MUSEUM HOSTSART SHOWCASE

RURAL WATER PROJECT RECEIVES ALMOST $3 MILLION

Submitted by Yvonne Slemko | Onoway and Dis-trict Historical Guild

Onoway Museum hosted a special event to kick off an ex-hibit of works by local artists. The main corridor of the mu-seum was crowded with artists, art-lovers and community mem-bers who came to the showcase of works by ten visual artists. Debra Redlick, the museum’s coordinator, saw an opportunity to highlight local talent and at the same time bring people to the museum. She worked with Pat St. Hilaire, a member of the Onoway and District Historical

Guild, who began contacting dif-ferent visual artists who live in the area. This resulted in an ex-hibit which will be on display at the museum until the end of July.

Artists whose works are on display are Mareike Clark, Alma Engler, Kathleen Gerwing, Syl-via Hafermehl, Bonnie Hood, Tammy Parks-Legge, Debbie Rutland, Pat St. Hilaire, April St. Laurent and Tammy Taylor. Works on display include di-verse media including clay art, wearable art created from found objects, greeting cards as well as oil and acrylic paintings.

Onoway and District Histor-ical Guild hosted the wine and

cheese opener and members were available for informal tours of the museum.

The evening provided an op-portunity not only to make the public aware of the local art scene but it also provided a ven-ue for networking among artists, some of whom had never met before.

Onoway Museum is operating under summer hours thus is open Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Ev-eryone is welcome to discover the talented local art scene and, at the same time, travel back in time and explore Onoway’s his-tory.

The Government of Alberta is funding critical water projects across Alberta as part of the ongo-ing commitment to provide clean drinking water and wastewater treatment to rural Albertans.

The more than $131 million in funding, through the Water for Life and the Alberta Municipal Water-Wastewater Partnership grant programs, will support 29 projects across the province.

This $2,930,598 Alberta Mu-

nicipal Water/Wastewater Part-nership grant will fund lift sta-tion and force main upgrades in the Tri Village Regional Sewage Services Commission to meet Alberta Environment wastewater treatment requirements. This will support the needs of this small community today and promote future growth.

“We want residents to be able to drink local water with confi-dence. We also want to protect the land and the wildlife that live on it from the dangers of improp-erly treated wastewater. This is just one more example of how

our government is investing in the infrastructure needed to build the economy here and across Al-berta to help create jobs and to make life better for Albertans.” - Brian Mason, Minister of Trans-portation and Minister of Infra-structure

“I’m proud of the investments our government is making in clean water for Alberta’s com-munities, and I’m pleased to see a significant grant that will ben-efit the villages of Alberta Beach, Sunset Point and Val Quentin.

ENVIRONMENTALDAMAGES FUND

Submitted by Jim Eglins-ki, MP – Yellowhead

Jim Eglinski, Member of Parliament for Yellowhead, is pleased to inform residents of a call for applications to the new Environmental Damages Fund through Environment and Cli-mate Change Canada. The program is making $130,741 available in Alberta to support projects that help to restore or enhance the environment, conduct environmental research, and provide

public education on environmental issues.

In Alberta, there are two types of funding available. The federal gov-ernment has made $20,000 available for projects aimed at preventing pol-lution and/or protecting the environ-ment.

Additionally, $110,741 is available for projects which promote the proper management and control of fisheries or fish habitat, and/or the conservation and protection of fish or fish habitat

in Alberta. Preference for this fund-ing will be given to projects in the Athabasca watershed or adjacent wa-tersheds in Alberta, and in the North Saskatchewan River Watershed.

“I am pleased to see the federal government investing in areas of our riding where environmental damage may have occurred along the North Saskatchewan River Watershed,” stat-ed MP Eglinski.

Eligible applicants include: non-governmental organizations; aca-demic institutions; indigenous organi-zations; and provincial, territorial and municipal governments. The deadline for projects in Alberta is July 28, 2017. Priority funding will be given to projects that restore the natural en-vironment and conserve wildlife.

“I encourage all those interested in this program, especially those along the North Saskatchewan River, to apply. Let’s ensure that our riding of Yellowhead continues to represent the best of Alberta’s beauty,” concluded MP Eglinski.

On May 26th we were very lucky to enjoy surprise entertainment by Leo Rainville visiting from Blezard Valley, Ontario and accompanied by his son, local musician Chuck Rainville. Rob Dunn from Sandy Beach visited to listen to the music and was persuaded to perform his realistic rendition of the Elvis song “Are You Lonesome Tonight”. Most of the diners stayed to enjoy the wonderful music after the tasty Oven Barbequed Pork Chop Din-ner prepared and served by Bob C.,

Lorne O., Marcelle J., Broley H. and Lynn R. Thanks to Val O’T., Larry V., Neil G. and Cheryl S. for helping with the clean up as no Scouts or Guides were available. We greatly appreciate all volunteers that stepped forward to help at the last minute, covering for those that were unable to attend. Congratula-tions to Val O’ Toole for winning the free meal voucher, Catherine Bennett the meat draw and Cheryl Sadler the 50-50 draw. Volunteers in the kitchen are desperately need-ed and if you can find the time for prep or clean up, please phone Bob Clark @ 780-967-3640.

New volunteer Meila Spreen worked at the fun singles 8-ball pool tournament May 27th with Bob C. and Broley H. Even though only twelve players attended, they enjoyed breakfast sandwiches and burgers with fries for lunch. Un-fortunately I have not received any of the results from the tournament but the next fun tournament will be held on June 24th.

Rural Water Project Receives Almost $3 MillionContinued From Page 1

This will make a difference in the lives of people in our constit-uency of Whitecourt-Ste. Anne.” - Oneil Carlier, MLA for White-court-Ste. Anne

Quick facts• Budget 2017 invests $474 mil-

lion in Water for Life and Alberta Municipal Water and Wastewater Partnership grant programs over four years to support smaller com-munities and regional projects in rural Alberta.

• These projects are part of our government’s commitment to im-prove the quality of life for rural Albertans.

• Today, nearly $200 million is being invested in new and existing water projects, with $131 million from Alberta Transportation clean water and wastewater treatment grants and more than $632,000 in provincial Municipal Sustainabili-ty Initiatives funding:

- 22 new water projects with to-tal eligible costs of $194 million to be built in several provincial con-stituencies across most of Alberta, from Milk River (constituency - Cardston-Taber-Warner) to Dix-onville (constituency – Peace Riv-er). The province will contribute more than $127 million for these projects.

- Seven previously approved projects across southern Alberta communities that require addition-al funding, with total eligible costs of $5.4 million. The province will contribute $4.4 million for these cost revisions that are based on scope or cost changes.

- This funding is over three years, based on the construction timelines of the projects, These are pay-on-progress programs.

Project guidelines are as follows:Alberta Municipal Water/Waste-

water Partnership (AMWWP)• AMWWP assists eligible Al-

berta municipalities with the con-struction of priority water supply and treatment, and wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.

• Under AMWWP, grant levels start at 75 per cent up to a popula-tion of 1,000 and decline thereaf-ter to “0” at 45,000.

• The program is available to municipalities in Alberta:

- cities with an official popula-tion under 45,000;

- towns;- villages;- summer villages;- eligible hamlets within coun-

ties, municipal districts, Métis settlements, the Special Areas, and improvement districts; and

- regional commissions.Water for Life (W4L)• Regionalization of water sup-

ply systems started in the 1960s in the Edmonton area. In 2004, Alberta Environment and Parks completed a comprehensive prov-ince wide risk assessment report of municipal waterworks systems that identified options for commu-

nities, such as individual plant up-grades, regional water pipelines, remote facility monitoring and technical support, and regional op-erational consortiums.

- There is a higher capital cost to implement regional systems, but in the long term, regional systems provide the best overall benefit.

• The W4L initiative was initiat-ed on April 5, 2006 and is an ongo-ing program.

• The objective is to support the development of new regional wa-ter and wastewater systems under AMWWP that are more cost effec-tive and/or environmentally desir-able than independent systems.

• The W4L strategy initiative

is available only to new regional water or wastewater systems or to new extensions of existing region-al water or wastewater systems (to service new customers).

• Commissions/municipalities are required to demonstrate the regional alternative is cost effec-tive and economically justified compared to alternative facility solutions. Environmental require-ments, efficiencies in manage-ment, and operational practices are also taken into account. Pipe-lines for new regional systems (water or wastewater) are funded at 90 per cent
