  • The Southern Alberta Historic Markers Project 199
    Boatright: The Southern Alberta Historic Markers Project 199 Remembering the Early Saints in Canada: The Southern Alberta Historic Markers Project Gary L. Boatright Jr. In 1989, the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada designated the community of Stirling—a quaint town of just over 1,000 people located on the plains of Southern Alberta—a National Historic Site for being “the best- preserved Canadian example of the distinctive settlement pattern known as a Mormon Agricultural Village or the Plat of Zion.”1 Recognizing the potential the designation provided to increase the historic visibility of the area and po- tentially attract tourists, local community leaders organized a steering com- mittee to determine ways to share the rich history of the area with its citizens and those traveling through the settlements.2 At the request of this committee, representatives from the LDS Church History Department (CHD) visited the settlements of Cardston, Magrath, Raymond, and Stirling, Alberta. Here they toured local historic sites, met with community and provincial leaders, and discussed ways the Church could sup- port local historic preservation initiatives. From these meetings the Church History Department committed to oversee two projects: (1) a modest redo of the historical exhibit in the Guest Centre at the Cardston Alberta Temple, and (2) development and installation of several historic markers in Southern Alberta. In April 2011, CHD staff installed a new exhibit in the temple Guest Centre that focused on the early settlement of the area and the history and architecture of the temple. Following the exhibit installation, CHD staff and local community leaders Scott Barton, Wade Alston, Ryan Leuzinger, Larry GA RY L.

T2S 2V1 Attention: Mr. Miles Stroh Director of Regulatory FortisAlberta Inc. and the Town of Magrath Franchise Agreement and Municipal Franchise Fee Rider Proceeding 21522 1. On April 15, 2016, FortisAlberta Inc. applied to the Alberta Utilities Commission for approval of an electric franchise agreement with the Town of Magrath. The application was filed according to Rule 029,1 and included a copy of the franchise agreement, municipal franchise fee rider schedule, and the electric franchise application form. 2. Notice of the proposed franchise agreement was advertised on March 16, 2016, in the West Wind Weekly News. No objections or concerns related to the proposed franchise agreement were received. 3. The proposed franchise agreement, attached as Appendix 1, is based on the standard electric franchise agreement template approved in Decision 2012-255,2 has a term of 20 years or less, and will be effective January 1, 2017. Magrath has commenced reading of Bylaw No. 1203 approving the franchise agreement. 4. The proposed franchise fee of eight per cent, as shown on the municipal franchise fee rider schedule, attached as Appendix 2, maintains the current franchise fee. The proposed franchise fee will result in a continuation of a $4.31 average monthly charge for an average residential customer. 5. The AUC considers that the right granted to FortisAlberta by Magrath to construct, operate and maintain the electric distribution system is necessary and proper for the public convenience and properly serves the public interest. 6.
