Blurbs from the Battle River LodgeSubmitted articleMargaret Faas, BRL resident
We have lots to be thankful for at the Lodge. Thanks-
giving weekend was quiet because lots of people were able to visit family for the first time in a long while.
We were very fortunate after being in outbreak mode that we were able to have everyone safe again and healthy.
There are two new colorful benches out in our yard that have been donated by Fire ‘N’
Wheels for the comfort of the residents as they sit and enjoy the sunshine, birds, rabbits, and the sights of the neighborhood. Thank you for your thoughtful-ness.
The summer has passed into fall very quickly but there is still lots to look forward to. Our vol-unteers are able to start coming back, so that is nice to see. We have had lots of great flowers to enjoy all over the yard. Our summer student has now gone back to higher learning. Thanks Elizabeth for all your hard work
all summer. See you next spring.We have had the attention
of Rexall drug store pharmacy ladies that have come to keep us up with our Covid and Flu shots. Thanks ladies. They were very kind with their talents with the needles.
Halloween at the Lodge will be the same as last year with the candy treats being outside for the children to pick up and wave to all the Grandmas and Grandpas who will be watching at the windows. We are looking forward to seeing you all.

Fabyan Bridge to remain closed until repaired
Roger [email protected]
Wainwright MD Coun-cil decided on October
15th to keep the damaged Fabyan Bridge closed until repairs are completed.
The bridge was closed Au-gust 21st after it was struck by a high load that damaged the structure of the south portal and southeast batter post.
Engineers who examined the bridge advised council it could be re-opened prior to the repairs if it was lim-ited to a 5-ton capacity. They also had the option of re-
opening the bridge with a 10 ton weight limit with lim-ited repairs costing between $85,000 and $100,000.
The option council chose is to keep the bridge closed un-til full repairs could be made to the south portal and the damaged batter post which would return the bridge to its previous full capacity. The cost for the full repair is estimated to be between $120,000 and $145,000.
Council was informed it will be a lengthy process to recover costs from the in-surance companies of the operators who damaged the bridge.

Just Looking Around
Election Day brought about some exciting news for some candidates and some disappointing news for others. But the fact that each mu-nicipality in our area had an elec-tion this time around was great to see. Voter turnout was also quite impressive for a municipal elec-tion. Now that you’ve elected new Councils, be sure to keep an eye on your local politics and what is hap-pening around the Council table.
****Kudos to all the candidates who were not elected in this week’s mu-nicipal elections. Even though you weren’t elected, you are a pivotal part fo the democratic process.
****
this weekend.
The geese seem to be heading south quickly now that the temperatures are getting quite cold.
****This week is Small Business Week. Be sure to get out and support some small businesses in your commu-nity!
****COVID-19 cases in the MD of Wain-wright have been up and down lately. But it is nice to see the vac-cination numbers slowly climbing. Keep up the great work, and let’s all do our part to keep our communi-ties safe and healthy.
**** “A small business is an amazing
way to serve and leave an im-pact on the world you live in.”

Voted. Now what? Dear recently elected official
ReferendumbVoter turnout for Monday’s municipal election was
pretty good. Many municipalities around the prov-ince, including Wainwright, saw an increase in voter turnout from the past few elections.
The presumed reason for that was the referendum questions on this year’s ballot, specifically the equaliza-tion referendum question.
When results of the referendum become official and are released in its entirety next week, no doubt most Albertans will be happy to hear that there was a majority vote of “yes” for the question, “Should section 36(2) of the Constitution Act, 1982 – Parliament and the government of Canada’s commitment to the principle of making equal-ization payments – be removed from the Constitution?”
But what most Albertans may not have realized is that the question posed is not as clear as it may seem.
First of all, the Government of Alberta doesn’t have the power to remove anything from the Constitution. An overwhelming “yes” vote may give them a little bit of bargaining power in discussions with the federal gov-ernment, but the province has no power to do what the referendum question asked.
Secondly, Jason Kenney even said himself that the goal of the referendum was to gain leverage for consti-tutional negotiations in order to reform the equalization formula. His intent from the start was reformation, not elimination of equalization.
So the fact that he posed that question the way he did on the ballot is pretty sketchy in the first place. And he also got people all riled up thinking they are voting to remove equalization for good, when really that was never and will never be the case.
To be clear, the equalization formula is flawed. There’s no doubt about that. But equalization reform - if it is to happen - would take many years to happen. Even if it does happen, Alberta will likely never be a “have not” province due to its strong fiscal capacity. And even if Alberta does happen to become a “have not” province, equalization money goes into public services, not Alber-tans’ pockets. So this referendum was really a whole lot of hullabaloo over something that really doesn’t impact everyday Albertans all that much.
You have undertaken an important role in the life of the community you now represent. Yes,
you now have an important role but you need to remember you are not the most important part of that community. The people you now represent are the most important. You are their servant, not their master.
Your role is to represent them to the best of your ability. You will not like what some of them tell you when they disagree with your decisions. You will not like some of the decisions your council will make. You will wonder at times why you chose to take on this responsibility.
To be the best you can be you must remem-ber your community is made up of many differ-ent people, different backgrounds, different lived experiences and all of them now have a place in your world. Take the time to listen to them, to know them, to understand them.
It will be easy to write some of them off as unreasonable, not willing or able to understand or even respect your position, it may be true, but you have a responsibility to treat them with respect. It may not always be easy, but it is always the right thing to do.
During deliberations do not be afraid to clear-ly speak your mind and offer reasons for your thoughts, this is why you were elected. If a deci-sion is made by your council that you spoke against, you must remind yourself you are a mem-ber of this team and this is how democracy works best. You can agree to dis-agree and move on.
No one said your job would be easy. It will not. No one said it will be pleasant all the time, it will not. The best you can hope for is to earn the respect of the people who elected you and this is a worthy thing.
Thank you for taking this task on. Rather than luck you will need wisdom and courage.
To the 1707 of you who voted, good job. It turns out your vote counts about triple, because only 34.8%
of eligible voters in Wainwright cast their ballots.Even though this electoral system is not exactly
ideal, it’s the one we have, and it’s how we choose our elected officials.
Your responsibility to choose your representa-tives is an important step in making sure you’re being governed well, but it’s not the only one.
Thanks to Mayor Bethune and Councillor Mac-Donald for their service.
Also thanks to candidates Lapierre, Curtis, Mac-Donald, Tizzard, Wourms, Newman, Holmes, and Adamson for letting their names stand for the upcoming term. Some places fail to get good repre-sentation because there’s not enough candidates and some people are acclaimed. Even though they didn’t win, they challenged the winners to meet a higher standard, and that’s an important contribu-tion.
Mayor Elect Pugh, you’ve seen how this works in your time on Council. Good luck. It’s a big job. Good thing you won’t have to do it alone.
Councillors-elect Fountain and Saretsky: Wel-come. You’ll have some reading to do, and a bit of a learning curve. Don’t be afraid to slow things down and ask stupid questions. “We’ve always done it that way” isn’t a good enough answer. Innovative changes come from fresh angles, and from looking at issues from a different perspective.
Councillors Haubrich, Challenger, Moroz, and Foley; Welcome back. Your experience will help you continue to guide the ship for everybody; Even those who didn’t bother to vote.
Everybody else, you don’t get to go back to sleep until the next election. Pester these representatives so that they know what’s important to you. Be kind and constructive while you do so, and they’ll be able to include your perspective as they make decisions.

MD Council concerned about Provincial highways in the MDRoger [email protected]
Councilors at the meeting on Fri-day, October 15, expressed concern
that some provincial highways in the Wainwright MD are deteriorating.
Highway 14 east of Fabyan through Wainwright to the Saskatchewan bor-der was mentioned by several coun-cilors as being in rough condition.
The condition of Highway 881 south of Irma was also discussed. It was noted that recent paving of Highway 881 in the County of Flagstaff stopped at the boundary to the MD of Wain-wright.
Reeve Barss suggested councilors prepare to discuss the issue with pro-vincial highways officials and elected
officials at the Rural Municipalities Conference November 23-26 in Ed-
monton, which they plan to attend.EDGE

Councillors said they have been trying to get the attention of the highways minister to deal with the problem. The photo on the right was taken October 18 several killometers east of Wainwright on Highway 14 looking west.

The two teams met in Wainwright for a tune-up before their respective regular seasons kick off.
The Huskies and Kings played in front of a good crowd on Friday night at Encompass Credit Union Arena. The crowd for Saturday afternoon’s game was smaller, but still just as excited, as the two teams put on an entertaining battle in both contests.
The Huskies won both games, win-ning 7-4 on Friday night and 5-3 on Saturday afternoon.
Huskies head coach, Mike Babcock, said the exhibition games were a good opportunity for his club to prepare for their season. He added that it was a nice chance for some of his players to play closer to their hometowns and see some family members.
“We’ve got some guys from Mar-
wayne and Lloydminster, so for grandparents and all that it’s been pretty special,” he said.
“The games have been good. It was a good opportunity for us. We had our goalies play for Red Deer, so our goal-ies faced 50-60 shots which is a great way to evaluate. We’ve got four goal-ies and we’ve got to make a decision, so that’s good for us.
“This has given us an opportunity to play another team and really get ready for our season. So it’s been a good trip for us.”
The Huskies will begin their regular season this coming weekend with a pair of games against the University of Regina Cougars.
The Kings’ regular season will begin in about three weeks.
While the Kings travelled back and forth to and from Red Deer for the games each day, the Huskies stayed in Wainwright, and Babcock said it was a great experience.
“It’s a great little town. The facil-ity here is top notch. We’ve got a big time dressing room with all the tech-nology we need to run our comput-
ers through and all that. And the op-portunity to play a good college team we’ve been playing here has made it all the better, so that’s great,” he said.
“We’ve been looked after so well here in Wainwright, and it couldn’t be any better. It was a great trip for us.”

deepening our national awareness of the meaning and potential of reconciliation, it
will take many heads, hands, and hearts, working together, at all levels of society to
maintain momentum in the years ahead. It will also take sustained political will at all
levels of government and concerted material resources.
The thousands of Survivors who publicly shared their residential school experi-
ences at trc events in every region of this country have launched a much-needed
dialogue about what is necessary to heal themselves, their families, communities, and
the nation. Canadians have much to benefit from listening to the voices, experiences,
and wisdom of Survivors, Elders, and Traditional Knowledge Keepers—and much
more to learn about reconciliation. Aboriginal peoples have an important contribu-
tion to make to reconciliation. Their knowledge systems, oral histories, laws, and con-
nections to the land have vitally informed the reconciliation process to date, and are
essential to its ongoing progress.
At a Traditional Knowledge Keepers Forum sponsored by the trc, Anishinaabe
Elder Mary Deleary spoke about the responsibility for reconciliation that both
Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people carry. She emphasized that the work of rec-
onciliation must continue in ways that honour the ancestors, respect the land, and
rebalance relationships. She said,
I’m so filled with belief and hope because when I hear your voices at the table,
I hear and know that the responsibilities that our ancestors carried ... are still
being carried ... even through all of the struggles, even through all of what has
been disrupted ... we can still hear the voice of the land. We can hear the care
and love for the children. We can hear about our law. We can hear about our
stories, our governance, our feasts, [and] our medicines.... We have work to do.
That work we are [already] doing as [Aboriginal] peoples. Our relatives who have
come from across the water [non-Aboriginal people], you still have work to do on
your road.... The land is made up of the dust of our ancestors’ bones. And so to
reconcile with this land and everything that has happened, there is much work
to be done ... in order to create balance.25
At the Victoria Regional Event in 2012, Survivor Archie Little said,
[For] me reconciliation is righting a wrong. And how do we do that? All these
people in this room, a lot of non-Aboriginals, a lot of Aboriginals that probably
didn’t go to residential school; we need to work together.... My mother had a
high standing in our cultural ways. We lost that. It was taken away.... And I think
it’s time for you non-Aboriginals … to go to your politicians and tell them that we
have to take responsibility for what happened. We have to work together.26
The Reverend Stan McKay of the United Church, who is also a Survivor, believes
that reconciliation can happen only when everyone accepts responsibility for healing
in ways that foster respect. He said,
[There must be] a change in perspective about the way in which Aboriginal peo-
ples would be engaged with Canadian society in the quest for reconciliation....
[We cannot] perpetuate the paternalistic concept that only Aboriginal peoples
are in need of healing.... The perpetrators are wounded and marked by history in
ways that are different from the victims, but both groups require healing.... How
can a conversation about reconciliation take place if all involved do not adopt an
attitude of humility and respect? ... We all have stories to tell and in order to grow
in tolerance and understanding we must listen to the stories of others.27
the reconciliation process. We have been encouraged to see that across the country,
many people have been answering that call.
The youth of this country are taking up the challenge of reconciliation. Aboriginal
and non-Aboriginal youth who attended National Events made powerful state-
ments about why reconciliation matters to them. At the Alberta National Event
in Edmonton in March 2014, an Indigenous youth spoke on behalf of a national
Jessica Bolduc said,
We have re-examined our thoughts and beliefs around colonialism, and have
made a commitment to unpack our own baggage, and to enter into a new rela-
tionship with each other, using this momentum, to move our country forward, in
Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal representatives from 4Rs Youth Movement present the 4Rs drum made by Nisga’a artist Mike Dangeli, as an expression of reconciliation at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Alberta National
Event, March 2014.
At this point in time, we ask ourselves, “What does that anniversary mean for us,
as Indigenous youth and non-Indigenous youth, and how do we arrive at that
day with something we can celebrate together?” … Our hope is that, one day, we
will live together, as recognized nations, within a country we can all be proud
of.28
In 2013, at the British Columbia National Event in Vancouver, where over 5,000
elementary and secondary school students attended Education Day, several non-Ab-
original youth talked about what they had learned. Matthew Meneses said, “I’ll never
forget this day. This is the first day they ever told us about residential schools. If I
were to see someone who’s Aboriginal, I’d ask them if they can speak their language
because I think speaking their language is a pretty cool thing.” Antonio Jordao said, “It
makes me sad for those kids. They took them away from their homes—it was torture,
it’s not fair. They took them away from their homes. I don’t agree with that. It’s really
wrong. That’s one of the worst things that Canada did.” Cassidy Morris said, “It’s good
that we’re finally learning about what happened.” Jacqulyn Byers told us, “I hope that
events like this are able to bring closure to the horrible things that happened, and that
a whole lot of people now recognize that the crime happened and that we need to
make amends for it.”29

The Town of Wainwright and the Habitat for Humanity Wainwright Adopt-a-Home project have signed an agreement for funding. The agree-ment allows Habitat for Humanity Wainwright to use a portion of the funds to purchase a residential lot for the house to sit on, plus surveys, site servicing and legal fees, with the remainder of the funds to be dispersed once the foundation of the house is complete.

The Council of the Town of Wainwright was paid a visit from Dusty Myshall, President of the Alberta Paramedic Association, via Go-To Meeting. Myshall spoke about the unfair and potentially dangerous Core-Flex system to which Alberta paramedics are currently sub-ject. This involves a 96 hour on-call sys-tem, which Myshall explained is taxing on their physical and mental health and on family life. Myshall said the Alberta Paramedics Association is visiting with communities to gain support to bring the issues forward to the Rural Munici-palities Association.
Agriculture field man, James Schwindt told council six quarters in the MD of Wainwright have been positively iden-tified with Club Root.

If you see your bus driver, make a point this School Bus Safety Week to say thank you for the wonderful job they do. Trying to keep their eyes on the road, while making sure students are wear-ing masks, sitting in their seats and that the bus and students are sanitized is no easy task. We are lucky that we have such dedi-cated bus drivers as there are driver shortages across the province where some families don’t have a school bus to get their children to school. Just like it is the bus driver’s responsibility to safely transport the children to and from school, it is the parent or guardian’s respon-sibility to make sure their children get safely to and from the bus stop, wear their mask and don’t go to school if they are sick.Help bus drivers keep our students safe, DO NOT PASS a school bus from either direction when the RED LIGHTS ARE FLASHING. Amber lights are a warning to motorists following or approach-ing a bus that they are slowing down to make a passenger stop. Passing a school bus puts children at risk. Together we can continue to make the school bus the safest means of student transportation.

Winning weekend for the Wainwright Polar Kings

Both the U15 and U18 Polar Kings teams were in action this past weekend, and both teams picked up a win. The U15 Polar Kings, pic-tured above, played just one game this weekend, but they earned their first win of the season in that one game. The U15 Polar Kings defeated the SSAC Barbecue Country U15 team on home ice at Encompass Credit Union Arena to get into the win column for the first time this year. They will play at home again this coming Saturday at 2:30 p.m. against the St. Albert Saints.The U18 Polar Kings, pictured below, played a pair of games this past weekend. They lost a close 5-4 game in Lloydminster on Saturday before defeating the Camrose Vikings 5-2 on the road on Sunday for a split on the weekend. The U18 Polar Kings are now 3-2 on the season. Their next home game will be this Sunday at 2:30 p.m. against the KC Colts.
