meeting, residents who voiced concerns about
the recent rise in speed limits to 100 kilometres
(km) on some county roads were glad to see
that county council acted on their concerns.
Traffic control bylaw 2019-20 was discussed
in Wheatland County council on Aug. 20, to up-
date the bylaw and incorporate changed speed
limits in approved areas around the county in
April.
Former Wheatland County councillor Ken
Sauve brought concerns about the speed
changes to Township Road 232, Highway 817
and Highway 1, specifically the Hammer Hill
road.
“My concern is not so much with the traffic
there; we knew there would be a lot of extra
traffic when the road was paved, and with that,
whatever extra traffic brings. But my concern
is the safety on that road,” said Sauve. “I knew
there would be semi-trailers on the road, grain
haulers, and cattle liners or fertilizer hauling,
but now we are getting transport trucks out of
the City of Calgary that use that road to get to
the number one (highway).”
He couldn’t understand why the trucks
wouldn’t use Highway 1 or Highway 22X, but
he said the problem is increasing. He consid-
ered the increased speed limit to 100 km might
make it attractive for this type of traffic. He said
there are sight-line problems and no turn-off ar-
eas for the larger trucks on the road. He said by
keeping the speed lower than 100 km, it would
increase safety on that road. Sauve also asked
for more police patrols in off-hours because ad-
herence to the speed limits was not occurring.
County resident Debbie Janzen said Wheat-
land County staff looked at the residents’ ap-
proaches along Township Road 232 of the
Namaka road and agreed they needed updat-
ing. She and other residents also requested re-
duced speeds for that portion of the road.

Public response to GFL review
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
Many Wheatland residents may be
contemplating wheather the GFL facil-
ity near Namaka has interfered with
their Section 7 Charter of Rights pro-
tection of life, liberty and security of
person.
At the GFL review held at Wheat-
land County council on Aug. 20, many
people gave pictorial presentations to
verify their complaints that they link to
the compost facility’s activities.
“This operation has been the bane
of our existence for the last 21 years,”
said resident Mary Mercer, whose prop-
erty borders the facility. “It has caused
us countless hours of extra work, dam-
aged our property and wasted our time.
It has negatively impacted our quality
of life and threatened our health and
that of our animals. We live with the
worry our water is being ruined, and
at some time our house might burn
down.”
Mercer said worries increased when
GFL took over the facility. She said she
felt that responsibility should not be
placed on residents to monitor facility
practices.
Several people bordering the facility
commented that the complaint system
for Alberta Environment is inadequate.
No feedback or significant action was
taken on their complaints, so they said
they quit registering their concerns
with the province.
Mercer listed odours, garbage heaps
Traffic bylaw passes with concessions to residents

“There are a few other safety con-
cerns we have that I forgot to mention
last time,” said Paddock. “We are talking
about five driveways back-to-back with
no visibility, a high speed limit and the
ability to pass in one spot.”
She said promised signage was not
yet installed to indicate hidden drive-
ways.
Councillor Glenn Koester said that in
the past, residents had concerns over
speed changes, like on the Rockyford
road. Council had taken measures to
address resident concerns and lowered
limits to address those concerns. He
also had concerns about drawing un-
wanted heavy vehicle traffic from other
areas.
“Our speed limits are contributing to
other traffic than our own residents,”
said Koester. “It is not our role to build
and dust that altered soil quality and
left asbestos contaminations. She es-
timates seven acres of her property is
contaminated. She said blowing sulphur
and dust affected breathing and coated
belongings, and that several fires have
already occurred at the site. Mercer said
her family has had to spend thousands
of dollars to protect property and en-
sure their health in considering the
risks living next to the facility.
Other residents also testified about
increased pests and predators that
were drawn to the area by the site, pos-
ing risks to animals, cattle and crops.
Residents have noted changes in spe-
cies numbers in area wetlands which
they suspect is due to the influx of non-
indigenous predators, or drifting con-
taminants.
And, residents say property values
had decreased.
Joanne Melville testified to the heart-
ache of watching her two little boys
develop unknown breathing problems
that she attributes to air pollution from
the GFL facility.
Legal counsel for GFL, Stephen Rob-
erts, discounted residents’ pictorial and
verbal evidence because, in his opin-
ion, it has no bearing on what exists
at the site as of July 2019, or apply to
the remedial orders. He didn’t qualify
three fires in several years as a common
occurrence. He speculated some of the
fire incidents might have been caused
by arson because the fires had incon-
clusive causes, and he stated health
traffic for outsiders. It is for our own
residents. If it is contributing to that I
would like something to be done, like
more surveillance.”
He suggested reducing the limit
should be done to address residents’
concerns, and he wouldn’t support the
bylaw as it is now.
Councillor Tom Ikert felt the speed at
100 km was OK, but there should be sig-
nage to indicate the hidden driveways.
Councillor Jason Wilson said more sig-
nage was needed to indicate that the
road is adjacent to a hamlet. Councillor
Ben Armstrong said he had no resident
objections to increased limits on the
Duck Lake road (Range Road 182-183,
Township Road 252) but he supported
the speed limit changes in other are-
as to address resident concerns. Reeve
Amber Link said both Hammer Hill
roads and the Namaka roads had factu-
al evidence against changes.

GFL claims are “deplorable” and “absurd”
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
David McGillivray, a lawyer from
Gowling WLG law firm and legal coun-
sel for Wheatland County administra-
tion, took exception to statements and
assertions made by the lawyer for GFL
Environmental Inc., Stephen Roberts,
at the county’s Aug. 20 public review
meeting.
“GFL’s conduct with the county has
been nothing short of deplorable,” said
McGillivray.
“In GFL’s responses, it is already
showing intransigence. The county tells
them it is a nuisance and the GFL’s re-
sponse is ‘we disagree.’ I think it is fair
to say, and I think when people here
have their say, it will show there is a
lack of transparency and with a lack of
transparency … a lack of trust.”
McGillivray said residents have suf-
fered for years while GFL made excus-
es, delayed and ignored the direction
to clean up and maintain their facility.
Even after a court ruling compelled
them to stop work, they continued to
conduct business as usual, claiming the
order needed clarification and was con-
fusing.
“I think he is misrepresenting the rul-
ing of Justice (L. Bernette) Ho in this re-
spect. The application that was brought
under Section 545 of the MGA was a
statutory injunction to enter those
premises to carry out the inspection of
the property to carry out the terms of
the injunction,” said McGillivray. “She
has not pronounced that an inspection
under any circumstances cannot occur.
She simply pronounced on what we be-
lieve was a statutory right, but she be-
lieved it was discretionary. I don’t think
it is accurate that the decision of Justice
Ho means there can never be access to
the property.”
He said the remedial orders were not
to be considered separately and were
intended to be understood concurrent-
ly.
He discounted GFL’s assertion the

county is over-reaching on this issue
and does not have jurisdiction over this
matter.
“County administration respectfully
submits that there is necessarily some
overlap in the jurisdiction of the county
as enabled by the MGA and their by-
laws and the purview of the province.
To be clear, municipalities are given
broad remedial power to manage mat-
ters in their municipalities,” said McGil-
livray. “In the present circumstances,
Wheatland County has validly enacted
the nuisance and unsightly property
bylaws under powers given expressly
by the MGA.”
He listed the powers as listed in the
MGA that had also been referenced by
Reeve Amber Link in an earlier discus-
sion.
He said courts generally support that
laws of the province and municipalities
operate harmoniously in overlapping
regulations. According to the Supreme
Court, McGillivray said an extreme dif-
ference in substance or purpose be-
tween provincial and municipal law, or
unauthorized actions taken by some-
one with no authority is the only rea-
son to rule on jurisdiction.
“Wheatland County’s actions in the
matter align with its purposes and man-
date, as well as its authority under its
statutes,” said McGillivray.
He maintained that GFL needs to stop
work as per the Queen’s court ruling
and indicated that they were technical-
ly not even entitled to a review because
they had seven days from the issue of
the order to seek a review under the
MGA, and they did not.
He gave a lengthy argument on the
many ways GFL caused and allowed
the premises and property to harbour
nuisances as defined in the county nui-
sance and unsightly property bylaws.
He pointed out that the property
was unsightly and lacked cleanup
and maintenance, and was detrimen-
tal to the surrounding area. GFL was
not allowed to store composting on
the property and required the pro-

Labour day is celebrated on the first Monday in September, this year on Sept. 2.
This holiday officially celebrates workers and the labour union movement, however, most people generally
think of it as the last long weekend of summer. The Tuesday after Labour Day also marks the first day for school.
Public schools in the area are open for class on Sept. 3.
Whether you prefer them barely toasted or charbroiled, one way to kick off the long weekend is to grab a
bag of marshmallows, start a campfire and enjoy some toasted marshmallows on

It has come to Administration’s attention that some residents within the Town of Strathmore have
been contacted under false pretense by an illegitimate business attempting to sell water filters. In the
cases reported to Administration, representatives of this illegitimate business communicated false and
misleading information to Residents regarding the Town’s water quality in effort to manipulate Residents
into purchasing their filters.
TOWN OF

“EPCOR treats and distributes water in Strathmore that meets or exceeds all water quality requirements
set by provincial standards and Health Canada’s guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality,”
Administration would like to remind all residents that legitimate businesses are required to carry a copy

The Ethics Commissioner’s Trudeau report

MARTIN SHIELDS
Member of Parliament
Bow River Riding
You’ve likely heard about
the Ethics Commissioner’s
recent report on the SNC-
Lavalin scandal. It confirmed
beyond a doubt what we al-
ready knew – the Prime Min-
ister acted unethically and
broke the law.
The report clearly outlines
how “the authority of the
Prime Minister and his office
was used to circumvent, un-
dermine and ultimately dis-
credit” former Attorney Gen-
eral Jody Wilson-Raybould.
The Prime Minister grossly
abused his authority help a
major corporation avoid le-
gal consequences – and he
has tried to cover up his ac-
tions ever since.
Trudeau simply never hesi-
tates to help his powerful
and well-connected friends
get ahead. Meanwhile, ev-
eryday Canadians are falling
behind.
Last week, during an emer-
gency sitting of the Ethics
Committee, Liberal MPs had
an opportunity to do the
right thing and shine a light
on the SNC-Lavalin corrup-
tion scandal. At the very least,
they could have heard testi-
mony from the Ethics Com-
missioner – he was ready to
testify at a moment’s notice.
Instead, the Liberals used
their majority on the commit-
tee to shut down any further
investigation. They covered
up the truth. They are now
complicit in Trudeau’s po-
litical interference in SNC’s
criminal prosecution.
In 2015, Justin Trudeau
promised he would be ethical
and accountable. And every
day since then, he has prov-
en that he is not as adver-
tised. Time and time again,
he has abused the power
of his office to reward his
friends and punish his crit-
ics. As last week’s shameful
display at the Ethics Commit-
tee demonstrated, Trudeau
has the support of his Liberal
caucus. They truly believe he
did nothing wrong. These
are the same old entitled,
scandal-ridden Liberals Ca-
nadians know all too well.
They simply don’t think the

Thumbs up for local bullfighter
LAURENCE HEINEN
Times Contributor
Ty Prescott wasn’t going to miss the Strathmore
Stampede just because of a few broken bones.
Although the veteran bullfighter fractured his hand
in several spots six weeks earlier in Medicine Hat, that
didn’t stop him from working at his favourite rodeo.
“It’s awesome,” said Prescott of keeping bull riders
safe every year in Strathmore. “It’s pretty cool. I’m on
the road lots in the summer, so being able to come
back home and see all my friends and family and peo-
ple I don’t get to see all summer, people I went to
school with and stuff, it’s pretty neat.”
Prescott grew up and still lives seven kilometres
west of Strathmore where his family has a feedlot and
where he and his dad Barry raise bucking bulls.
He started riding bulls at the age of 15 and kept
it up for seven years until he broke his collarbone,
which didn’t stop him from still travelling to rodeos
with his friends.
“It all kind of happened by accident, really,” said
Prescott, explaining what got him his start as a bull-
fighter 12 years ago in Rockyford. “I was just trav-
elling with a buddy, just kind of helping him drive.
A bullfighter didn’t show up and they were going to
postpone the bull riding, so I said, well heck, I’ll do it,
and it turned out I was decent at it and they hired me
for the next weekend.”
Despite sustaining broken ribs, multiple bruises and
the occasional black eye along the way, Prescott has
enjoyed a successful career as a bullfighter for more
than a decade.
Prescott, who will celebrate his 34th birthday on
Sept. 15, is vowing not to let his latest injury slow him
down.
“The funny thing about rodeoing is it usually tells
you when it’s time, but as long as I can save these
guys and I’m still at the top of my game, I’ll go as long
as I can,” said Prescott, who went under the knife for
surgery on his left hand on Aug. 6, the day after go-

ing face-to-face with a nasty group of bulls during the
final performance of this year’s Strathmore Stampede.
“Maybe something will happen, and I’ll have to give
’er up quicker; but I’d like to go at least until I’m 40 if
at all possible.”
It was back on June 22 in Medicine Hat during a
Professional Bull Riders Canadian tour event, billed
as Thunderbuck in the Badlands, when Prescott sus-
tained his hand injury.
“I just kind of jammed it on a bull’s head,” he said.
“Our job is to get their heads up. He just threw his
head up and jammed it and broke the metacarpal
bone in four spots and dislocated it.”
Just how bad was it? In order to perform surgery,
doctors had to re-break the bones in his hand.
“I just got my first cast off yesterday,” said Prescott
on Sunday. “They ended up putting 11 screws, two
plates, 18 stitches and a chunk of bone from my hip.
They took a chunk of bone and did a bone graft in
my thumb. It was so messed up that they just had to
rebuild it up.”
To top it all off, Prescott went back in for surgery on
his right hand on Tuesday.
“When I was in there, (the doctor) went to com-
pare my good thumb to my bad thumb,” Prescott ex-
plained. “He says to me, ‘man, you don’t even have a Local bullfighter Ty Prescott battled through injuries to take part in

Local woman runs to advocate for positive mental health

ADELLE ELLIS
Times Reporter
Jessi Chayer’s birthday wish came true
this year when she not only completed
an ultra-marathon on her birthday as a
fundraiser for an important organiza-
tion close to her heart, but also raised
twice the amount she was hoping to.
The Strathmore resident ran 102 kilo-
metres (km) from Strathmore to Drum-
heller on Aug. 9 to raise funds and
awareness for the Centre for Suicide
Prevention (CSP) in Calgary. CSP is a
suicide awareness group that runs sem-
inars and workshops for community
members and those who deal in higher
risk areas surrounding mental health
with a higher potential suicide risk.
The journey took Chayer 16 hours
with breaks and 13.5 hours in actual
running time.
Chayer started her run on Aug. 9 at
the corner of Hillview Estates as her
friend Tobey Kai sang her off at 5 a.m.
to an original song written especially
for her titled Running.
She headed north on Highway 817
before turning east on Highway 564,
north on Highway 21 to the correction
line to continue following Highway 564
east before meeting up with Highway
56 and following that north down the
hill into Rosedale. Her final stop was
at the Drumheller Fire Department at
9 p.m. in honour of a fallen firefighter
and friend.
“I’ve always been a big advocate of
mental health to begin with simply
because I battle it and I know a lot of
people in my life and loved ones who
do; I’ve even lost a few friends myself
to suicide,” said Chayer, noting that
her husband’s close colleague, Captain
Barry Dawson with the Calgary Fire De-
partment, lost his life to suicide in No-
vember 2017.
Chayer, along with raising funds for
CSP, was running for Dawson in hopes
of sparking a light on the stigma of
mental health and awareness that sui-
cide risks can pose a threat to anyone,
even seemingly strong people.
“I would really like people to remem-
ber Barry and I would like people to
actually see what the Centre for Suicide
Prevention has to offer,” she said. “They
offer a more advanced and updated
education on what mental health and
suicide is, because I think people are
looking often in the wrong places.”
Chayer set a goal to raise $1,000
for CSP, but as word got out, her total
quickly doubled to closer to $2,000 in
donations.
This is not the first ultra-marathon for
the avid runner and mother of five chil-
dren. Last year on her birthday, she ran
an 80-km run with her friend, also to
raise funds for CSP.
Although she had many offers from

Commercial developments
pass CMRB scrutiny
SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor
One county resident will be pleased
to hear that commercial developments
will be welcomed in the West Wheat-
land Highway 1 Area Structure Plan
(WH1ASP), as they have an applica-
tion to develop a restaurant/service
station in Origin Business Park.
Commercial development for the
business park was passed by the inter-
im Calgary Metropolitan Region Board
(CMRB) on July 4, and a third and final
reading was accepted by Wheatland
County council on Aug. 20.
It is hoped the approval encourages
economic development in the busi-
ness park, which has been slow to de-
velop in the past.
“We are pleased to advise that we
did not receive a challenge to CMRB
administration’s recommendations,”
said Jordon Copping, CMRB chief of-
ficer, in the approval letter to Wheat-
land County.
The WH1ASP previously did not
provide for the development of su-
permarkets, service stations, big box
stores or standalone commercial retail
units.
It is one of the first applications sent
to the CMRB for approval under new

The “blue ribbon panel”, appointed
by the new UCP government in May,
was to look at ways to bring Alberta’s

corporations, removed the $1.75 billion
revenue from the carbon tax, and also
offered a secondary tax cut – the edu-

gas producers in rural Alberta.
“This exceptional panel will offer
great experience and expertise to give
us an honest read of the province’s fi-

finance minister and Dave Mowat, for-

The blue ribbon panel’s report was
delivered to the Alberta finance de-

to be released to the public sometime
around the Labour Day weekend.

ties, including education, were put on
hold and interim supply of half the
