This is a view from Andy Good Peak on July 3. The peak is named after a man who guided in the area and built a bar straddling the Alberta and British Columbia border at the turn of the century. The hike was 24.2 kms through the Promise Lands with a 1242m verticle climb to the summit. Publisher Lisa Sygutek said it was the most difficult of the 27 peaks she’s climbed in the past year.

DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

The following topics were discussed at the Regular Council Meeting on Tuesday, July 6th.

Contract Approval for Concrete and Asphalt Repairs Municipal Stimulus Program grant funding and operational rehabilitation budget were pooled together under one tender for the construction of multiuse trails and the annual road and curb/sidewalk rehabilitation program for a final negotiated value of $621,737.28. The contract value requires ratification from Council as per the Procurement of Goods and Services Policy. Three responses were received from the posted tender, as summarized below: Tollestrup for $759,096.27, McNally for $578,896.97 and East Butte for $514,952.40. Following negotiations for changes in quantities as a result of additional funds available from the grant, a final contract cost of $621,737.28 was established with East Butte Construction. Operational budget accounts for $337,500, and the remainder is provided by the Municipal Stimulus Program grant. Councillor Filipuzzi made a motion to award the 2021 Concrete and Asphalt work to East Butte Construction Ltd. for the amount of 621,737.28. The motion was carried.

Repeal of Non-Relevant Policies Administration has begun the process of reviewing all policies that are still on the books. This process has identified nu-

merous policies that are now outdated, irrelevant or redundant, and therefore they should be repealed.

Since a policy was put into place by a motion of Council, they must be removed in the same way. Administration has also identified several that would require a rewrite as they are not in our proper format and/or need to be updated. Prior to undertaking this effort, Administration will check in with Council to ensure that the policy is still desired by Council. This will happen at a later date.

The following policies were suggested to Council as one’s that were no longer needed and the reasoning for the suggested repeal.

1301-01 - Developing Policies and Procedures This has a useful guide but does not have any guiding policy statements.

ADM-001 - Remuneration for Members at Large on the Assessment Review Board - This is no longer relevant. ADM-002 - Municipal Bidding and Tendering Process - This is no longer relevant. Handled under 1702-02 Procurement of Goods and Services ADM-004 - Land Sales and Road Closure Procedures - This is not relevant as there are no guiding policy statements.

ADM-006 - Criminal Record Check Policy - This is handled by the RCMP and is not under our jurisdiction. ADM-008 - Offer to Purchase Agreement for Vacant Lands - The standard purchasing agreement has been revised.

ADM-011 - Civic Addressing - This is no longer relevant, handled under the Civic Addressing Bylaw.

ADM-013 - Land Sales Document Retention - This is no longer relevant, handled as part of Records Retention Bylaw.

CNL-004 - Mail Handling Policy - This is no longer relevant. Updates have been done by email to reflect Council's wishes.

CNL-007 - Board and Committee Appointments This is not relevant as there are no guiding policy statements. DV-001 - Rezoning Application Fees - This is no longer relevant, handled in the Fees, Rates & Charges Bylaw. DV-005 Development Agreement Form - This is no longer relevant. Handled as part of 2006-02 Subdivision and Development Securities Policy.

DV-006 - Cash Reserve in Lieu of Land Dedication - This is handled under Section 667 of the MGA. HR009 - Personnel Records This is no longer relevant, handled as part of Records Retention Bylaw.

HR-010 - Management in Lieu of Time - This is no longer relevant. Management employment terms are set by contract.

HR-017 - Communications Policy - This is no longer relevant. Handled as part of the Website and Social Media Posting Policy and the Public Participation Policy.

PW-005 - Subdivision Development Agreements This is no longer relevant, handled as part of 2006-02 Subdivision and Development Securities Policy.

Drone Policy - This is not relevant given proximity to Blairmore Helipad.

Councillor Ward made a motion to repeal these non-relevant policies and

the motion was carried.

Road Naming Administration has been working for some time now to name 3 unnamed roads within the community. The naming conventions have resulted in several iterations with the landowners and have concluded the following preferred names: Powderkeg Drive, Grassy Mountain Road and Golf Course Road. Here is the location of each discussed road. Powderkeg Drive This road is from 16 Avenue to the Pass Powderkeg Ski Lodge. This will allow easy identification that this is the access to the Ski Lodge. The naming convention was discussed with Pass Powderkeg Ski Hill. Grassy Mountain Road - This will be from the T-intersection of 129 Street and 25 Ave up to Grassy Mountain. This will allow easy identification that this is the access to Grassy Mountain. The former road location will be removed during construction of the loadout facility and the road signage has already been removed. The naming convention was discussed with Riversdale Resources. Golf Course Road - This will be from Grassy Mountain Road to the Golf Clubhouse. This will allow easy identification that this is the access to the Golf Clubhouse. The naming convention was discussed with the Crowsnest Pass Golf Course. Councillor Sygutek made a motion to accept the naming of Grassy Mountain Road, Powderkeg Drive and Golf Course Road. The motion was carried.

The Simple Raven’s Post

by Avner Perl

Converting to dollars A young man wanted to follow a certain Rabbi from Nazareth. First, he needed to bury his father. Another did the same, but needed to do something with his fields.

Another had a similar story. They were all told by the Rabbi to rid themselves of the money concerns and just come and they all couldn’t. Poor fishermen and a few women joined.

In my life, I faced similar situations a few times. I thought that working in recreation, a job designed to help people mentally and physically, I could safely follow my Christian morality and make a living, but I couldn’t. My boss during my annual performance review gently told me that I must consider what is a moral decision and what is a business decision. At work, they paid me with money funnelled from a political party and I had to make business decisions.

Later in my career, I found myself involved in committees that dealt with the gentrification of parts of the City. Our mission was to clean up areas and get rid of humans considered undesirable. It was tied to property values and corporate investments. Definitely a business decision. When you have a clear mission, you do the job and we all did.

Where did the undesirables go? They were chased around, always landing in a new older neighbourhood where crime soon soared and they moved to another place. To fix the problem permanently would have taken a lot more than what we could do. We would have had to change what society values.

A few people in every group have no pride and are willing to live on charity or beg for sustenance. Some fake it and enrich themselves with donations. Most are keen to be useful. Given an opportunity, most people will work, learn, and seek recognition. Olympic athletes will try to be the best even if the crowd is not there to cheer.

Humans excel by working together. We admire stars, heroes, or even beautiful people, but our biggest achievements result from many people working together.

For that, we need to know the right stories.

We have been telling ourselves stories that are the opposite of what the Nazarene told us. Even the churches do. Governments are completely sold on the idea that material success is supreme. We could classify all the countries that used to colonize parts of the world as antichristian, even those who didn’t send crusaders to exterminate the opposing religions. I am not surprised that so many folks left the

churches and don’t have faith in governments.

People measure their personal success by how much money they have or control. They make sure that money is in short supply so they alone will have most, or inflation takes over and the economy crashes. The competition is fierce and the victims are many.

A good example of how the system works we will see in the immediate future.

The country of Lebanon, which used to be known as the jewel of the Middle East, is now on the verge of bankruptcy. Bank owners and corporate high rollers drained its resources and millions are facing starvation.

Another sign of bad stories are the rich or famous men. Their nature drives them to try their best to impregnate as many females as they can and leave them to raise the young on their own. There are stories about a past president of the USA spreading his oats and it does not deter his so-called Christian followers at all. People are mesmerized by his success instead.

We name ourselves “Christian” countries but we are only two hundred years removed from selling and buying human beings. In our countries, we still practice trafficking girls for sex. All our actions are assigned a monetary value and we gear all our efforts in life towards increasing and hoarding more value.

People consider time that is not spent to produce wealth or its equivalent as a wasted life. You have to make something, socially advance yourself or travel, or you haven’t lived. If you go walking you brag about the trails you walked or the mountains you climbed, or you don’t do it.

I propose a new story told long ago. In that story, people measure success by loving and making life more enjoyable for all living things, including the planet we inhabit. A planet that provides us with our existence and gives life to all the creatures upon it, free of charge. A place in the vast universe that can be the heaven people die to be in, in exchange for minimal well-directed effort.

I don’t think that we must give all our possessions and experiences away, only need to work together for reducing suffering and helping those less capable. When we don’t compete to dominate and hoard, we have enough leftovers to feed all who are created.

If I will have time to reflect on my life before I die, what will I think about? Will I say I produced something in great quantities? Will I brag about the size of my home? Will I show a map of the places I travelled to? Will I tell those around me how much money I amassed by denying others basic comforts?

I think I will remember tender moments. My first interaction with my wife, the first time I held my child and attending her/his graduation, or being around a dying friend providing comfort. I will think about speaking up against the kids bullying a poor child in school or picking up a stray cat feeding it. I will remember the smell of the pines in the early morning when the fog blurs the mountains.

Life is not about the zeros in our bank accounts or the bling surrounding us, it is about the simple things that we exchange with the rest of God’s creation. If we must fight, let it be a fight for justice, not for power and money. That is when He blesses our sword.

Crowsnest Pass Regulation – what we stand to lose DaviD SelleS

19.

Pass Herald Reporter

The Municipality sent a letter On May 11, 2020 to the Minister requesting a one year extension and received a response on June 2, 2020 indicating that the expiration date was originally extended to January 31, 2021 as part of the Regulations Expiry Date Extension Regulation 47/2020 that came into effect on March 31, 2020.

Chief Administrative Officer, Patrick Thomas, says it has been extended again until August 31, 2022.

The municipality has also been told that it will not be extended again

In the time since Council last discussed the Crowsnest Pass Regulation last year, more news has come to light.

The Crowsnest Pass Regulation was originally set to expire on August 31, 2020.

From discussions with the Minister of Municipal Affairs in the Fall of 2019, the Provincial Government does not have a desire to renew the Regulation.

Further discussions were to have occurred at the Spring RMA convention although these did not happen due to Covid-

past that date.

Some initial points are that without the Regulation the way that policing is calculated will change, less grant money will be available and the area that fire bylaws can be enacted may be unclear, although it may actually alleviate our issues with adjusting our urban boundary with the FPA. The provision regarding adjusting land boundaries will not be as simple, however it is not likely that this will be easily executed anyway.

Mayor Painter says the way this act was created, the municipality had multiple advantages

overall.

“Some things worked to our advantage with this regulation and we can use it to our advantage. We had flexibility with this act. We can twist the rules to our advantage.”

Mayor Painter says the biggest gain this act gave the municipality came in the way of funding.

“The biggest thing was how we achieved our funding for our municipality. The ways that grant money and provincial or federal funding is allocated is done by population. When it comes to our MSI funding, how

that's typically calculated is if we were to say we have 5,700 people in the Crowsnest Pass, we are going to get x number of dollars. We can use our old communities separately to gain more revenue and manipulate these grants so that we actually have a better outcome.”

The act also provided an advantage in paying for policing.

“When it comes to paying for RCMP policing is a huge one. Communities under 5,000 don't pay for policing typically. The province has changed that now so things are a little bit dif-

Invested in rural Alberta.

Invested in Pincher Creek.

On August 1, Pincher Creek Credit Union will join with Vision Credit Union to serve the community of Pincher Creek. With this merger, Pincher Creek members will have access to the robust services and benefits that go along with being part of a credit union with branches in 16 rural Alberta communities. They’ll also enjoy the exceptional service and familiar faces they’ve come to expect from their local credit union. Learn more about the benefits of rural banking with Vision Credit Union.

ferent but when this regulation was put in place that was what was happening. Obviously if we say the municipality is 5,700 people, we're going to pay for RCMP policing.

Those costs are substantial. With the regulation, we can view it as five communities under 5,000.

So we're not mandated to pay for policing.”

The act isn’t all positive though.

“The thorn in our side with this act is there's a couple of things we don't like. First of all, not all departments in government consider this act when we're looking for grant funding or different requests. We have to constantly keep reminding them of this act. Also, it's really concerning for us with our boundaries for our fire protection,” said Mayor Painter.

“These are things that we as a municipality have been working on for years to try and address and make changes to. The province has been really reluctant to and it's all because of this act.”

Mayor Painter says the municipality is focusing on tweaking the act while the province wants to eliminate it.

“This act is not perfect for the Crowsnest Pass. It needs some tweaking for it to work better. The situation we're in right now is that the province wants to eliminate this act. We don't want it eliminated, we want it reworked because if we eliminate this act and we're back to the way we were prior to this act coming into effect, we will lose about $700,000 in municipal and federal funding.”

Without this act, the municipality will lose that $700,000, which would clearly affect what the municipality is able to do on a year to year basis.

“This act gives another $700,000 of funding that if we were treated like any other community, would not be eligible for,” said Mayor Painter.

Mayor Painter says Council has not had more discussion on this with the province as of yet.

"It was extended and we haven't had any other discussion with the province on this. They told us it was meant as a temporary measure."

Mayor Painter says he expects another discussion on this to come back to Council following the summer break.

Letters to the the Editor

Editorial If you look on page 15 of the paper you will see that a public meeting is scheduled for July 22nd at the Hillcrest Miners Club to discuss Grassy Mountain and the review process.

The meeting is organized by a number of concerned residents, and is an opportunity for community members to meet and discuss what happened with the Joint Review Panel, the impact it will have on the community should Riversdale pack up shop and leave and the future of coal exploration in this area.

In attendance at the venue will be experts who suspect that the coal policy review may have been unduly influenced, a speaker on modern day coal mining and impact statements on people and businesses affected.

I have been personally contacted by dozens of people who are angry, confused and upset but have no venue in which to gather. This Concerned Citizen’s Meeting is such a venue.

Do you remember when the NDP government shut down the Castle area to motorized vehicles and 600 people showed up to protest at a public meeting at MDM? Well this is your chance to show up and voice your concerns over what has happened here in the Crowsnest Pass. Apathy for this mine by those who wanted it put us in this position. Those who did not want the mine, they organized, they used their voices and they got their way.

The Livingstone Landowners Group got their way. They continue to attempt to shut down our mines, with protests, letter writing campaigns, country singers, posters and political pressure. Now it’s your turn as citizens of YOUR community to stand up and fight for your right to be prosperous.

If no one shows up that is a statement, if hundreds show up that is also a statement. It’s really up to you to stand up for what you want. I get that it’s summer, I get that it’s a Thursday night, but if you want these mines, if you want your community to move forward with industry and progression you need to get off your butts and fight for it.

I just found out that the Council of Canadians whose Mission Statement is the following: “The Council of Canadians brings people together through collective action and grassroots organizing to challenge corporate power and advocate for people, the planet and our democracy,” is encouraging a letter writing campaign to be sent to Premier Kenney, Minister Savage and Minister Nixon to, “share your story of why the mountains matter to you and ask that they recommend a ‘no coal’ policy not a new coal policy”.

Montem Resources was named at the beginning of the email as it started with a celebration of the Tent Mountain’s need for a federal impact assessment.

Groups like this have created a speedbump for Riversdale and now they are gunning for Montem as they systematically work to shut down mining in Alberta.

So this is YOUR chance to use YOUR voice, this is YOUR chance to let the Government of Alberta know what the Crowsnest Pass is made of. This is YOUR chance to take back your community and it’s future prosperity. Apathy has done us no good.

I will be at the meeting and I hope every person that called me shows up as I am interested in what everyone has to say.

A while ago I was accosted outside Pass Beer by a lady in the community who told me that I was a horrible person for supporting mining. I just found out that her husband now works for one of the mines across the border. I find it ironic that coal is not good enough for our community to prosper, yet Teck good enough in British Columbia to support her family. We all should have the opportunity to have gainful employment, industry, amenities and lower taxes. Coal mining would provide this, so if you want an opportunity to have a voice show up and use it. If you are anti-mining please don’t bother coming because quite frankly you have had your allotment of air space.

Hope to see you on Thursday, July 22 at 6:30 at the Hillcrest Miners Club as we show the Government of Alberta what the Crowsnest Pass is made of.

If you don’t come, you don’t get the right to cry when your taxes are high and the majority of employment here is minimum wage.

You will be missed Dear Editor;

There is a special person that needs to be recognized. This person is Ian McKenzie. Ian has been with the Memorial Society for a few years.

Not only has Ian been busy with writing a history book about the Crowsnest graveyards, but putting in extra time with Darrell Sydora fixing the headstones that have

Process Failure Dear Editor;

The joint review panel for the Grassy Mountain coal project turned down the application, stating that the proposed project would have “low to moderate positive economic impacts on the regional economy.” Let’s look at this a little closer. $800 million would be spent on building the Grassy Mine complex, which is a huge influx of capital into the region.

Tax revenue directly to the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass and the MD of Ranchland was estimated at $1.5 million per year and taxes to provincial and federal coffers were estimated at $1.7 billion over the life of the project.

There would be 500 jobs during construction, and 400 permanent jobs.

Four hundred permanent jobs at a modest $100,000 per year would yield an annual cash expenditure of $40 million in salaries

alone to southern Alberta residents. Eleven hundred indirect jobs even at $50,000 per year would yield $55 million to southern Alberta residents.

The estimated total expenditures by the development yearly would exceed $150 million, and yet the review panel decision says that this would have “low to moderate positive economic impacts on the regional economy.”

How absurd a statement is that? How corrupt was the process that led to a negative decision for the Grassy Mountain coal project? I would say the review panel and process has been caught in a lie! Name another facility in southern Alberta that is as large as this one and that generates as much capital. Once identified as a liar, can anyone believe other statements made by the review panel?

toppled over. He has also been involved every year with the clean up of the graveyards with the help of volunteers which everyone is grateful.

Ian will be missed very much. He and his family will be moving

soon to newer adventures and also his input into the Memorial Society will be missed.

We all wish Ian the very best and a big thank you for all that he’s done for the community.

It’s hard to believe that the review panel and the supporting government bureaucrats and biologists could not properly assess, condition and frame the development in terms of the three pillars of sustainability, and balance social, environmental and economic concerns.

It is hard to believe that professionals for Riversdale could work so hard and receive a slap in the face, namely a judgement without recourse.

This is unheard of in a civilized, sane country.

What government could issue exploration permits and never allow actual development? This is an Alberta embarrassment for sure.

Those leading the review process and support staff are likely less skilled than the company experts making the submissions.

Less skilled and on the dole, so to speak, and their assessments are completed, under-exaggerating economics, and

an obvious bias and failure in process can be seen.

Perhaps a GoFundMe page for the Municipality of Crowsnest Pass can be set up and we poor residents can plot out the dollars donated by groups such as the Livingstone Landowners, Alberta Wilderness Association, the grazing lease holders, the mayor of High River, the singer poets, etc., towards assisting us in replacing, as a minimum, the $495,000 in lost municipal revenue per year that is the result of this negative decision for the Grassy Mountain coal project.

Liability to the Crown is imminent and could be costly. A common-sense review of the Riversdale Grassy Mountain mine project and review process is needed. A reinstatement of the process and a truly professional response that meets the expectations of the common informed citizens of this province is Tim Juhlin

John Pundyk.CoM

Simply Selles Musings from your local reporter I can’t believe I’m about to write the column I am in 2021.

This past Sunday was the final of the European Championships for soccer between Italy and England.

The final was played at the famous Wembley Stadium in London.

The game itself was entertaining with England scoring first just two minutes into the final, which was a tournament record for the fastest goal.

Italy came back and forced extra time before the game was finally decided in a penalty shootout.

This is where the topic I want to discuss enters.

Italy won 3-2 on penalties to take home the trophy.

All three players who missed their penalty kicks for England are black.

23-year-old Marcus Rashford, 21-year-old Jadon Sancho and 19-year-old Bukayo Saka.

That unfortunately led to massive amounts of racial abuse towards all three players.

Just moments after England loss, tweets and comments on their personal social media pages flooded in with racial abuse.

Fortunately, there were far more positive comments that tried to drown out the negatives but the fact that racism still exists today is simply disgusting.

The same people who were cheering these players on as they scored and assisted goals for their country to help England reach their first ever European final were now resorting to hateful and racist comments.

I simply can’t understand the reasoning behind this level of hate.

It’s sickening that these people can get away with these displays of racism without any repercussions.

It is so easy to create a nameless and picture less social media account to hide your identity and spew hatred at kids who just did the best they could for their country.

Oh yeah and let’s not forget this is ONLY A GAME. The English Football Association came out shortly after all the abuse began stating “The FA strongly condemns all forms of discrimination and is appalled by the online racism that has been aimed at some of our England players on social media. We could not be clearer that anyone behind such disgusting behaviour is not welcome in following the team. We will do all we can to support the players affected while urging the toughest punishments possible for anyone responsible.”

Many other organizations and teammates also made statements regarding the racism and online abuse.

While it’s obviously good these organizations and teammates are doing this, they shouldn’t need to in 2021.

They should instead simply be consoling their teammates after a heartbreaking loss in the biggest game of their lives.

They shouldn’t need to rally around these three kids who are facing online abuse and who just laid it all on the line in the most watched sporting event of the year.

It’s appalling that racism still exists today and it’s terrible how easy it is for people to get away with it in this day and age of social media.

Marcus Rashford even won an award this year for his humanitarian efforts in calling for the government to end child poverty in the UK and now he misses one penalty in a game and is abused for it?

People need to be better.

We are all humans and we all deserve respect.

There is absolutely no reason at all to have as deep a hate for other humans as was shown over the last few days.

Let’s all work towards being better and making the world a better place in general.

New Municipal Cemeteries Bylaw has first reading pass No more concrete gravestones in future burials DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

Council began the process of implementing a new Municipal Cemetery Bylaw during their Regular Council Meeting on Tuesday, July 6th.

In information presented to Council, the municipality’s current cemetery bylaw is outdated and in need of an upgrade to properly align with cemetery processes that are currently in place.

The last cemetery bylaw for the municipality was created in 1992.

Administration informed Council that research was conducted of other communities' cemetery bylaws to ensure current best practices were implemented.

All cemeteries within the Municipality are named within the bylaw ensuring that all cemeteries are falling under the same standards and regulations.

Administration also received valuable input from staff at Fantin's Funeral Chapel and they were an integral part of creating the new bylaw and provided guidance and direction as to current burial practices.

As previously directed by Council, a section has been added to the bylaw to establish that a perpetual care fund now forms part of the purchase price of plots.

One major note provided to Council during discussion on this bylaw is that concrete grave coverings will no longer be permitted due to deterioration and the challenges they present for ground maintenance in the cemeteries.

Councillor Sygutek asked for clarification regarding what type of graves will be allowed under the new bylaw.

"I just want to be clear, if you were to bury someone in the grave-

yards in the municipality, it would now be a grass area with a tombstone?"

CAO Thomas said that is the case.

Councillor Sygutek also asked for clarification on the existing cement grave coverings.

"If it's a grave that nobody is able to take care of and a concrete covering has fallen or broken, we will remove it and put proper landscaping in place. If it's an existing concrete covering and it's deteriorating and needs to be fixed, people will be able to repair it?"

CAO Thomas said repairs to concrete slabs would be allowed under the new bylaw.

"People would need to attain the cemetery work permit and they would be able to do that."

Following the discussion, Councillor Filipuzzi made a motion for first reading.

The motion was carried.

Revive the Roxy Update - Moving Forward into fall DaviD SelleS Pass Herald Reporter

Following successful fundraising efforts to purchase the building and have preliminary assessments done, The Revive the Roxy Project is continuing it's push forward.

Volunteers and board members have begun completing some minor work at the Roxy including a thorough cleaning of the inside and also adding some more security measures to the building.

Donald Budgen, Vice President of the Crowsnest Cando, the organization behind the Roxy Project, says they are currently completing important assessments.

"We are now doing our environmental assessment. We had a company out of Calgary come down and take samples.

They're looking for asbestos and all the stuff of that old time period.

There may be a bit of lead paint because it's of that generation in the 1940's.

As far as we can see from our preliminary report, it's everything we expected. The final report will be coming out in the next couple of weeks."

Budgen says that following the completion of the environmental assessment, more studies will need to be completed.

"The next stages could be engineering studies. There are a bunch of studies that still need to be done. We need to assess the structure of the building. Hopefully we'll be starting that type of thing in the fall."

More fundraising will also begin in the fall.

"We're all very happy Covid is over. It's been very difficult to fundraise.

We're very proud we were able to raise the money to buy the building during a Covid pe-

riod. Fundraising is such a challenge at the best of times. To not know what tomorrow is going to bring is really tough on the psyche for the volunteers."

Budgen says there is some disappointment on the fundraising side with the mine decision.

"It's disappointing about the government's decision about the mining in the Crowsnest Pass.

That's part of our fundraising model. Life goes on and we will adapt."

Crowsnest Cando and volunteers have begun getting out in the community more over the last while as well and plan to continue to make appearances at community events.

"We participated in the Canada Day parade.

We are going to be doing tours during the Doors Open Festival on the Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Each tour will have a limit of 20 people.

We're getting more in the public eye because Covid is over and now we can operate safely."

According to Budgen, another study that will be done is a historical study.

"Somebody will come down and do a historical assessment of the building to tell us what is historically significant, what is not and then also supply us with some guidance about we do what we need to do. If we clean the bricks, does it need to be done in a certain way to preserve the historical integrity of it? That will be another part of our assessments."

The roof of the building is another area that needs to be looked at.

"The next fundraising project starting in September will be going to the roof. The roof on the brick part of the building

needs to be repaired. We knew that when we began this project. It's essential to doing any sort of repairs inside the building. It's not worth putting the investment on the inside of the building if we don't know the roof is good long term. We want to, next spring, rip off the roof and build it like it's going to stand for another 35 years. That will be the key point of our next fundraising operation."

Budgen says the goal for the next phase of fundraising is $100,000.

Budgen says not all of that will go towards the roof but any money left over will go directly to the next projects on the list.

Budgen says they are also applying for more grants from the province to help with the project.

There is already interest from potential users who are looking and asking when they will be able to use the facility.

Budgen says that it's great people want to get in and use the facility but that they have to be prepared for when potential grants get approved.

"We have to be prepared that one day we might get a grant for x amount of money from the government. Once you promise a date, if we get a grant then we can't do anything because we've got an event happening now. We made that commitment. It makes it difficult for allowing use before the building is complete."

Overall Budgen is very excited about where things currently sit regarding the project.

"Everything is all very positive. It's still better than expectations were."

The Crowsnest Cando are also looking for any photos people

may have from the early years of the Roxy.

Budgen says they are looking for any photos pre 1960's of the Roxy theatre.

If anyone has any photos like that, Budgen says they would really appreciate if they could either be donated to the museum or scanned and brought to the museum to help build the archives.

People can also scan photos and send them to the email address on the Crowsnest Cando website.

"The goal is that especially, on the outside, it's a restoration project. The goal is to bring it back to 1947. The more photographs we have of that and even the inside of the lobby would be great as

well," said Budgen.

More information regarding the project will be available via newsletters beginning in September and updates will continue to be provided on the Crowsnest Cando website as well.

The Crowsnest Cando will also be holding their AGM in September.

During discussion, Councillor Ward mentioned he had seen a one bedroom apartment in Blairmore for rent that cost $1,100 a month plus utilities and says the Municipality needs to find ways to keep up with the demand here.

"We have a demand here and we have no supply. This project here, is going to go towards helping to fix the supply.

Firemans Park Upgrades Work is being completed on upgrades to Bellevue Fireman’s Park. The upgrades were necessary after the municipality completed an inspection of the playground and deemed it was no longer up to code.

Thanks to funding from the municipality, the necessary upgrades were able to begin. James Mackenzie, the President of the Park Board, says the project was aided by the park board, Randy Rinaldi welding, Austin Linderman Logging and Trucking, Mark Cnossen, the Municipality of the Crowsnest Pass and Blue Imp. “Those were the major set of individuals and businesses that contributed or donated to the project.

There was also a small group from the community who had come to aid with the completion of the project. Members of the board who worked alongside Community Services formed the design of the new playground area. The project began in February and was completed on Tuesday, July 13th, with the installation of the tube slide.

lorna PatterSon July 16th, 1954 - august 30th, 2016 A woman who always put everyone else first. A woman who loved with every part of her being. A friend whose heart was so big she was always the first person by your side. A secret keeper, an advice giver, one hell of a rodeo ticket seller. A woman whose humour and laugh will be forever missed.

A friend, a sister, a lover, a mother, a grandmother and a great-grandmother. Lorna, Ma, Mom, Grandma you are everything and more, you are missed each and every day. We love you.
