20 BRAZEAU COUNTY
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION
SUBJECT: Regional Assessment Review Board and Regional Subdivision and Development Appeal Board DATE TO COUNCIL: July 16, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: J. Whaley, CAO ENDORSED BY: REVIEWED BY CAO: FILE NO:
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council enter into an arrangement to establish a regional assessment review board and a regional subdivision and development appeal board.
1. TOPIC DEFINED
Executive Summary
At the June 12 Village of Breton Council meeting a motion was passed to ask Brazeau County to enter into an arrangement to establish a regional assessment review board (ARB) and a regional subdivision and development appeal board (SDAB). The reason for the request is a result of the recently conducted municipal review by Municipal Affairs and that Breton has limited resources in the community to establish and maintain these boards. Any agreement set up with Breton for the two aforementioned boards would then become part of the Intermunicipal Collaboration framework (ICF), which is in the early stages of drafting, between Breton and Brazeau County.
A relevant point of note is that there has never been an appeal requiring an assessment review board to sit for Breton or Brazeau County, nor has there ever been a need for a subdivision development appeal board to sit for Breton. Brazeau County’s last SDAB hearing was February 26th, 2018.
Relevant Policy: None
Strategic Relevance: Creating these boards is in‐line with the goals of Brazeau County: “Brazeau County is strategically assigning financial and physical resources to meet ongoing service delivery to ensure the success of our greater community.”

Good day Jocelyn, at the June 12 council meeting a motion was passed to ask Brazeau County to enter into an arrangement to establish a regional assessment review board and a regional subdivision and development appeal board. The reason for the request is a result of the recently conducted municipal review by Municipal Affairs and that Breton has limited resources in the community to establish and maintain these boards. Attached are copies of the draft regional assessment review board bylaw required should Brazeau County accept our request. Please let me know if you need any other information on this matter in order for your council to consider our request. Thank you
Sincerely, Terry Molenkamp, Chief Administrative Officer Village of Breton Box 480 Breton, AB T0C 0P0 Phone: 780‐696‐3636, Fax: 780‐696‐3590

37 9 PM Routine
Alberta RCMP has been sending nightly notifications on their social media accounts to remind citizens to follow the #9PMRoutine. The #9PMRoutine is a movement that is supported by police forces across the world. People are encouraged to follow a routine checklist every night to double check their property is locked up and safe. A common question from the public is, “Why should I do this?” Property crimes are often crimes of opportunity and small things like locking doors and turning on lights can deter criminals. Last summer (June to August 2018) there were close to 36,000 property-related incidents in RCMP jurisdiction and almost 50 per cent of all reported bicycle thefts occurred in the summer months. Here are some ideas to include in your 9 p.m. routine: · Turn on outside lights at night · Lock your doors · Put away toys and bikes in a locked, safe location · Put away tools when you’re finished with them · Put away outdoor equipment such as lawn mowers and weed trimmers · Lock up off-highway vehicles (ATVs, dirt bikes, etc.) · Double check vehicles are locked and keys are removed Depending who you talk to, forming a habit can take anywhere from 21 to 66 days. This is why Alberta RCMP will be posting every night for two full months. By remembering to lock up and secure your property, you’re helping to create a safer Alberta. Join the movement by using #9PMRoutine and following our social media accounts on Twitter (@RCMPAlberta) and Facebook (@RCMPinAlberta). If you see something suspicious, report it to your local police service. If you see a crime in progress, call 911. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-8477 (TIPS), online at www.P3Tips.com or by using the “P3 Tips” app available through the Apple App or Google Play Store.

SUBJECT: Land Use Bylaw Amendment Bylaw 1023-19: Redesignate Pt. SW 29-50-7 W5M from Agricultural (AG) to Agricultural Holdings (AGH) DATE TO COUNCIL: July 16, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Kathleen Sterling, Senior Long Range Planner ENDORSED BY: J. Whaley, CAO REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO: 19A-002
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council give Second and Third Reading of Bylaw 1023-19 proposing Pt. SW 29-50-7 W5M [approx. 4.05 ha (10.0 acre)] be redesignated from Agricultural (AG) to Agricultural Holdings (AGH) as shown on the attached Schedule A.
1. TOPIC DEFINED
Executive Summary An application for subdivision has been received to subdivide an approximately 4.05 ha (10.0 acre) parcel from Pt. SW 29-50-7 W5M. The subdivided parcel would be the fourth lot within the quarter section. An Area Structure Plan (ASP) is not required at this time, but will be required for any future subdivisions. The application for subdivision cannot move forward for decision until the land is redistricted to accommodate the size and use of the proposed parcel. As such, the applicant would like to redistrict Pt. SW 29-50-7 W5M from Agricultural (AG) to Agricultural Holdings (AGH) as shown on the attached Schedule A of Bylaw 1023-19, to accommodate the proposed subdivision for residential and agricultural use.
The applicant and landowner have already begun the application process for the aforementioned subdivision.
During the June 18, 2019 Council meeting it was noted that a development permit had been submitted for the original east half of SW 29-50-7 W5M parcel. The development permit application is for a discretionary use and will be presented to the Municipal Planning Commission (MPC). This development permit application was originally scheduled to be presented to MPC on July 17, 2019. Administration has received a request from the applicant to postpone the development permit application until the August 6, 2019 MPC meeting.
56 The property is located west of Highway 22 and accessed by Township Road 504. The subject parcel is not located within an Intermunicipal Development Plan or an Area Structure Plan, therefore no other documents require amending.
The proposed Bylaw 1023-19 was circulated to referral agencies, internal departments and adjacent landowners. Comments received from referral agencies identified that they had no concerns or objections. Internal department responses came from Public Works identifying road widening and upgrades to one of the existing approaches would be required, which will be addressed at the subdivision stage. No adjacent landowner letters were received. A full list of comments is provided in Appendix E.
The subdivision application has been referred concurrently with this redesignating application and is scheduled to be heard by the Municipal Planning Commission on July 17, 2019.
Relevant Policy: Relevant Policy was provided in the June 18, 2019 Council report. The subject property does not fall within any Intermunicipal Development Plan or Area Structure Plan.
Strategic Relevance: If successful after Public Hearing, the subdivision application will be taken to the MPC for decision.
2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION That Council give Second and Third Reading of Bylaw 1023-19 proposing Pt. SW 29-50-7 W5M [approx. 4.05 ha (10.0 acres)] be redesignated from Agricultural (AG) to Agricultural Holdings (AGH) as shown on the attached Schedule A.
Advantages Disadvantages • The application will be able to move • None identified. forward within the process of re-districting for the purpose of subdividing the parcel. • Ensures that if the proposed subdivision is approved it will conform to the districts within the current Land Use Bylaw

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION
SUBJECT: Redistricting Second and Third Readings – Lot 3 Block 1 Plan 162 1978 and Pt NW 4-50-7-W5M from Agricultural to Agricultural Holdings DATE TO COUNCIL: July 16, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Suzanne Bennett, Senior Current Planner ENDORSED BY: J. Whaley, CAO REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO: 19A-003
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Bylaw 1024-19 to amend the districting of all of Lot 3 Block 1 Plan 162 1978 and Pt NW 4-50-7-W5M totaling a combined ± 4.6 ha (± 11.4 ac) from Agricultural District to Agricultural Holdings District be given Second and Third Readings.
1. TOPIC DEFINED
Executive Summary Administration received an application to redistrict and subdivide Lot 3 Block 1 Plan 162 1978 and Pt NW 4-50-7-W5M to increase the property size of the current Lot 3 Block 1 Plan 162 1978 parcel. Currently both parcels are zoned as Agricultural. To be consistent with the current Land Use Bylaw, the Lot 3 Block 1 Plan 162 1978 parcel as well as the portion of the remaining quarter section are to be redistricted to Agricultural Holdings. The property is adjacent to Highway 22, but accesses from Township Road 500A. The remainder has an access directly from Highway 22. The proposed parcel is not yet built upon, but is intended for residential and small agricultural uses. As no new lots are being created, the Quarter section will not be reaching the threshold where an Area Structure Plan is required. First Reading of the bylaw was given on June 6, 2019.
Relevant Policy: The subject lands are not within either an Area Structure Plan (ASP) or the Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP). The number of lots created per quarter section is not exceeding the Municipal Development Plan threshold of 4 lots per quarter section, after which an ASP is required.
67 Strategic Relevance: Allows for the proposed subdivision to be considered by the Municipal Planning Commission.
2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION That Bylaw 1024-19 to amend the districting of all of Lot 3 Block 1 Plan 162 1978 and Pt NW 4- 50-7-W5M totaling a combined ± 4.6 ha (± 11.4 ac) from Agricultural District to Agricultural Holdings District be given Second and Third Readings.
Advantages Disadvantages • If passed, the amendment will allow the • None Identified. potential approval of a subdivision which adheres to Brazeau County Plans and Regulations. • Ensures that the proposed subdivision, if approved, will conform to the districts set within the current Land Use Bylaw 1002-18.

Policy 2: Brazeau County supports the preservation of lands identified in this plan as Agriculture and Rural Development for agricultural, rural residential and rural resource use.
Policy 5: Brazeau County shall encourage the consolidation of properties previously subdivided for non-agricultural land uses for future agricultural development if the land can safely and effectively accommodate the proposed use.
Policy 6: Brazeau County shall discourage intrusive and/or incompatible land uses in predominately agricultural areas of the County in order to minimize potential land use conflicts.
Policy 10: Brazeau County shall consider the following criteria when evaluating land use and development applications that propose to subdivide lands within the Agriculture and Rural Development designation: • The quality of local soil conditions for agricultural production as determined by AGRASID, or an individual soil test conducted by a qualified professional that may have been completed on the subject lands; • The presence of significant impediments to the practical use of the subject land for agricultural production including, but not limited to, rocks, vegetation, topography and water bodies; • The capability of the land to support the proposed development including the identification and evaluation of onsite hazards or geotechnical conditions; • The potential impact of the proposed development on adjacent lands, municipal services and infrastructure, and the natural environment; • The compatibility of the proposed development with adjacent land uses and rural character of the surrounding area; • The potential constraints the proposed development may have on existing or planned commercial or industrial developments; • The location of existing or planned natural resource extraction facilities that may represent a safety concern; and • The availability and adequacy of water and sanitary servicing options to support the proposed development.
Policy 11: Brazeau County may consider the subdivision of a quarter section if the proposal seeks to create: • A farm site with existing improvements;
69 • A parcel for future agricultural development; or • A total of four parcels per quarter section, including parcels created from previous subdivisions.
Policy 12: Brazeau County may require that, with the exception of the remnant parcel, or parcels created for future agricultural development, all new parcels created on a quarter section for residential purposes shall be a minimum of one acre in area, and a maximum of four acres in area.

SUBJECT: Redistricting Pt. SE 35-50-8-W5M from Agricultural to Agricultural Holdings DATE TO COUNCIL: July 16, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Martine Martindale, Development Officer ENDORSED BY: Suzanne Bennett, Senior Current Planner REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO: 19A-004
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That First Reading of Bylaw 1027-19 to amend the districting of Pt. SE-35-50-8-W5M approximately ± 4.046 ha (± 10 ac) in area from Agricultural District to Agricultural Holdings District be rescinded.
1. TOPIC DEFINED
Executive Summary Administration received an application to redistrict and subdivide Pt. SE 35-50-8-W5M so as to create two parcels of approximately 5 acres each, for residential and agricultural use. The remainder was proposed to retain the existing lease road as an access, with a 15 metre frontage onto Range Road 81. First Reading was given to the redistricting bylaw on June 18 2019. However, the landowner has since withdrawn their application.
Relevant Policy: The subject lands are not within either an Area Structure Plan (ASP) or the Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP). The number of lots created per quarter section is not exceeding the Municipal Development Plan threshold of 4 lots per quarter section, after which an ASP is required.
Strategic Relevance: The application for redistricting and subdivision have both been withdrawn. Therefore the amendment should not progress any further.
81 2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION That First Reading of Bylaw 1027-19 to amend the districting of Pt. SE-35-50-8-W5M approximately ± 4.046 ha (± 10 ac) in area from Agricultural District to Agricultural Holdings District be rescinded.
Advantages Disadvantages • Closes the proposed amending • None Identified. bylaw, rather than leaving it pending at first reading until it expires.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DECISION
SUBJECT: Municipal Energy Efficiency Rebate Program (MEER) Request for Rebates on New Home Builds DATE TO COUNCIL: July 16, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Tamara London, Community Services Grants Administrator ENDORSED BY: REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO:
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council receive this report regarding the addition of new home builds to the Municipal Energy Efficiency rebate program for information.
1. TOPIC DEFINED
Executive Summary On May 6, 2019, Councillor Westerlund received a letter form a resident requesting that rebates on new home construction be included in the MEER program. The MEER program models Energy Efficiency Alberta (EEA). New homes are not included in the program because they represent an addition to energy requirements on the grid. Renovations represent an improvement or reduction on the energy requirements of the building. EEA rebates are based upon improvements to existing structures and not upon the products or efficiencies being installed during home construction. This is mentioned on EEA’s website under ‘Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)’ for the home improvement program: Why aren’t additions or new construction included? While we encourage builders and contractors to embrace best energy practices, this program is focused on energy reduction. Since new construction and new additions are new energy loads they represent an increase in energy demand and are therefore not included in this retrofit program designed to reduce energy consumption. Our communication to the public made clear that the MEER program will help residents receive great savings for qualifying home improvements. The addition to new home builds to the program would reduce the amount of funding available for improvements that reduce energy consumption, require changes to our marketing materials and communication to the public through various media channels.
Brazeau County ‐ Request for Council Decision – MEER Request for Rebates on New Home Builds Page 1 of 2 89 Relevant Policy: ADM‐18 Clean Energy & Climate Action Policy (CECAP)
Strategic Relevance: Brazeau County fosters innovation and supports the creation of clean energy generation.
2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION That Council receive this report regarding the addition of new home builds to the Municipal Energy Efficiency rebate program for information. Advantages Disadvantages ‐ MEER program would remain the ‐ Funding will continue to be made available to same and continue to effectively residents completing home improvements that reduce greenhouse gas emissions reduce energy consumption and energy consumption ‐ Residents that have constructed homes will not ‐ Residents that have constructed receive rebates on products or efficiencies homes can take advantage of the installed solar rebate
‐ Keeps program in line with Energy Efficiency Alberta and Brazeau County Policy ADM‐18

SUBJECT: Municipal Energy Efficiency Rebate Program (MEER) Water Softeners DATE TO COUNCIL: July 16, 2019 SUBMITTED BY: Tamara London, Community Services Grants Administrator ENDORSED BY: REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO:
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council include ‘Water Softeners’ as an eligible product with a rebate of $150.00 in the Municipal Energy Efficiency Rebate program.
1. TOPIC DEFINED
Executive Summary Brazeau County in general has hard water, minerals such as calcium and magnesium are responsible for scale buildup or mineral deposits. Scale from hard water can clog plumbing, damages water‐consuming appliances, wearing them down over time. Appliances become less and less effective until eventually they break down. A water softener removes the hardness of the water by removing calcium carbonate from the water. Installation of water softeners in residents homes would reduce the amount of gas or electricity required for appliances to function optimally, reduce the soap and detergent required, increase their efficiency and ensure they perform as designed by the manufacturer. Water softeners do not use much electricity, approximately the same as an alarm clock or about $10.00. Fully automatic metered electronic controls is recommended to control the regeneration cycles. The unit should regenerate only when required and not at a set time. It is recommended to set the water softener to have one regeneration event per week. Low salt consumption is a recommended consideration as well. For example, Rocky Rapids water has a hardness of 260 mg/l or 15.2 grains per gallon (gpg) with this value a 30, 0000 to 45,000 grain water softener is recommended depending on the household’s water consumption. Water softeners range from $739.99 to about $1,200.00. There are salt less water softeners, however they have very bad reviews and are extremely expensive ($1,999.99)

Strategic Relevance:
Council Goal # 3 Brazeau County is strategically assigning financial and physical resources to meeting ongoing service delivery to ensure the success of our great community.
2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION That Council include ‘Water Softeners’ as an eligible product with a rebate of $150.00 in the Municipal Energy Efficiency Rebate program. Advantages Disadvantages ‐ Residents will receive a rebate ‐ Adding a product to the MEER program will when purchasing a water softener impact the funds available in the rebate account ‐ Water softeners are a good addition to the MEER program as it will increase the efficiency of home appliances and save residents money over the long term
3. IMPLICATIONS OF RECOMMENDATION

PREPARED BY: Colin Swap, General Manager of Finance
UPDATE Brazeau County’s combined tax and assessment notices were mailed on INFORMATION: May 24, 2019 with a due date of June 30. The month of June was a busy one for front reception staff, processing tax payments and responding to questions and concerns. Brazeau County’s assessors held an open house at the County administration office on June 13 to answer any assessment-related questions. No taxpayers attended the open house. As of July 4, 2019 Brazeau County has collected $34,876,755.79 in taxes, approximately 96% of the budgeted amount. As per Bylaw 889-15 penalties on unpaid taxes of 1% per month are applied the first of each month, which began on July 1. At its meeting on April 24, 2019 Brazeau County Council directed Administration to implement a 30% commercial property tax rebate. To accommodate the rebate $319,492 was allocated in the budget. As of the June 30 tax deadline, $279,927 of the rebate has been utilized. Those eligible property owners who paid only a partial amount of their taxes, received a pro-rated rebate amount. Those eligible property owners who belong to the Tax Instalment Payment Plan receive their rebate pro-rated over the months of payment and another $10,593 of the rebate will be applied throughout the course of the year. As per Council’s direction, Brazeau County has been accepting credit card payments (as per FIN-17) since January 1, 2019. The payment option was popular with property owners this year as staff saw many walk in customers taking advantage of being able to pay their taxes via credit card. Many property owners also continue to take advantage of online payment through their banks, submitting payment by mail, or coming in to the office to pay with cash, cheque or debit.

Whaley, CAO REVIEWED BY CAO: J. Whaley, CAO FILE NO: 19A-005
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS: That Council give First Reading of Bylaw 1028-19 proposing Lot 1 Block 1 Plan 042 5336 within NE 19-49- 06 W5M [approximately +5.94 ha (+14.68 acre)] be redesignated from Agricultural Holdings (AGH) to Agricultural (AG) as shown on the attached Schedule A, and that the Public Hearing for Bylaw 1028-19 be scheduled for 10:00 am on August 20, 2019.
1. TOPIC DEFINED
Executive Summary Administration has received an application to consolidate Lot 1 Block 1 Plan 042 5336 within NE 19-49-06 W5M with the remainder of the NE 19-49-06 W5M parcel. This consolidation is part of a proposed subdivision and consolidation application to allow for a new subdivision in the northwest corner of NE 19-49-06 W5M. The subdivided parcel will not require redesignating as it is currently Agricultural (AG) and will remain Agricultural (AG) if the subdivision is approved, as it will be approximately + 6.4 ha (+ 15.8 ac). This would maintain two (2) parcels within the quarter section.
The application for subdivision and consolidation cannot move forward for decision until the land is redistricted to accommodate the size and use of the proposed parcel. As such, the applicant would like to redistrict Lot 1 Block 1 Plan 042 5336 within NE 19-49-06 W5M from Agricultural Holdings (AGH) to Agricultural (AG) as show on the attached Schedule A of Bylaw 1028-19, to accommodate a proposed consolidation for residential and agricultural use.
The applicant and landowner have already begun the application process for the aforementioned subdivision and consolidation.
The quarter section is adjacent to the North Saskatchewan River and is located south of Township Road 494 and west of Range Road 65. The property being redistricted has access from Range
101 Road 65. The subject parcel is not located within an Intermunicipal Development Plan or an Area Structure Plan, therefore no other documents require amending.
Relevant Policy: The subject parcel is not located within either an Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) or an Area Structure Plan (ASP). The total number of lots within the quarter section will not exceed four (4) lots, so an ASP is not required for this subdivision as outlined in the Municipal Development Plan. The relevant policy including the Land Use Bylaw Agricultural District regulations are provided in Appendix A.
Strategic Relevance: N/A
2. ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDED ACTION That Council give First Reading of Bylaw 1028-19 proposing Lot 1 Block 1 Plan 042 5336 within NE 19-49-06 W5M [approximately +5.94 ha (+14.68 acre)] be redesignated from Agricultural Holdings (AGH) to Agricultural (AG) as shown on the attached Schedule A, and that the Public Hearing for Bylaw 1028-19 be scheduled for 10:00 am on August 20, 2019.
Advantages Disadvantages • The application will be able to move • None identified. forward within the process of re-districting for the purpose of consolidating the parcel. • Allows the proposed amendment to be presented within a Public Hearing. • Ensures that if the proposed consolidation is approved it will conform to the districts within the current Land Use Bylaw

Dear Ms. Wheale:
Thank you for your May 15, 2019 letter regarding Alberta Class 1 driver's licence requirements. I am pleased to respond.
If an agricultural operation or a farm worker wishes to apply for an agricultural extension to the Mandatory Entry-Level Training (MELT) program requirements, please review information on training extension for farmers online at: https://www.alberta.ca/mandatorv-entrv-level-traininq-for-class-1-and-2-drivers- licences.aspx. To support a successful 2019 farming season. Alberta farmers and farm workers have until November 30, 2019 to apply for an extension.
The Government of Saskatchewan has consulted Saskatchewan farmers on the impact of mandatory commercial training. Saskatchewan farmers supported the repealing of the "F" endorsement and the 100-kilometre radius limit, citing safety risks. As a result, the "F" endorsement will be repealed by March 2021. All Saskatchewan Class 1 drivers, including farmers and farm workers, will require mandatory entry-level training.

Dear Reeve:
Re: iVIeeting Request
1 hope all is well.
After discussions with many of our peers from Northern Alberta, 1 think it would be beneficial for us to have_a meeting together to discuss what we believe the roles of our rural MLA's should be regarding the municipal issues we face.
It has been a long time since we have had a strong united rural caucus and 1 think that we need to act quickly and together to drive forward our issues from Infrastructure to Health care and the social needs of rural Alberta.
You can tell by the Minister's appointed that there is a strong urban representation out there and we need to remind the Premier and his Minister's that without the solid blue in rural Alberta the sitting arrangements at the legislature would be quite different.
Rural Albertan's many times have the joy of being first; first to pay, first to be cut; first to be ignored, when the big cities are at the trough.
In no way do 1 mean to circumvent RMA in a harmful matter however we should run in parallel with them as 1 believe we need to strategize together and take forward to rural caucus the direction that rural Alberta needs to take.
With that note 1 am proposing a meeting inviting all rural Counties and M.D.'s with a maximum of two (2) attendees per municipality to get a strategy together and get ready for a fall meeting with rural caucus. 1 propose two meetings; one hosted by our Southern municipalities in southern Alberta, the second hosted by Northern Alberta. Northern Alberta would comprise of any municipality north of Red Deer but including Red Deer. 1 would suggest a late August or early September meeting.
And someplace central depending on response. 1 am totally open to suggestions.
We need to help our MLA's understand what our position is and to make sure they drive it forward.

June 21,2019 Daniel.Edgcumbe@albeitahealthservices. ca [email protected] [email protected] Dear Doctors Edgecombe and Deplnaar and Ms. Young,
RE: Physician collaboration and coverage for the Village of Breton
Thank you for the meeting with the Breton Clinic Committee to discuss concerns surrounding the Impending closure ofthe Breton Clinic, it was a pleasure to see the willingness to collaborate concerning the primary care of our area. Since the meeting with yourselves on June ll'^ the Clinic Committee has met with Dr. Michael Peyton from the Malone Clinic. Two major concerns have been identified and presented to the three Councils. The first concern is the imminent need to keep the Breton Clinic open,the second is the difficulty in recruiting of physicians for the Malone clinic.
Our committee is solution based and offers the following first step moving forward.
Solution 1.} The Malone Clinic has offered to provide services at the Breton Clinic starting in August for two half days per week. The expectation for this is that the current arrangements with AHS for the Breton Clinic will be the same for Physicians from the Malone Clinic as the two outgoing doctors servicing the Breton Clinic. The intention Is to work towards two full days per week provided they can recruit two more physicians.
The committee, the community and the wider region are all agreed that the closure of the Breton Clinic will cause a deficiency of service levels across the region, creating an inability for some to even reach basic health care and for others, a clogging of the system due to back logging in appointments and availability.
Sincerely,

Dear MLA Smith; Reeve Bart Guyon; Mayor Michael Doerksen, and Mayor Ivan Bohning:
Thank you for your June 21 letter offering a proposed solution to the closure of the Breton Medical Clinic. Your collaborative response to the concerns raised recently in Breton is appreciated, and serves as an example of how we envision working with our municipal partners and elected officials across the Zone when there are opportunities to address questions or concerns.
The timing of your letter is impeccable as we just recently became aware of Dr. Peyton and Dr. Beacom's interest in operating the clinic two half days a week. We have begun working with them towards their anticipated opening of the clinic in early August, 2019.
We are very grateful for their support of a medical clinic in the Village of Breton and are working with them to provide these services. As the opening details are confirmed, we are committed to keeping yourselves and the community informed.
While there has been steady growth in the number of physicians practicing in Alberta, we recognize that gaining access to a physician continues to be a challenge in many rural and remote areas. We know other communities in Brazeau County are experiencing the same challenge as Breton. To help address these challenges, we are in the process of developing an opportunity to engage with the Rural Health Professions Action Plan (RhPAP), the Pembina Physician Recruitment and Retention Committee (PPRRC) and stakeholders from across Brazeau County to look at how we can collaboratively, and proactively, find a sustainable solution for long-term physician retention throughout the region.

Although AHS has no jurisdiction over where physicians chose to locate their private practice, we also recognize the role we can play in supporting and collaborating with our partners and communities to bring new physicians to the community. We invite you to join us and be a part of this discussion as we view you as key stakeholders.
We hope to be able to plan this for late summer and will provide your offices with more information once it is available.
