance, as well as
commercial insurance, is available to farmers and ranchers on a voluntary basis. In addition, all farm workers are protected under the Employment Standard Code. With these protections in place, it increasingly looks like the Agriculture Minister is playing politics rather than looking to improve safety. As we have seen in the past, imposing bureaucratic solutions on residents for such purposes is unnecessarily divisive. The other problem the Minister will face is on the enforcement angle of any legislation he may try and bring forward on this. Alberta has the most expensive government it Canada. It’s wasteful and mismanaged. How can farmers be assured new farm safety measures will be enforced in a way that is ethical, efficient and responsive? They can’t. This leaves
Alberta producers vulnerable to the whims of government bureaucrats, which is not a fair plan for producers. The NDP government is clearly driven to bring down this legislation despite what farmers, producers or advisory councils have to say. The fact is making any change to OHS policy without an honest attempt to gather feedback from family farmers would be counterproductive and the wrong
plan for Alberta. It is already difficult enough to keep family farms within the family. Adding more paperwork and costs won’t make things better it will drive out small farmers. If safety is the goal, the smart move is to listen to farmers. Grant Hunter is the Wildrose Official Opposition Shadow Jobs Minister and the MLA for Cardston—Taber—Warner

For Trustees, back to school feels much like it does for students The first day back to school is always exciting for students—they find out what everyone did over the summer, reconnect with friends, meet new classmates, and start to build on what they learned from the year previous. F o r trustees, the first Board meeting of every school
Trina Boymook
year has a similar feel. We get caught up on the progress of the division’s various projects—typically the capital and school-maintenance projects. This year, one of our most interesting updates was from our Facility Services department, which has had one of its busiest years ever with various renovation projects underway and the overseeing of a replacement school, a modernization, and two new urban schools. At the meeting there was also a lot of energy and excitement in the air as trustees welcomed new and returning system leaders, teachers, central office staff, bus operators, and bus contractors—all of whom are setting the stage for another successful school year. Last year, the Board put a great deal of time into developing its 2015–2018 Three-Year Education Plan, which outlines three key priorities for EIPS: promote growth and success for all student; enhance highquality learning and working environments; and enhance public education through effective engagement, partnerships, and communica-
tion. Throughout the 2015–2016 school year, the Board will be putting plans in place to build on and implement these priorities. The upcoming year also promises to be an interesting one, filled with new opportunities and challenges. EIPS is preparing for a new provincial Education Act, expecting a new provincial budget this fall, anticipating some directional shifts within Alberta Education given the new government, and planning for added investments in capital projects to meet both the needs of our growing communities and our aging infrastructure. It’s an exciting time to be a school board trustee. And, like our students, we are filled with optimism about the 2015–2016 school year!

Glenn Wayne Albert Hennig of Hilliard, Alberta, left us very suddenly on September 3rd, 2015. He was born on March 22, 1952 and graduated from Mundare High School. He was married to Diane Hennig (nee Forbes) and is the only son to Alberta and Olga Hennig. Glenn was a farmer for 35 years, working 20 of those years at Sherritt-Gordon in Fort Saskatchewan and was actively involved with the PC Party, Lakeland REA and served as Chairman of the Board for PDD for 10 years. He was known for his passion for politics, perpetually upbeat nature and peculiar affection for Ford Aerostars. In his spare time, Glenn could be found with his two grandsons working on projects ranging from constructing clubhouses with secret compartments to pilfering parts from neighbourhood lawn mowers to build a homemade go-kart. Glenn is survived by his loving family, his wife Diane; three children Jennifer (Christopher) Salyers and Glynnis (Scott) Penny and Heather Hennig; as well as two grandsons Cameron and David Salyers; parents Albert and Olga Hennig; two sisters Wendy (Ken) Motiuk and Yvonne (Don) McClymont; mother-in-law Marilyn Forbes. A Prayer Service was held on Thursday, September 10, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. at the Mundare Recreation Centre. A Christian Memorial Service and Celebration of Resurrection for Glenn Wayne Albert Hennig was held on Friday, September 11, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at Bethlehem Lutheran Church - Bruderheim (5008 – 50 St) with Reverend Richard Williams officiating. Cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that donations be made in Glenn’s name to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Alberta.

Skinner is planning to be there in person to accept the AUMA Award of Excellence along with his wife and CAO Sandi Maschmeyer, who he feels are also deserving of recognition. Skinner received congratulations from other members of council at the September 8th meeting, and he thanked his colleagues for all of their support. To win an Award of Excellence, Skinner said you must be nominated by council. “For them to show me that kind of support is very meaningful,” he added. The purpose of the award is to recognize outstanding civic leadership by

From Where I Sit: Road Trip
By Hazel Anaka One day while visiting a city library I browsed through their discards to see if I wanted anything for my own collection. That day I bought my first audio books.
No, technically that’s not true. I have many, many personal development books and presentations on cassette tapes. Cassette tapes. They may as well be eight tracks. Some day I may figure out a way to convert this investment of hundreds of dollars to CDs. Until then, I keep them. If I wanted to listen to them at home I’m sure we’ve got a cassette player kicking around somewhere. However, my preferred listening time is when I’m driving. And for that reason I give any books on cassettes a wide berth. I also have never paid full retail.
Naturally, that has limited my choices to what I find at second hand stores and library clearance bins. It reminds me of Forrest Gump’s pronouncement that ‘life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get.’ Selection may vary. This crapshoot of choice has broadened my horizons though I haven’t been able to start the one about a werewolf. Others like a James Patterson one felt like someone was poking my eardrum. The formulaic writing and inadequacy of his word choices felt like an insult. On the up side the ran-
domness of buying what someone else has discarded has introduced me to authors like Tami Hoag who I’d never experienced before. There is a decided difference between reading a book and listening to one. Granted, it’s just as easy to be distracted using either format. With the audio books I shut it off during city driving. I need undivided focus for both the driving and the listening. With a book in hand, it’s easy to glaze over the boring parts or lose focus depending on what’s happening in the room or how tired one is. I’ve learned that while I always considered
myself a visual person, I am captivated by beautifully lyrical words well performed. Recently I finished Frank McCourt’s Tis read by the author. I laughed out loud at his self-effacing, honest portrayal of his own naiveté. Sidney Poitier’s memoir Measure of a Man featured his silky, sexy voice. I’ve found some gems that warrant re-listening: The Secret Life of Bees, The Yiddish Policemen’s Union, The Tin Roof Blowdown, A Cup of Friendship, The Alchemist. I found Joan Didion’s The Magical Year of Thinking a tough slog on
paper yet loved it on CD. Surely the change was in me not the memoir itself. Sometimes, I try to kill two birds with one stone: be entertained and learn. I loved Sarah Ban Breathnach’s Romancing the Ordinary, Joel Osteen’s Become a Better You, Deepak Chopra’s Grow Younger, Live Longer, Howard Dully’s My Lobotomy. Thrillers provide outright escapism. Soon I’m gonna need a cross Canada road trip for Ayn Rand’s 50 CDs unabridged Atlas Shrugged, from where I sit.
Elite Edge Figure Skating a new alternative in the region Michelle Pinon Editor
If you are looking for top notch coaching in the sport of figure skating, then look no further than Platinum Elite Edge. Head coach and o w n e r T r a c y Doctor and her assistant Jared Fell will be Head Coach offering Tracy Doctor competitive, test focused lessons specialized in singles and ice dance starting this fall in Mundare and Redwater. Doctor and Fell will be on the ice in early october and welcome figure skaters of all ages, including adults. The coaching duo will be taking a personalized approach, and complete an extensive profile of each and every skater to create a customized lesson plan to meet their goals, improve their technique, and allow them to reach the highest level of achievement possible to maximize their potential. Doctor adds that parents will be a key part of the decision making process to ensure that expectations are met so their money is well invested.
Fell, who was born and raised in Vegreville is a former junior national champion and Elite Edge’s dance specialist. He knows what it takes to compete and be successful at the elite level in Canada. Fell is a home grown talent and excellent role model for girls and boys, but especially boys, as the negative stereotypical image of boys in figure skating still exists. He is hoping to erase misconceptions and the stigma surrounding boys, and has already gotten off to a great start as there already are two boys who are registered in ice dance. Elite Edge will also be offering Star Skate Lessons, which is an officially sanctioned Skate Canada program. The company will also be offering a junior program for beginners or for folks who have not had formal lessons. There will also be semi-private lessons and off ice training available as well. Lessons will start after school Mondays and Thursdays in Mundare and on Wednesdays in Redwater. “Our aim is to get to the elite competitive level in the next two years,” points out Doctor. Periodically, guest coach Sandra Nageli will be offering specialized instruction. Doctor says Nageli has 40 years of coaching underneath her blades, and is excited about the partnership. Doctor is also hoping to offer different types of clinics with current competitive

Heartland 101: Break It Down Fractionation in Action
SUBMITTED ARTICLE Consider milk. While whole milk is useful, it provides maximum value when separated into its components. Further processing then produces fluid milk, butter, ice cream, cheese and more. The process of breaking down or separating to increase value is used every day in Alberta’s Industrial Heartland. Fractionation – or separating a mixture into different portions – is a common way to add value to natural gas resources. Natural Gas Aplenty With new discoveries of shale gas in Alberta and northeastern British Columbia, there is an abundant supply of nat-
ural gas. Not only is the natural gas readily available, it’s also at historically low prices. This has created a surge of new investments in natural gas fractionation. Companies add value to natural gas by separating or fractionating it into its components which can then be used in a number of different and more valuable ways. C What? Understanding how fractionation works starts at the natural gas well head. Natural gas is extracted from the ground as a combination of gases including methane (C1), ethane (C2), propane (C3), and butane (C4), where the number indicates how many carbon molecules

in each compound. First, the methane and other materials such as sulphur are extracted. This leaves a mixture of ethane, propane, and butane known as natural gas liquids or NGLs. These liquids are then shipped via pipeline to companies with fractionators in the Heartland and elsewhere. Fractionation in Action In the fractionation process, the NGL mixture is separated into streams or fractions. Once separated, the gases are used for further processing in Alberta or prepared for export. Within the Heartland, major fractionation expansions are underway at Pembina, Plains Midstream, and Keyera Energy. This will prepare for increased volumes of NGLs expected from shale gas. The resulting additional output of products such as ethane and propane may provide new opportunities for existing and new petrochemical operations in the region. All of these fractionation operations are an important part of the overall energy value chain and a major contributor to the local economy.

Plenty of feedback at pre-budget consultation meeting Michelle Pinon Editor
Highway 15 was one of the issues top of mind for Bruderheim town councillor Wayne Olechow who was one of about 50 elected officials, business leaders and residents who attended the pre-budget consultation meeting at the Dow Centennial Centre in Fort Saskatchewan last Thursday. The meeting, co-hosted by Fort SaskatchewanVegreville MLA Jessica Littlewood and SturgeonAthabasca MLA Colin Piquette, generated several questions and concerns. For Olechow, he wanted to know what are the future plans for Highway 15. “Over the past few years traffic has gotten worse. There are a lot more semi’s and vehicles on the highway, it is very busy and dangerous. This highway was never built for this amount of traffic and it needs to be twinned.” Littlewood said a lot of people wanted to talk about transportation, Highway 15 as well as the need for a heavy haul bridge and improvements to the intersection of Highways 825, 37, and 15. Even though Littlewood said Highway 15 is in the 10 year
transportation plan, Olechow said he would like to see this h i g h w a y incorporated in the three to five year plan. Littlewood agreed that transportation is top of mind for people around here, MLA Jessica Littlewood and she said the issues should be looked at in a holistic way as it affects all people. Littlewood said another huge concern of attendees was Municipal Sustainability Initiative (MSI), and the desire for longevity of the grant program. “They (attendees), want stable and predictable funding, so the Municipal Affairs Minister will be reviewing that in the review.” She added that libraries are also wanting stable, per capita funding, over several years, not
just on a year by year basis. Lamont County Reeve Wayne Woldanski voiced his concerns regarding the strengthening of environmental regulations, and how that can hinder start up operations of businesses. Susan Campbell, community development officer with the Town of Mundare works with a variety of non-profit groups, but attended the meeting as a voter in Chipman, and volunteer with the local food bank and adult learning council. As such, she was recommending to Littlewood and Piquette they make efforts to streamline searches among government departments, and lessen the burden of the application and reporting process to non-profit groups. Another concern by business owners is the raising of the minimun wage that will take effect on October 1st. Others wanted to know how to make submissions on the Royalty Review. Littlewood suggested that any residents who were not able to attend the meeting, but would like to provide input to email her at: fortsaskatchewan.vegreville@assembly.ab.ca
