ADJOURN Page 2 of 37 Fairview Pioneer Museum Committee Box 1994 Fairview, Alberta T0H 1L0 To whom it may concern: Thank you for taking the time to meet with our delegation. We are the Fairview Pioneer Museum Committee, one of five subcommittees of the Fairview Agricultural Society. We operate two museums, one located in downtown Fairview and the other museum is located at Cummings Lake Recreational Park. Through the hard work of past and present volunteers both museums have the distinction of being accredited as "Recognized Museums" by the Alberta Museum Association in the Province of Alberta. RCMP Museum The RCMP Centennial Museum depicts a typical home from the 1920’s era with displays on all three floors. The museum is filled with artifacts and photos that capture and preserve the history of Fairview and surrounding areas. Fairview Pioneer Museum This is a ten acre parcel of land located at Cummings Lake that has historic buildings from Fairview and area. Most of the buildings are set up with artifacts and there are numerous farming implements on display. Also located on this site is the Marshall Rolling Exhibits Building. It is 60’ x 120’ metal building that has been used for storage. Our volunteers have been working on the Marshall Rolling Exhibit Building and to date we have installed a 30’ x 60’ concrete pad, constructed a 2 level display area with open atrium and installed rig mats covered with plywood and painted in the remaining 60’ x 90’ area of the building. It is our goal to open this building with the story of Local History which will include the Earliest Inhabitants (Native Americans), Early Settlements (Dunvegan, Waterhole), Coming of the Railroad (Move to Fairview), Permanent Settlements (Fairview and area) and more current displays. The Fairview Agricultural Society has applied for a CFEP grant for 2018 on our behalf to continue work on this building. Plans included a workshop, lighting and concrete pads. Page 3 of 37 The RCMP Museum is open by appointment only and is in need of many repairs. An estimate was done in 2015 for a total of $31,500. Our committee has made a motion to move the artifacts from the RCMP building to the Fairview Pioneer Museum. We would like to have the building moved to Cummings Lake but the costs are too prohibitive for our group. The Museum Committee receives funding from the Fairview Agricultural Society through provincial funding, casino monies and donations. There is no admission charge to visit the museums. Normally we hire a Maintenance Person and 2 students (Canadian Summer Jobs Program) from May to October. With the Cummings Lake Campground closure and highway construction our visitor count has been very low the past couple of years. For 2018 we are planning to hold some events to attract people back to the museum. We are here today requesting funding in the amount of $10,000 yearly that would help with the cost of wages, utilities and maintenance of buildings. We, the Fairview Pioneer Museum Committee would like to thank the Town of Fairview for all of the past, present and future cooperation. Our request is made so we can further Procure, Preserve and Present the history of Fairview and surrounding areas for many years to come. Thank you Page 4 of 37 TOWN OF FAIRVIEW PROVINCE OF ALBERTA MINUTES OF REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING March 20, 2018 - Council Chambers - Fairview Provincial Building - 7:00 PM Present: Mayor: Gordon MacLeod 7:00 p.m. - 8:24 p.m. Councillors: Jenna Armstrong 7:00 p.m. - 8:24 p.m. Paul Buck 7:00 p.m. - 8:24 p.m. Dianne Golob 7:00 p.m. - 8:24 p.m. Nicole Halvorson 7:00 p.m. - 8:24 p.m. Bryarly Parker (via 7:00 p.m. - 8:24 p.m. phone) 7:00 p.m. - 8:24 p.m. Tim Schindel CAO Daryl Greenhill Legislative Services & Jason Martin Bylaw Finance Pavel Lyzhin Media: Chris Eakin Others: Glenda Farnden S.T.A.R.S.
