What I liked about it was the opportunity to grow and develop my business, not knowing how to accomplish this before the incubator. Next, I was excited about the opportunities to go to courses and network with the other members within the incubator! My business has now grown and I attend markets and trade shows in the area and am looking forward to Gypsie West Boutique hitting the road as a travelling mobile fashion truck .I could have never done this without the RABC Opportunities Centre!” Colinda Scott – Owner Gypsie West Boutique RABC - RMH Opportunity Centre Our Graduates– That Game Store RABC - RMH Opportunity Centre I first came to speak to Michelle in January after seeing an ad in the Mountaineer hinting at the opening of a small business incubator on Main Street. I had LOTS of ideas, but the one that I had the most hands on experience with was video games. After a few appointments speaking with Michelle at the Rural Alberta Business Centre Rocky Mountain House, I was ready to sign a lease and That Game Store was officially on the ground and running. I spent eight months in the Small Business Incubator on Main Street. Eight months that I would not have been able to afford to get the ball rolling on my own. Through an intense combination of hustle and continued support, That Game Store was able to grow it's customer base and inventory to a point that moving on was the only way we could grow further. Full reward with minimized risk. Without the RABC, I fear I would have not made it through those first key building months. Above and beyond the obvious financial benefits to starting small, there was the education! The RABC offers a TON of options and learning sessions to further the tact of today's entrepreneur. From Social media and financing options down to why it's so hard for me to type just a 30 word e-mail (Colorful Personalities - I went twice this year) there is no limit to what a person can learn about themselves through these sessions. I rip down the fourth wall with such enthusiasm because I know there are more people like me in this town. People with excellent training in their field who just need a little help in making it THEIR field! Where there's a will there's a way, and the RABC can get you on the right path if you're willing to do the work to get there. This is a service that can (and already is) changing the face of Rocky Mountain House, Alberta for the better! Lastly Michelle, THANK YOU. I mean it more than I think a Facebook post is going to reiterate but I hope your clients truly realize what an impact you are having on improving the amenities in this town. When I first came to speak to you, i was in between two corporate job offers both coming from the largest malls in Edmonton, and Calgary. I didn't want to leave Rocky, there is truly just something special out here. In the span of twelve months since we first spoke, my life has changed dramatically for the better. The freedom your advice and guidance has afforded me is (ten minute pause before I decided there was no word to describe it). I consider myself very fortunate to have met you, and it has been an absolute privilege to work with you this past year. - Dustin Wright That Game Store RABC - RMH Opportunity Centre Our Graduates – KES Graphic Designs “The incubator was great for all the support from both Michelle at RABC and the other tenants. It gave me a place, resources and support to start up and has allowed me to network/make connections. I may not have made otherwise. I am very thankful for the opportunity to start my business in this affordable way, it allowed me to grow and build my client base.” Kaitlin Sambrooke. RABC - RMH Opportunity Centre Our Graduates– Deep Reflections RABC - RMH Opportunity Centre Our Graduates: Art Scene Moved to her own store (1200sqft) in the down town core after a great six weeks in the incubator. As of March 2014 she has expanded her business again to a larger space on Main Street. “The good news is that that incubator is working!! Thank you so much for the opportunity and believing in my idea! Heather Molchanko o/a Art Scene” RABC - RMH Opportunity Centre Our Graduates: ART Business Development “Thank you so much for the opportunities afforded at the Opportunities center. Warm Regards, Co Stiganduhr Business Developer ART Business Development” RABC - RMH Opportunity Centre Our Graduates– Dori Westin Coldwell Banker Realty “Having an office at the RABC was a great and affordable opportunity for my business. I appreciated the convenience of the fax/photocopier machine and Internet, necessary for my work as well as the professionalism of the other tenants. Without the availability of that office, I would have been very challenged to keep my business moving forward. I have and will continue to recommend it to other new businesses.” Dori Westin Associate Broker Coldwell Banker ONTRACK Realty RABC - RMH Opportunity Centre Our Graduates: Ron Alvord Design – CAD Designer “I would like to thank you and the RABC for the unique and helpful opportunity the incubator program gave me. My business has grown from an idea to an actual profiting business, and I believe that the incubator program is responsible for that. Without the opportunity and support I have received from you Michelle and the RABC my continued growth and success would not have been possible. Thank you Michelle, the RABC, and the town of Rocky Mountain House. I am forever grateful and wish the program and all those lucky enough to be a part of it continued success. Yours, Ronald James Alvord” RABC - RMH Opportunity Centre Goals & Deliverables The location of the RABC Opportunities Centre on main street is in line with the Town’s Economic Development goal of business revitalization in the down town core of our community. To date four of graduates have leased spaces in the down-town area. The ultimate goal of the incubator is to enhance economic development in the area. Since the inception of the project , four businesses have moved into the incubator from a home- based location – expanding their business to store-front, while ten businesses were brand new start-ups. The growth and expansion of the businesses while in the incubator has also generated employment growth. As two businesses in the RABC Opportunities Centre have hired employees to assist in operations. Total employment growth to the community including graduates and current tenants is 4 full-time equivalent positions. The impact of the RABC Opportunities Centre can be seen throughout the province as Slave Lake has modeled their mixed incubator after the Rocky Mountain House Model. The Town of Rimbey and the Rimbey Chamber of Commerce has also partnered to develop a mixed business incubator in Rimbey using the same model established by the RABC Opportunities Centre.

    LEVEL OF DESCRIPTION: Series No.: AU023.004S FORMS PART OF: AU023 Martha Kostuch fonds TITLE: Alberta Fish and Game Association series CREATOR: Kostuch, Martha DATE RANGE: 1977-1991 EXTENT: 1.08 m of textual records ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY/BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: The Rocky Mountain House Chapter of the Alberta Fish and Game Association (AFGA), (also known as Zone 3), was formed in 1979 by Tom and Martha Kostuch and other outdoor enthusiasts who wanted a voice in how fish and wildlife was managed in Alberta. Martha Kostuch was a director for Zone 3 from 1979-1980, and at the provincial level was voted Chair of the Renewable Resources Committee from 1982-1990 and Vice- President of the Executive Committee in 1990. The AFGA is an organization concerned with fishing, hunting, animal habitat, conservation, natural spaces and the laws that govern those concerns. During the years that Martha Kostuch was involved with the AFGA, many of these issues were debated and argued over at the Zone level and at the Executive level. At the annual conferences, decisions on AFGA positions were voted on and resolutions were forwarded to the appropriate Provincial Government departments with the expectation to have some influence on decision making at the provincial level. The Ministers of the receiving departments always acknowledged the AFGA contribution. Beginning in the 1990s, the AFGA’s resolutions became largely ignored by the provincial government and AFGA's influence as a lobby group on hunting and fishing laws and the environment was quite diminished. One of the mandates of AFGA was to educate hunters, and in particular youth, about hunting, fishing, conservation and wilderness skills and survival.

MATTHEW PARISH AND MISSIONS Rocky Mountain House - St. Matthew Church Caroline - St. Joseph the Workman Church Evergreen - Jesuit Martyrs Church Rocky Mountain House - St. Matthew Evergreen - Jesuit Martyrs Caroline - St. Joseph Bulletin QR Code INTRODUCTION TO THE LITURGY OF THE SUNDAY The Lord continually calls us – do we have ears to hear? Samuel does not recognize God’s voice, but he is alert and obedient, listening and ready for action. We hear that he ran when called, and another time he rose. Eli gives Samuel the correct response: Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. We live in a world of noise and distraction. Are we ready to answer? Can we even hear? In the first reading, Samuel does not recognize God calling his name; Eli instructs him to respond: Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul declares the body is to be used, not for sin, but to glorify God as a temple of the Holy Spirit. In today’s Gospel, Andrew and Simon Peter begin to follow Jesus.

  • 2010 Wildlife Management Unit 326 Elk and Moose
    2010 Wildlife Management Unit 326 elk and moose Photo: Maria Didkowsky Section Authors: Anne Hubbs and Maria Didkowsky Hubbs, A., and M. Didkowsky. 2012. Wildlife Management Unit 326 elk and moose. Pages 43-49. In: M. Ranger and S.Webb. Delegated big game surveys, 2009/2010 survey season. Data Report, D-2011-001, produced by the Alberta Conservation Association, Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada. WMU 326 is a desirable unit for both moose and elk hunters. There are approximately 400 elk hunters annually in this unit, with demand for licenses during the ‘Calling Season’ exceeding the supply for the past few years. Moreover, antlered and antlerless moose and elk are harvested year-round by aboriginal people in this area. In 2008, hunting of only antlered moose was permitted, with a season from 24 September – 30 November. The season was divided into two seasons: a ‘Calling Season’ from 24 September – 31 October, and a ‘Late Season’ from 1 – 30 November. The harvest goal for moose is presently 4% of the estimated pre-season population. Moose hunter success according to hunter harvest questionnaires has averaged 56% in the Calling Season and 61% in the Late Season over the last five years (ASRD unpublished data, 2004 - 2008). The harvest goal for bull elk is 6% of the estimated pre-season population (or 37% of antlered males). A general hunting season with a 3-point antler minimum is in place to protect the majority (~80%) of yearling bulls and to increase bull:cow ratios. The bow season (general license) is from 25 August – 16 September and the rifle season from 17 September – 30 November.
