This past June, the town successfully won the bid to host the 2015 Alberta 55 Plus Summer Games. At the beginning of September, Donalda Ledene was appointed as the Chair of the games board of directors. A 16-person board is needed to plan, co-ordinate and implement the games. 

At the Oct. 2 regular town council meeting, Ledene was back with a list of 14 director names: 

Jackie Lozeron,  accommodations; Bill Morton, administration; Joss Binns, activities; Charlotte Cummings, culture; Tim Drover, food services; Cave Starling, Friends of the Games; Kathy Tucker, protocol; Fred Rappel, registration, results and communications; Don Hartman, facilities and Golden Hills School DivisionlLiaison; Len Voermans, safety; Dr. Joni McNeely, medical services; Keith Clayton, transportation; Bruce Bishop, volunteers; Gail Galusha, seniors liaison.

The director of promotions role still needs to be filled. Councillor Earl Best stated that since he is planning to leave council at the end of this term, he would be happy to put his name forward if needed. 

 

Re-designation

A public hearing has been scheduled for Nov. 20 to discuss the possible rezoning of a section of Third Ave. The land is currently zoned CB, Central Business District. Property owners would like to see the area re-designated to R3 and apartment district.
