Our municipality was neither informed nor considered while this decision has been progressing. Multiple municipalities from Nonhern Alberta met with Minister Hoffman (Apri|18) to voice our concerns and were assured that we would be advised/consulted/informedbefore any decision was made. It was very disheartening to hear from Gordon Bates (Executive Director — Air Ambulance Services) at AHS, that a decision to award the contract to a single proponent was imminent. This bad decision will be very devastating for the residents of Northern Alberta for the following reasons: - Key components of the RFP process have been completely ignored. For example, one of the criteria identified within the RFP was the condition that hangar space he provided at the air base. The successful proponent does not have hangar space as there is no available space to be had. This calls the entire RFP process into question. Ifthere is no hangar space available, response time will increase as the service will have to come from some other community. Since Peace River had the most Air Ambulance flights last year (1400+), it seems counter-intuitive to bring the planes from outside the community.

  • Heather Stefanson Finding and Maintaining the Balance by Brian Campbell Politics Has Been Part of Heather Stefanson’S Life, Almost from the Very Beginning
    Heather Stefanson Finding and Maintaining the Balance by Brian Campbell Politics has been part of Heather Stefanson’s life, almost from the very beginning. Over the years she has been involved in both Federal and Provincial politics, either as a volunteer, an employee, or as an elected official. However, being a political mom has its challenges. Heather says, “The most challenging part is balancing family life, with kids who play hockey and volley ball and ultimate (Frisbee) and soccer and all their other sports and birthday parties and other special occasions; and at times I have committee, or we’re in session and the time is not my own.” “My kids were born into this,” Heather says. “I was elected before they were born.” Heather and Jason have two children; Victoria (14) and Tommy (12) and she says that the secret to the balance is that, “I have a great supportive husband. He travels a lot, but he is very helpful when he is home.” Heather’s political future began to take shape when, after graduating from St. John’s-Ravenscourt, she went to the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario to get her undergraduate degree in Political Science. From there she moved to Ottawa to take a job as Special Assistant in the Prime Minister’s office under Brian Mulroney. But Heather’s interest in politics goes back even further than that. Her father ran against Lloyd Axworthy in 1977. “I can recall going door to door when I was seven years old,” Heather says. “And it was a lot of fun.

A two-body Legislature is known as a bicameral Legislature. PEI’s first Governor, Walter Patterson, was instructed to establish a House of Assembly in which representatives were popularly elected (unlike Council members, who were appointed). The combination of a Council and House was a requirement for the enactment of legislation under British law. Though Patterson became Governor in 1769, the first House of Assembly was not elected until 1773. Early sessions of the Assembly met in private homes and taverns. A Sergeant-at-Arms of the time commented that this made for a “damn queer parliament”. By 1825, the House of Assembly was working on establishing its rights and privileges, particularly in terms of self- regulation and authority.
