New oil sites
All Points Energy Ltd. and Evolve Surface Strategies Inc. made a presentation before Wheatland County council regarding proposed well sites for All Points Energy to begin drilling in. They already have licenses for three sites and are hoping to drill five this year. Representatives from both companies were at council to ask for approval for access to one of the sites, so that drilling may begin right away. Council approved the motion.
Rural addresses
The rural addressing bylaw went through second and third readings on Sept. 21. The bylaw is to provide and implement a rural address system in the county. In time they will be the addresses everyone will use, discontinuing the current system. It will take a little while though before the new addressing system will be in effect, and longer yet before people begin solely using them.
Annexation
The annexation was a great battle for the town to win, and now there are just a few minor details to fix up. The Oxbow golf course is mainly a part of Wheatland County. However there are two small sections which belong to Strathmore since the annexation. Jennifer Deak stated she had sent a letter to the town offices asking for an uncontested annexation of that small section of land. The county feels it should all belong to one municipality.
