- Presented Our 2016 Race Season was very successful. With our lower admission price we saw our attendance increase over 100% on most evenings. Our struggle in 2016 was the weather which affected many outdoor events and certainly the farmers in this area, our neighbour was still trying to get his crop finished in mid-November. Weather is something we can’t control and we work with it the best we can.

FCSS MONTHLY SUMMARY
MONTH October, 2016
MANAGER REPORT COMPLETED BY: L. Mueller, Manager FCSS Attended the one day intensive learning about PTSD: Helping is healing. Post- traumatic stress disorder is not a mental illness but a psychological injury. These injuries can occur at any time resulting in the inability to distinguish between past and present events or process emotions. When confronted with similar stimuli (that occurred during the trauma) the response will be negative. Met with the senior volunteers in Falun and they are excited to begin planning the 2017 Seniors Wellness Conference. The event will be held in Millet in June, 2017. The seniors that organized the 2016 event received recognition for their volunteer work. I framed and delivered their award to Falun. Attended the Community Solutions meeting (previously named the Homelessness Committee). I shared information with members including the application of two grant proposals to engage the community and facilitate conversations to respond to poverty and homelessness in the community.

She will work 12 hours per week and will support existing FCSS programs while engaging community collaboration and awareness, assessing needs and developing appropriate and eligible responses. Completed and submitted the AUMA grant and the Human Services grant. If successful, the funding received from both grants would provide an opportunity to hire a community facilitate to engage community and stakeholders to address and respond to poverty and homelessness in Wetaskiwin. Brenda Bull completed the Poverty and Homelessness assessment. Contacted Canada Revenue Agency to discuss volunteer training for Income Tax volunteers. Was asked to meet with Deacon Leo from Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Deacon Leo shared the church’s response to growing need within the community. Deacon Leo shared that he is unable to meet all the needs of the community and asked if FCSS could support, lead or participate in positive responses to poverty and homelessness. I have sent out invitations to various church leaders to meet and

Departmental Report - Engineering Page 62 of 90 and Development - Presented by AgendaItem#8b)
ENGINEERING Since the last reporting period, the Engineering department has had significant staff turnover. To address the effects of this a department restructuring has occurred as well as the introduction of new forms, templates, tools, and training to help staff be successful in their tasks moving forward.
One area of improvement has been to establish a reliable filing system and pull all documents out of staff offices and get them filed in a central area. This will help with information sharing, historical retention and ultimately save the City money by knowing what has been done in the past.
Moving forward this group is getting prepared for the upcoming construction season and will be developing a regular project status update for Council through memo or at P&T to ensure that project information is shared in a timely manner.
DEVELOPMENT Since the last reporting period the Development department has joined forces with Engineering to ensure that consistent development protocol is maintained. This will help ensure that residents and developers are being provided with timely and professional high quality services related to their development or construction activities.
The following table is a summary of the development permits issued in 2016;
Residential $ 3,217,220 Commercial $ 1,165,100 Industrial $10,002,000 Institutional $ 20,000 Total $14,404,320

Updates from our provincial representative indicate that the Garden Meadows Reservoir project is eligible for the Clean Water grant and an application was forwarded by the province on our behalf. The City expects to hear on approvals up to the 2017 budget announcement however, some will not be announced until that time.
In 2017 the grant group will continue to look for other funding sources and apply to offset costs to residents as much as possible.
AIRPORT The airport has seen significant staffing changes since the last reporting period. For 2016 the required live mock disaster was completed successfully and in November Transport Canada (TC) completed their audit. To address TC’s concerns the Director of Engineering and Development has taken on the Accountable Member status and has updated the City’s safety management system plan to include areas of concerns from TC.
In 2017 airport training will be completed and staff will develop a Council presentation for a long term strategy addressing any outstanding concerns.
WETASKIWIN COMMUNITY TRANSIT SERVICE Since the last reporting period the “Transportation” department is now called the “Transit” department to better reflect the services they provide. In the fall, the Medically at Risk Driver (MARD) program at the U of A selected the WCTS to be part of a pilot project regarding ride scheduling software. Once the pilot project is completed an update to Council will be provided.
In 2017 Transit will look at ways to expand services and will present Council with a feasibility report for consideration.

Departmental Report - Engineering Page 64 of 90 and Development - Presented by AgendaItem#8b)
PUBLIC WORKS SHOP Since the last report the shop has completed their regular maintenance on equipment needed. There was a thorough review of all fleet prior to budget to repurpose two trucks. This group is continuing to review usage of vehicles and will make changes as needed to ensure that the fleet is being used efficiently. In 2017 a cost-benefit analysis will be completed to outline leasing vs. owning options for Council’s consideration.
The shop is continuing to search for best price options for replacement and maintenance while maintaining compliance with purchasing policies and regulations.
PARKS Since the last report the Parks department has completed all summer and fall clean-up activities and has moved to winter operations. There were 20 new Elm trees planted in 2016 to help address the erosion of the tree canopy. The remaining funds for 2016 were used to order more trees for planting in the 2017 season that will be held at the nursery until needed.
The parks group has been preparing for the 150 year celebration in 2017 and has placed orders to have all plantings with a red and white theme. For winter activities the parks group has been maintaining the outdoor rinks, clearing sidewalks and winter pruning as staff are available.
TRANSPORTATION Since the last reporting period the ‘Works” department is now called the “Transportation” department to more accurately reflect the work they complete. Transportation completed over 1,900 pothole repairs using 150 tonnes of asphalt. The crack sealing crew was challenged in 2016 by the rain however, they were able to use 10,000 litres of tar and over 100 tonnes of materials to complete their work. This group completed or assisted with several projects including the fire training center pad and utility repairs.
The Transportation group has completed all summer and fall clean-up and has moved on to winter operations. For winter operations they are focused on snow removal, sanding, plowing wind drifts and developing an in depth asset management database.
UTILITIES Since the last reporting period the Utilities department has had some minor reporting changes with Waste and Recycling moving under this group. This was done primarily to have both utility services together. This group did an amazing job of keeping the City’s water, storm and wastewater systems functioning and continues with ongoing maintenance work to ensure safe and reliable customer services are sustained.
In 2017 this group will take a serious look at what major capital projects are going to be required within the short, medium and long term. This report will be given to Council with funding strategies as well as any other investigations that may need to be completed prior to developing project charters. In addition the Utilities group is preparing to receive infrastructure from General Electric as part of a pilot project to find ways of extending the

life of the wastewater lagoons and increase the effluent quality which will in turn improve the environment.
WASTE AND RECYCLING Since the last reporting period the Waste and Recycling department has been busy preparing for the scales replacement at the landfill amongst their regular duties. In 2016 the recycling depot collected 556 aerosol cans, 5,400 litres of paint and 4,200 litres of other hazardous materials during the fall round up.
At the landfill AECOM completed the airspace survey and financial analysis and has also completed the fall monitoring work. The landfill fall free week saw 1,121 customers pass over the scales with only 16 of those occurring during the extended hours.
Moving forward in 2017 this group will look for ways to increase efficiencies and present Council with not only opportunities to increase earning potential but also increase levels of service around composting and recycling options.

Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame to Induct Four New Members and Honour a Belt of Orion Recipient in 2017
Wetaskiwin, Alberta – November 9, 2016… Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame (CAHF) will induct four new members, and recognize a Belt of Orion recipient, at its 44th annual gala dinner and ceremony, to be held Thursday June 15, 2017, at Vancouver International Airport.
The new members are:
James Erroll Boyd: WWI pilot and co-founder of the Air Scouts of Canada Robert John Deluce: Aviation executive; Founder of Porter Airlines Daniel A Sitnam; Aviation executive; Founder of Helijet International and Pacific Heliport Services Rogers Eben Smith: NASA and NRC test pilot; RCAF Pilot Royal Canadian Air Force "Golden Hawks" aerobatic team: Belt of Orion Award for Excellence
CAHF inductees are selected for their contributions to Canada’s development through their integral roles in the nation’s aviation history. This year’s inductees will join the ranks of the 224 esteemed men and women inducted since the Hall’s formation in 1973.
Rod Sheridan, CAHF chairman of the board of directors, said, “The CAHF is proud to honour these four well-deserving individuals for their significant contributions to Canadian aviation, and to Canada’s development as a nation.
“Our 2017 inductees come from backgrounds that span the width of Canada’s unique aviation industry. Aviation has brought Canadians together as a country, unlike any other form of transport. Our new inductees reflect that cohesion through their pioneering activities and spirit.”
James Errol Boyd was an early entrant into the Royal Naval Air Service from the Canadian Infantry, flew anti Zeppelin operations over the UK and coastal patrols from Dunkirk until being interned in the Netherlands. Postwar, he flew mail along the St Lawrence and graduated to long distance over water, in record-setting flights to Bermuda and Haiti. His great claim to fame was his west to east trans-Atlantic flight in October 1930 in Bellanca WP-2 Columbia/Maple Leaf. It was the first crossing by a Canadian and completed in the hazardous autumn season, a feat not repeated again until made necessary by the demands of war ten years later. Boyd then put his fame to work to promote "air mindedness" in the
Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame Page 78 of 90 2017 Inductees - Presented by AgendaItem#10d)
Canadian public by sustained work through the Toronto Star and Star Weekly magazines. He also co-founded the Air Scouts of Canada that laid the foundations for the Air Cadet organization. Upon the outbreak of war in 1939 he offered to serve again and became a central figure in the Clayton-Knight Committee whereby young Americans were recruited to join the RCAF prior to Pearl Harbor. His entire adult life was spent in furthering the cause of aviation on the North American continent. He died in 1960.
Robert John Deluce has been engaged in the aviation industry all of his life since he began working for his parents' White River Air Services as a teenager in the 1960s. His subsequent career has taken him through a succession of positions in a host of Canadian aviation companies operating mainly in central Canada. Chief among them are norOntair, Austin Airways, Air Creebec, Air Manitoba, Air Alliance and Canada 3000. In 2000 he began discussions which culminated in the launch of a new concept in regional air travel from the then Toronto Island Airport in October 2006 under the banner of Porter, using 20 new Bombardier Q400 aircraft and providing a "flying refined" experience at modest fares. Porter has grown to become a real power in the heavily travelled eastern Canada area and has expanded into US destinations. A former Minister of Transport credits Bob Deluce with saving the Island Airport, now named Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, from ultimate failure.
Daniel A Sitnam has amassed an outstanding record as an entrepreneur in rotary flight operations in British Columbia and as one of the industry's most progressive and admired company leaders. Thirteen years after a chance encounter lead to his first experience with helicopters he launched, with partner Alistair MacLennan, Helijet Airways offering two-crew, twin-engine IFR harbour to harbour services between Vancouver and Victoria. Thirty years later he is still president and CEO of Helijet International and its subsidiary, Pacific Heliport Services. In addition to guiding this company to success where many others failed, Danny Sitnam is legendary for his proactive mentoring and development of staff, especially female flight crew, and his insistence on core company values of safety, customer dedication, mutual respect and trust and professionalism. His accomplishments have been recognized by the Helicopter Association International and the BC Aviation Council.
Rogers Eben Smith is one the most renowned test pilots in the western world and has been recognized internationally as such by his peers for many years. He received his aeronautical degrees from the University of Toronto, following which he served as a fighter pilot in the RCAF. A lack of test flying opportunities led him to the National Research Council’s National Aeronautical Establishment where he was involved with automated stability trials on helicopters. Dual citizenship allowed him to accept an offer from NASA to join its test pilot program and then the Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory where he was heavily engaged in developing fly by wire systems. A return to the NAE as Chief Test Pilot was followed by 18 years at NASA Ames from which he retired as Chief Pilot and Director of Flight Operations. His experimental test flying there has been characterized as being at the frontiers of knowledge. Known as one of the "Canadian mafia" among test pilots worldwide, he went on to work for SAAB, EADS and Dornier and to lead the Society of Experimental Test Pilots. ·

Belt of Orion Award for Excellence: Royal Canadian Air Force "Golden Hawks" aerobatic team
The RCAF "Golden Hawks" aerobatic team was formed in March, 1959 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of flight in Canada and the 35th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force. It was the first official Canadian national aerobatic team and its mandate was to showcase RCAF capabilities to the Canadian public. The "Golden
Hawks" were to operate Canadair F-86 Sabre Mk 5 aircraft from RCAF Station Chatham and to exist for one year. From a standing start, the team under the leadership of S/L Fern Villeneuve (CAHF 2006 Inductee) developed a brilliant non-stop program featuring new formations and routines not previously used and had an extremely successful 1959 airshow season. Though stood down at the end of the season, popular demand resulted in the team's reinstatement and it embarked on an unparalleled record of success until it was disbanded in 1964 after 317 shows, a 100% serviceability rate and an estimated 15 million spectators. The legendary team became a symbol of the professionalism, skill and daring needed to be a fighter pilot in the RCAF and its legacy lives on 50 years later in the form of names of sports teams, trophies, films and aircraft on display in the trademark metallic gold and red livery of the "Golden Hawks" Sabres. CAHF 2015 Inductee Col (Ret’d) George Miller flew with the team in 1962-63. The contribution of the "Golden Hawks" to Canada's aviation story was profound and well merits the award of the Belt of Orion.
Brief History of The Hall: Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame office is located at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, south of Edmonton, Alberta, with the Hall’s displays in the museum’s hangar. The Hall was founded in 1973, and its inductees have come from all across Canada, having led extraordinary lives as military and civilian pilots, doctors, scientists, inventors, engineers, astronauts and administrators.
The Hall strives to increase the public’s understanding and interest in aviation history by making its displays, archives, records and artifacts accessible to current and future generations. The heroism and courage embodied in the Members of the Hall serves to kindle the spirit of adventure in Canada’s youth.

Dear Mr Burgess,
The Electoral Boundaries Commission was appointed on October 31, 2016, and is beginning its work. The next year will be spent reviewing the boundaries and names ofthe 87 electoral constituencies in the province, in accordance with legal requirements, including those set out in the Electoral Boundaries Commission Act. The results of this review will impact your vote in future provincial elections.
In addition to myself, as Chair, the Commission members are Gwen Day from the County of Mountain View, Laurie Livingstone of Calgary, D. Jean Munn of Calgary, and W. Bruce McLeod of Acme.
One of the most important aspects of this review is hearing from interested Albertans who wish to contribute to the redrawing of Alberta's constituency map. I encourage you to participate in this public consultation. You may participate by preparing a written submission or by making a presentation at one of the public hearings, the dates and locations of which will soon be announced. Please visit our website at abebc.ca for information as to how and when you may take part as we travel throughout the province gathering feedback on how best to update the constituency map of Alberta.
Our interim report will be submitted to the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly before May 31, 2017, and our final report will be submitted by October 31, 2017. There will be an opportunity for public input again after the interim report is submitted to the Speaker.
Yours truly, N

Dear Mr. Burgess:
Re: 2017 Lodge Requisition
At the Wetaskiwin and Area Lodge Authority meeting on November 2i. 2016, the Board passed their20l 7 budget that included a lodge requisition for a total of $875,000. As per the attached 2017 Equalized Assessment calculation, the City accounts for 29.72% of this requisition for a total of $260,093.
The calculation sheet also shows the requisition from the past two years and we should note that the requisition has been held without any increase since 2013 as the board have always been very mindful of the impact that requisition can have on the overall taxes in our communities.
This constant requisition has been made possible by many years of hard work by WALA to make the lodge program sustainable and continue as an efficient and effective option for the seniors in our communities.
We trust that this good news willbe shared with Council and that your representatives on the board willbe congratulated for their commitment and dedication to WALA.
Ifyou should have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.
Yours truly,
Denis ees President and CEO The Bethany Group 780.679.2010 [email protected]
