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.

  • AB Today – Daily Report February 4, 2019
    AB Today – Daily Report February 4, 2019 Quotation of the day “The only thing more volatile than oil prices these days are cryptocurrencies, so I would say to Mr. Kenney, you’re going to have to do a little bit better than that.” Premier Rachel Notley criticizes UCP Leader Jason Kenney’s suggestion that the oil industry ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ could provide abundant energy for cryptocurrency mining. Today in AB On the schedule The legislature will reconvene on March 18 for the government’s final throne speech before the spring election. Election readiness events take centre stage as parties prepare for writ drop Premier Rachel Notley rallied party faithful at a campaign kickoff in Calgary on Thursday, a day ​ ​ ​ ​ ahead of the official election period. Per the Elections Act, February 1 marked the start of the campaign period and was the first day the premier had the option of calling the election. Under the act, the election can be called anytime between February 1 and May 3. Notley has previously stated the election will be held within the legislated time frame prescribed in the legislation, but has not yet set a date. Pundits are betting the writ will be dropped soon after the March 18 throne speech. “Make no mistake — the choice ahead is the starkest Albertans have faced in decades, a choice for how we build the future and a choice for whom that future is built,” Notley said at the rally. “Is it built for everyday families, workers, everyday Albertans, or is it built for those at the top — elite political insiders and the wealthiest one per cent?” With Notley’s popularity polling higher than her party’s, the NDP’s messaging has pivoted to building “Team Rachel.” Dozens of candidates and MLAs stood behind Notley on stage holding signs reading, “Rachel Notley.
