Highlights of Mr. Hart's presentation include: - Water Conservation Objectives (WCO) were established in 2007; - These objectives relate to the volume and quality of water to remain in rivers for the protection of a natural water body and its aquatic environment; - Approved Water Management Plan for the South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB) by Cabinet in 2006 include restricted use of unallocated water in Oldman, Bow, Red Deer River and SSR sub-basins; - There are concerns for meeting water demands;

3 - The WCO document charts flow targets under the priority water allocation system and will apply to all new licences and existing licences; - The Red Deer River sub-basin WCOs is: "From the Dickson Dam to the confluence with the Blindman River, the weo for any applications received or licences issued after May 1, 2005 and for existing licences with a retrofit provision is: A rate of flow that is 45% of the natural rate off/ow, or 16 cms (cubic metres persecond), whichever is greater at any point in time." - WCO Enforcement Issues - Deficits (means not sufficient water in river to meet demands) occur frequently in winter months. Regional municipal projects are included in the calculations for deficits. Ifminimum flow is enforced, may not be able to draw water from the river. The issue with enforcement is that Alberta Environment cannot publish flows timely because the flows are highly variable with ice coverage - Alberta Environment cannot enforce WCOs in winter months. Another issue is that flows are recorded flows not natural flows. Mr. Hart provided an overview ofwhere individuals can access the flow charts / water levels on the Alberta Environment website. He stated that until Alberta Environment can get flows properly published they cannot enforce WCOs.
Summary of Issues - WCO's are not enforceable; they may become so in the future; - Storage will help to secure water for municipal use; - Change operations at the Dickson Dam or develop more storage; and - Environment should review Water Quality Study (1975) to determine if 16 cms is reasonable.
Discussion held on municipalities requirement for storage - expensive to buy the land - is it better than regional storage where the water is released back to the stream to supplement flow? Storage could be done at Buffalo and Sylvan Lakes. Offstream storage is difficult to get back without pumping.

Urgent Care Centre for Sylvan Lake and Area
The Urgent Care committee would like to thank all the supporters who left their warm homes to brave -35C and icy roads to attend the January 18th Town Hall meeting. We estimated approximately 550 people in attendance giving us overwhelming support and enthusiasm to move this initiative forward.
~ Since that meeting we have produced another 1000 'I Need Urgent Care' buttons. They can be picked up at the town office or the Doctor's offices in Sylvan Lake.
~ We have ordered 100 'Support Urgent Care' yard signs which will be available at the town office at the cost recovery price of $10.00 each. We hope to have all the signs up before the local candidates come door knocking in the upcoming provincial election.
~ The Executive Committee met with members of the David Thompson Health Region Advisory Board who were on a Central Alberta tour to determine the gaps in health care. A strong presentation was made on the importance of an Urgent Care Centre for Sylvan Lake and area.
~ The Committee is working with Central Alberta Health Services on a business plan for urgent care in Sylvan Lake which will be entered into the Zone Integrated Plan for future funding. The plan has to be done by September to get consideration for next year. Our partners in Urgent Care, the Town of Bentley, Town of Eckville, Red Deer County, Lacombe County and the five Summer Villages are all submitting statistical information to Alberta Health Services to become part of this plan.
~ On February 21, the Executive Committee met with Health Minister Horne, MLA Luke Ouellette and Alberta Health Services, Central Zone, VP, Kerry Bales to discuss Urgent Care in Sylvan Lake. Minister Horne expressed his support of an Urgent Care Centre and further directed Alberta Health Services to work quickly and effectively with our committee to seek short and long term solutions. We were very pleased that our MLA was able to arrange this face to face meeting with positive results as the Health Minister has a challenging portfolio that puts a heavy demand on his time.
Please see reverse . What you can do....
We need your assistance to show the strong need and desire for urgent care in Sylvan Lake. We need to keep this issue to the forefront in the media and it is important to remember to write letters to our decision makers requesting an Urgent Care Centre for Sylvan Lake and Area. There are many competing health care needs in our province and your support will help our need get the attention and support it deserves. Letters should be addressed to the Premier, Minister of Health, MLA and Alberta Health Services. (Please see contact information below.)
In the last few months we have made great strides in moving this initiative forward but we need to remember that the local Doctors have been lobbying Alberta Health Services for the past 20 years without progress. They cannot do this alone. Urgent Care for Sylvan Lake and Area needs a voice during the upcoming provincial election. Background information regarding Urgent Care can be found on the town's website www.sylvanlake.ca

In addition, a large poster was created to thank all ofour sponsors and it was prominently displayed in the curling club throughout the bonspiel. Our Event Sponsors will have their company name displayed on a poster along with the team pictures ofthe event winners. This poster will remain on display in the curling club until our bonspiel in 2013. A list ofsponsors was prominently placed on each table in the lounge area ofthe curling club during the week ofthe bonspiel. The company names were mentioned to all ofthe curlers during the presentation ofprizes at our banquet. Curlers were asked to thank all ofour sponsors when they did business with them over the coming year. Hopefully you will hear from them frequently. Finally, a notice was placed in the Sylvan Lake News in which all sponsors were named.
We would like to thank you again, Marilee, for your support. It enabled us to give prizes to all ofthe curlers and to keep our team costs at a level comparable with the other bonspiels in Central Alberta.
We look forward to your continued support for future bonspiels.

Stewardship Showcase
A growing concern Every year, pressure on recreational lakes grows due to increasing number of users and sophistication of recreational equipment. A key concern throughout the province is abandoned ice fishing huts on the lake which contribute to water pollution, boating and swimming hazards, and shoreline waste debris when the ice melts in the spring.
For the people living around Sylvan Lake, the problem of abandoned huts has become all too clear. Looking out over the lake two weeks after the ice fishing season closed in April 2011, 25 abandoned huts remained, destined to sink into the lake. The task of removing these huts often falls to self appointed volunteers, but the community saw a need to address the problem in a more meaningful and sustainable way. And so, the Take it Off project was born.
Community leaders come together Take it Off was developed by the Sylvan Lake Management Committee (SLMC), a partnership between Red Deer County, Lacombe County, Town of Sylvan Lake, and the five summer villages surrounding Sylvan Lake. SLMC is an excellent example of how diverse municipalities can come together to successfully address their shared stewardship concerns.
Take it Off is a thoughtfully designed, multi-pronged approach that deals with the issue through community engagement, education, and prevention. Although the ultimate goal of this project is for all users of the lake to voluntarily take ownership of its stewardship, SLMC recognizes that at times there is also a need to bolster these efforts through the use of mitigation and legislation.
How it works The Take it Off project is comprised of the following components:
1. Education: A full color information card entitled "Take it Off, Respect Sylvan Lake" was delivered in person to each hut on the lake, allowing SLMC, RCMP, and Alberta Environment and Water (AEW) staff to have face-to-face conversations with fishermen. The card outlined the importance of debris removal at the end of the season, and highlighted the availability of the Alberta Environment and Water hotline.
2. Voluntary Ice Hut Registration: While delivering the information cards, partners also encouraged fishermen to register their huts voluntarily as a part of a process developed jointly with the RCMP. Nearly all fishermen understood the initiative and happily agreed to register their huts. As one sportsman said, "We want to fish here every year, not just this season", RCMP are now able to contact owners if an ice hut is vandalized while unattended or if the ice hut remains on the lake at the close of the season.
3. Removal: A removal committee has been formed consisting of RCMP, AEW, SRD, Town of Sylvan Lake and the County of Lacombe. Ice huts left on Sylvan Lake after April 8th 2012 will be removed under the authority of the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act. Success for this committee would be to have no huts left to be removed.
4. Resolution: The Town of Sylvan Lake is putting forward a resolution to the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association to ask the Provincial Government to bring in legislation to require mandatory registration of ice fishing huts. The town is also working with Lacombe County to bring forward a similar resolution through the Alberta Association of Municipal Districts and Counties (AAMDC).
