  • Lamont County
    Church Capital of North America LAMONT COUNTY The strange new world did not deter them To build a church they could ill afford Their way of life was not complete Without an edifice to the Lord. Welcome to LAMONT COUNTY’S SELF-GUIDED CHURCH TOURS Lamont County has 47 churches— more per capita than anywhere else in North America. Lamont County has a proud legacy as the birthplace of the oldest and largest agricultural settlement of Ukrainians in Canada. The nucleus of the pioneer Ukrainian colony was in the vicinity of Star, some seven miles (11.6 km) north- east of the modern-day town of Lamont. There, in 1894, four immigrant families filed for adjacent homesteads at what became the centre of a thriving bloc settlement that eventually encompassed the region that now comprises the Kalyna Country Ecomuseum. Not surprisingly, the historic Star district was also the site where organized Christian life first took root among the Ukrainians of Alberta, about the same time that the sod huts originally put up as temporary shelters by the pioneers began to be replaced by modest, thatched-roofed houses. As more and more newcomers from Europe made East Central Alberta their home, Lamont County experienced a remarkable church-building boom expressive of the deep Christian faith brought over from the Old World by the set- tlers. This rich spiritual heritage is still very much in evi- dence today, in the numerous churches that can be found in the towns and villages and on country roads in virtually every part of the municipality.

  • Financial Indicator Graphs 2017
    2017 Financial Indicator Graphs Generated for: FLAGSTAFF COUNTY Financial Indicator Graphs Introduction The financial indicator graphs are intended to serve as a tool that may assist council and administration with operational decisions. The comparative measures may be useful in assessing past performance and for budget planning. Each municipality is compared to a group of similar size urban municipalities, or to rural municipalities with similar tax base. The comparison group is shown on the last slide. Custom graphs can be created comparing your municipality to other Alberta municipalities. Financial Advisory Services is available to assist you in interpreting the information contained in the graphs. Please be aware that advisors will not have access to any of the custom graphs you create, but would still be able to assist with the underlying formulas and data used to create all graphs. It should be noted that that the financial indicator graphs are point-in-time documents. The system is updated daily as new information is added to the municipal financial database. As such graphs will reflect the current data set and the results will be subject to change as the database is updated and verified. However, most information from the previous reporting year will have been posted by the fall of the subsequent year. Other points to note are: - The range for most of the graphs is 2012 to 2017. - Caution should be used when interpreting results as each municipality has unique characteristics affecting how it compares to the group.
