Works department did examine the 

issue in question and discovered the 

thrift store building has no eavestrough 

on the roof to channel runoff; 

rather than being channelled to the 

alley where it causes fewer problems, 

the runoff is instead ending up on the 

sidewalk. 

Fuller stated the town can’t spend 

tax dollars to place eavestrough on a 

privately-owned building.

Strategic Objectives 

Tax penalties for oil and gas company 

and wise use of our resources. 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism Initiative reporter 

ECA Review 

Kneehill County council agreed to 

let a Calgary-based oil and gas company 

to pay off its years-long debt and 

also waived almost $100,000 in unpaid 

property tax penalties for the firm. 

The decisions were made at the 

March 22 regular meeting of council. 

Tax Clerk Caroline Siverson presented 

the results of a years-long effort 

to get currently operating Long Run 

Exploration Ltd. to pay its outstanding 

property tax debt. 

“We began our discussions with 

Long Run after a long time of no 

returned calls or emails, and after our 

legal firm had forwarded them a 

demand letter in late 2021,” stated 

Siverson’s memo to council. 

“At this time, Long Run has agreed 

to pay their outstanding taxes and 

depending upon the decision of 

council, within this next 12 months.” 

Siverson noted during debate that 

this was the last large unpaid property 

tax file the county had to deal with. 

Siverson noted Long Run 

Exploration submitted two options to 

council: option #1 was 12 equal payments 

totalling the amount of 

$336,307.56 (including 2019 and 2020 

penalties); 2021 and 2022 penalties 

waived while option #2 was a lump 

sum payment of all levies in the 

amount of $299,350.25, all penalties 

waived, to be received 10 days after the 

agreement is signed. 

“For the last few years, council has 

agreed to several payment plans with 

our industrial partners to support 

their cash flow issues during the economic 

downturn, COVID pandemic 

and low gas prices,” stated the memo.

The company is focused on safely and

only spent about $200 in this case. 

Reeve Jerry Wittstock noted, after 

recently attending the Rural

meeting, it seems the provincial government 

may do something about oil 

and gas companies declining to pay 

their property tax bills. 

“They’re going to stop pussyfooting

STETTLER COUNTY COUNCIL 

Council permits non-conforming house 

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism 

Initiative reporter 


The County of Stettler 

Municipal Planning 

Commission (MPC) granted a 

certificate to allow a non-conforming 

house to remain 

“as-is,” but also intends to host 

real estate agents to discuss the 

problems such structures cause 

taxpayers. 

The decisions were made at 

the March 22 regular MPC 

meeting. 

The MPC is chaired by Coun. 

James Nibourg with the commission 

consisting of Stettler 

county council. 

The MPC was considering the 

variance request of property 

owner Roxanne Wooden 

regarding her residence located 

at Lot 54 Block 2 Plan 052242 

which is located near Buffalo 

Lake which documents stated 

sits on a 0.16 acre parcel. 

Development Officer Rich 

Fitzgerald presented the application, 

noting the residence in

question was actually developed 

as a garage. 

“This property was purchased 

by the applicant in 2021,” 

stated Fitzgerald’s memo to 

council. 

“At that time, it was marketed 

as having a detached dwelling 

on the subject property. Shortly 

after purchasing the property, 

the applicant contacted planning 

staff to discuss issues with 

what they believed to be the 

approach, located at the rear of 

the property. 

“It was also discovered that

Stu Salkeld 

Local Journalism 

Initiative reporter 


Stettler County’s 

Municipal Planning 

Commission (MPC) 

approved a Buffalo Lake 

area garage if a geotechnical 

report is completed on a 

slope. 

The decision was made at 

the March 22 MPC meeting. 

The MPC is chaired by 

Coun. James Nibourg and is 

comprised of members of 

county council. 

Development Officer 

Jacinta Donovan presented 

an application for a variance 

to allow for the construction 

of a garage estimated in 

value at $50,000 located at 35 

MacDonald Dr. in Scenic 

Sands, a community located 

at Buffalo Lake. 

Parcel owners were listed 

as Jean Marie and Madalyn 

Vachon and the applicant 

was listed as Barry Green, 

who was present at the 

meeting to answer 

 

RCMP 

questions. 

Donovan explained in her 

report that Green was 

applying for a variance that 

would allow an 824 square 

foot ancillary building, or 

garage, to be built on the 

parcel in question; the variance 

would drop the front 

yard setback from 25 feet to 

10 feet. 

“The proposed location of 

the ancillary building is at 

the toe of a slope with a 

grade which appears to 

exceed 15 per cent,” stated 

Donovan’s report to board 

members. 

Nibourg, when examining 

maps of the parcel, noted 

another ancillary building 

present and asked if the 

number of structures was 

an issue, to which Donovan 

answered the county regulates 

the number of 

structures on a parcel but in 

this case it was below the 

threshold. 

Coun. Justin Stevens 

noted an overhead power 

line and wanted to know if 

there was a problem with

the proposed garage being close to it. 

Green stated that the power line will 

be altered if the garage is approved: it 

will be an overhead line to the garage, 

then underground to the residence. 

After discussion staff noted the 

power line in question is private, so it 

doesn’t affect the application. 

Board members spent a considerable 

amount of time discussing the 

proposed garage’s overhang, with 

Stevens noting he didn’t have a 

problem with the overhang as long as 

it’s entirely on the owner’s property. 

Nibourg stated the county has had 

instances where overhangs were built 

too close to a neighbour and that 

neighbour then complained, resulting 

in the builder being forced to fix the 

problem with “substantial” expense. 

After discussion councillors noted 

Green was proposing a setback along 

the side of the garage greater than the 

minimum required which addressed 

their concerns. 

Board members also discussed the 

considerable nearby slope. 

When asked if stability was an issue. 

Donovan responded the grade at the 

toe of the slope was 17.5 per cent and 

county bylaws require a slope stability 

report in such cases; she also added 

the slope isn’t on the side facing the 

lake. 

Green stated he was aware of the 

$2,500 report but didn’t get one done 

because he wanted to see what the 

MPC decided first. 

Board members unanimously 

approved Green’s application as presented 

with the requirement that the 

slope stability report must be completed 

before the development permit 

is issued.

there was no permit for the 

existing structure to be the 

principle building used as a 

dwelling. There is a permit 

from 2014, for an RV to be 

the principle structure, and 

the existing structure was 

approved to be an ancillary 

building (garage) with an 

overhead loft.” 

Fitzgerald noted the 

building in question met setback 

requirements for a 

garage, but not as a residence, 

primarily as it was 

too close to the front of the 

lot. 

He added in addition to 

purchasing the property the 

owner has invested a considerable 

sum in upgrading 

utilities, hence the request 

that the MPC grant a variance 

allowing the 

non-conforming residence. 

Staff noted in their report 

council had three options: 

turn down the request, 

allow the variance request 

or issue a certificate of noncompliance. 

Fitzgerald 

explained the certificate 

would allow the residence to 

remain “as-is.” 

Reeve Larry Clarke stated 

he sympathized with 

Wooden but wanted to know 

what the county’s liability 

would be in the event of a 

fire, for example.

property if she sold it. 

Fitzgerald stated the certificate 

would transfer with the 

property as would all the 

conditions. 

Board members passed by 

a 6 to 1 vote a motion to issue 

the certificate of non-compliance 

for the property in 

question, Coun. Dave Grover 

the lone dissenter. 

Coun. Justin Stevens further 

wondered that, as the 

owner seemed to have done 

her due diligence and 

brought the property 

through a professional real 

estate agent, was there no 

boundary of due diligence 

that real estate agents must 

meet to ensure the property 

they’re marketing is fully 

conforming. 

Stevens noted real estate 

agents belong to a professional 

association and 

wondered how such agents 

ensure the accuracy of the 

properties they’re 

marketing. 

Stevens suggested inviting 

realtors to attend a meeting 

to discuss this issue. 

Clarke agreed, and made 

a motion that staff invite 

realtors to a future council 

meeting for that purpose.

CORONATION COUNCIL 

Contractor offers walk through on former work 

Terri Huxley 


Eddie Shepple of Specter 

Systems visited Coronation 

town council chambers on Mon. 

March 28 to speak to some 

former paving projects done 

within Coronation. 

Shepple and crew came to 

Coronation four years ago on 

various paving jobs within the 

town including spaces such as 

in front of the public works 

shop.. 

Shepple shared his side of the 

story with council and administration 

and felt that he wanted 

to ensure his work was up to 

standard and offer to fix anything 

that needed to be redone 

as his reputation in this line of 

work depends on it. 

He noted he has reference letters 

from other municipalities 

in the east central region such 

as Hardisty, Chauvin, Provost 

and Czar but not one from 

Coronation which he wanted to 

change. 

Some sections the company 

used a type of asphalt that isn’t 

aesthetically pleasing but is 

strong in its makeup which 

could have fed into the problem. 

“If I can’t get you to sign off 

on a reference letter for me I 

wasted my time. Our reputation 

is everything,” he said. “I can’t 

afford it.” 

The contractor offered to 

come down and walk with members 

of council, administration 

and public works this spring on 

these projects to see about any 

changes that could be made if 

needed. 

Council agreed they would 

set up a time with Shepple to do 

so. 

Council accepted his presentation 

as information. 

Funding requests 

A number of funding requests 

came in from various community 

organizations for council to 

consider. 

The first came from the 

Coronation and District Seniors 

Housing Society asking for a 

temporary loan of approximately 

$14,000 in legal fees as 

the Guaranteed Investment 

Certificates (GIC) provided by 

the government do not come in 

until July. 

The legal fees are attributed 

to lawyer’s looking over and 

ensuring the society’s bylaws, 

goals and policies are in 

compliance. 

Council agreed to loan them 

the funding, expecting it to be 

returned within the calendar 

year. 

The second request came 

from Paintearth Economic 

Partnership Society (PEPS) as 

they asked for permission to 

spend $14,000 for Project One 

and Project Two of the Regional 

Connectivity Strategy as all 

member municipalities must 

sign off before any money over 

$10,000 can be spent as per their 

bylaw. 

The first project requires 

$14,000 on hiring experts to help 

establish the best possible solution 

to this quite complex and 

detailed issue while the second 

would allow PEPS to develop a 

local investment co-op to help 

local and regional businesses to 

create perspective local jobs, 

invigorating communities and 

creating stronger healthier 

local economies. 

This project is projected to be 

approximately $50,000. 

Council agreed to support 

both projects as long as the 

funding comes out of PEPS’ 

reserves. 

Lastly, two local C3s Coyote 

hockey teams approached 

administration requesting 

funding to support them as they 

play off at provincials. 

Trochu receives 

federal support to 

revitalize main street 

Submitted 

The Town of Trochu is excited to 

announce an upcoming project to revitalize 

Trochu’s Main Street, made 

possible thanks in part to a federal 

investment of $372,450 through the 

Canada Community Revitalization 

Fund. 

The project will upgrade foundational 

aspects of Main Street, 

including new asphalt, as well as new 

decorative light standards, benches, 

bike racks and new curbs. 

Main Street is home to many of 

Trochu’s businesses and attractions 

and this project is expected to help 

create more opportunities for residents 

and visitors to enjoy all that Main 

Street has to offer. 

The Canada Community 

Revitalization Fund is a two-year, $500 

million national infrastructure program 

to revitalize communities across 

Canada. 

The Town of Trochu is fortunate to 

have been chosen as one of these communities 

and could not be better 

prepared to make the most of this 

amazing opportunity. 

Trochu is poised for growth and continued 

vibrancy. 

Trochu council and staff are 

extremely appreciative of the support 

from all levels of government as the 

town moves forward with a vision of a 

bright future. 

“Trochu is extremely excited to be 

able to revitalize Main Street,” said 

Mayor Barry Kletke. 

“Trochu council have heard from 

residents and business owners that 

improving the condition of Main Street 

is a high priority and we are so pleased 

to receive support from the federal government 

to see this need met.” 

“Main streets and downtowns across 

Alberta bring people together and support 

countless small businesses,” said 

Randy Boissonnault, Minister of 

Tourism. 

“Today’s investment will help the 

Town of Trochu to recover from the 

pandemic by creating more jobs and 

opportunities for residents and visitors 

to benefit from the local businesses 

and attractions that are at the heart of 

this community.” 

Administration noted the 

local team doesn’t often reach 

this level of play. 

Council requested administration 

create a policy so these 

types of requests don’t need to 

go through council approval all 

the time but administration recommended 

the opposite as a 

policy could set precedent for all 

sports where an overwhelming 

amount of requests could come 

in, signalling a change in budgetary 

measures. 

Council agreed they would 

give $300 to the U15 and U18 

teams for their provincial success 

and discuss the creation of 

a policy at another meeting. 

Education property tax 

update 

As an informational item, 

council became apprised of the 

decision on education property 

tax. 

An email form the provincial 

government came in explaining 

the 2022 mill rates and requisitioned 

amounts were not yet be 

finalized by March 15. 

In accordance with Section 

162(4) of the Education Act, if a 

municipality has not received 

the requisition by this date, the 

requisition will be based on the 

prior year amounts. 

As such the March 2022 

invoices are based on the 2021 

requisitions. 

The provincial equalized 

assessment base used to determine 

education property taxes 

this year reflects 2020 property 

values. 

In 2022, municipalities will be 

billed at a rate of $2.65 per $1,000 

of their total residential/farmland 

equalized assessment 

value. 

The nonresidential 

rate will be 

set at $3.90 

per $1,000 

of equalized assessment 

value. Individual properties 

are taxed based on the local 

education property tax rate 

set by the municipality.

OPINION 

The opinions expressed are not necessarily 

the opinions of this newspaper. 

 

GUEST EDITORIAL 

Lawsuit on 

conspiracy to rig 

online ad auctions 

Lisa Sygutek, publisher, 

Crowsnest Pass Herald 

I have been in the industry for 22 

years. When I started at the Pass 

Herald we were a large paper with 

seven employees. We had a 

Compugraphic computer and handpasted 

photo film type paper onto a 

page. Today I create the paper on a 

computer, PDF the pages and drop the 

finished paper into the Lethbridge 

Herald Dropbox for printing. 

I can’t help but fondly remember 

those days, when the paper was full of 

ads, we were all doing our job to sell 

ads, lay out the papers, distribute and 

do the accounting. We had a lot of 

people in the office and boy it was fun. 

Today there is just three of us and contract 

workers. I can’t afford to hire 

anyone else. We work bare bones to 

keep this paper alive and often I’m 

embarrassed to think of how little I 

make as a wage. 

Why are things so difficult for traditional 

media? 

Facebook and Google have changed 

the distribution of advertising dollars 

in this country, and really the world, 

and believe me it’s not in favour of traditional 

media like the Pass Herald. I 

truly believe there are antitrust issues 

at play here. More than 50 per cent of 

total ad dollars are spent on digital 

advertising, and two companies control 

that marketplace. 

This lawsuit will shine a light on 

that. Perhaps the federal government 

should ask the Competition Bureau 

Canada to investigate. 

As a small community newspaper 

owner, I became concerned that not 

enough was being done to help the 40+ 

independent publishers in Alberta, 

never mind the 400+ across Canada. 

Current efforts by News Media Canada 

lobbying the federal government to 

compel Google and Facebook to pay 

licensing fees to news content providers 

seem focused upon the bigger 

players. Players such as the Toronto 

Star, the Globe and Mail, and 

Postmedia. 

Should this legislation regarding 

licensing fees come true, my guess is 

NONE of that money will ever trickle 

down to weekly independent papers, 

and like always, we will lose out to the 

chains, fighting over the profits at the 

expense of the little guys. Nobody 

seemed to be looking after the interests 

of independent newspapers in this 

country; papers that actually live in 

communities, covering soccer games, 

council meetings and keeping the history 

of towns. As the plaintiff in the 

lawsuit, it is the independent 

newspapers that your Pass Herald is 

giving a voice to. 

I’m interested in sustaining the community 

newspaper industry. It’s not 

about the money, it’s about keeping 

local news in our communities and 

giving us independents a voice. 

This lawsuit could be a real gamechanger. 

It has the potential to stem 

the tide of “news deserts” (communities 

that have lost their local papers) 

and keep local news in small centers 

across Alberta. We are seeing hundred 

year-old newspapers shutting down all 

over the country. 

I will fight tooth and nail to protect 

independent newspapers. Now it’s time 

for the 400 of us in Canada to step up to 

the plate and fight for our rights. As 

the plaintiff in the class action, the 

Pass Herald is the vehicle for this 

movement 

Our little weekly may have started 

the process but it’s up to each and 

every newspaper in this country to 

create the movement. We have been 

used to taking scraps from Google and 

Facebook and thinking that’s the best 

we can do. I’m here to tell you to 

remember what and who you are. 

Newspapers are the history of this 

great country; we are the written and 

photographic diary of our communities. 

We are not the industry that takes 

scraps from anyone. We are the power 

of the press and the check and balance 

against tyranny. We are the people 

who write the facts and let the reader 

come up with their conclusion. 

Yet when you are struggling to survive 

on handouts can you really do 

your job as owners and publishers the 

way it’s been throughout history? 

I’m doing everything I can to help 

them but now our entire industry must 

come together to fight for what is right. 

Sotos Class Actions of Toronto issued 

a statement of claim against Google and 

Facebook March 16th on behalf of the 

Pass Herald, a community newspaper 

that serves the Crowsnest Pass area of 

southwest Alberta. The class action 

claims damages of one billion dollars 

against the two tech companies, alleging 

that Google and Facebook entered into 

an agreement that allowed them to benefit 

financially at the expense of other 

digital publishers. 

The statement of claim alleges the 

two companies engaged in a conspiracy 

to rig online ad auctions, allocate markets, 

and fix and maintain prices in the 

market for display advertising, contrary 

to the Competition Act. It further 

alleges that publishers and advertisers 

suffered significant damages as a result. 

 

MAIL BAG 

Sovereignty is crucial 

Dear Editor, 

The Federal Government led by 

“acting prime minister” Singh and 

supported by “co-“Prime Minister 

Trudeau recently unveiled Canada’s 

emissions targets for 2030. 

In my opinion, neither of them are 

capable of running anything, but they 

have ideologues, Environment 

Minister Guilbeault and Natural 

Resources Minister Wilkinson who 

are fully capable of ruining Canada’s 

and particularly Alberta’s economy by 

2030 even if there is no hope of meeting 

the targets. 

All four hate the oil and gas industry 

and do not care if shutting it down does 

not help lower the world’s emissions, in 

fact will raise them. It will do this by 

shutting down the most ethical and 

environmentally responsible oil and 

gas sector on the planet. 

This means that nations that need 

oil and gas–and they will–will purchase 

them from places like Russia, 

Venezuela and the Middle East, places 

that invade other countries, starve 

their own people and sponsor 

terrorists. 

Both the USA and Canada have governments 

that appear determined to 

destroy their countries by inflation, 

illegal immigration (USA) and the 

Green New Deal. 

Both export coal to China which 

uses it and their own to produce products 

including solar panels which are 

exported to Canada and the USA 

where solar farms are built with the 

intention of eliminating oil and gas 

production. 

The result – China gets richer and 

we get poorer because the unreliability 

of wind and solar means we 

need a backup system of generation 

which means that combined with the 

carbon tax and living in a vast cold 

country, we are pricing ourselves out 

of the market. 

Our leaders and many of their followers 

believe we can subsidize or 

grant ourselves out of reality. 

Currently in Canada you can get a 

$4,000 grant to buy an electric car, the 

USA is proposing a $12,500 tax credit. 

This for a vehicle that pays no road 

tax. 

I don’t believe that solar and wind 

farms pay royalties, as do oil and gas. 

Solar and wind do not have byproducts 

like oil and gas which are used in 

almost everything including the manufacturing 

of electric vehicles. 

Those who believe that our present 

society can exist without all the products 

that are made with oil, gas and 

animal byproducts need to educate 

themselves. They also need to realize 

that it will cost billions to build the 

generation capacity and the electrical 

grid to support electric vehicles. 

The day may come when electric 

vehicles make sense in Canada on a 

large scale but it is not now and will 

not be in 2030. 

We, in Canada should be producing 

and selling as much oil and gas products 

as possible. We would be reducing 

others dependence on Russian petroleum 

and lowering emissions 

worldwide, as well as reducing our 

debt. This means building and completing 

all the pipelines cancelled and 

building more, Churchill being one of 

them. 

None of this will happen for years 

because of the Liberal-NDP alliance, 

thus an immediate move towards 

Alberta independence or sovereignty 

like Quebec is crucial. Alberta producing 

more petroleum products 

would lead to a cleaner and safer 

planet.

OBITUARY 

Advice whether asked for it or not 

Nominate your Volunteer Citizen Of The Year 

Margaret D Spady (nee Kirschman) 

was born to Johannah and Emil 

Kirschman on Oct. 17, 1941, and left us 

on March 25, 2022. 

Mom was raised on the family farm 

in the Lauderdale District with her 

brother, Ken and sister, Helen. She and 

Helen went to Lauderdale School 

which was right across the road from 

their house. In Grade 9 she went to 

Castor for the rest of her schooling. 

Mom loved to dance and went to the 

dances on Saturday nights at the 

Castor Hall. There she met a ‘wild’ 

young man by the name of 

Tom Spady. They got married 

on July 29, 1960 and 

lived on a farm by the Battle 

River where they raised 

three children and Angus 

cattle. 

July 23, 1961 Deborah 

(Debby) was born, and they 

became three. On Nov. 26, 

1962 Sherri joined the 

family, followed by Craig on 

June 29, 1968. 

Although Mom was a 

Spady 

town girl, she adapted to the farm life. 

She learned to drive tractor and other 

machinery, help with the cattle and 

shoot gophers. 

Although mom liked animals, she 

was not a fan of horseback riding but 

Dad did get her on a few. 

Besides being a wife and mother, 

over the years she also worked at the 

Bank of Montreal, the Alliance 

Butcher shop and for the Castor FCSS. 

Mom loved to be outside in her yard. 

Her lawn was always green and 

immaculate. She had a huge garden 

with all her favourite vegetables which 

she harvested and prepared for winter. 

She started her seedlings in the basement 

until they were ready to be put in 

her greenhouse until the frost was 

gone and she could then plant them 

outside. 

She loved her flowers. Some of her 

favourites were roses, gladiolas, 

Shasta daisies, lilies, begonias and 

petunias. You would find these 

thoughtfully placed in her yard. Mom 

would use her flowers in arrangements 

that she gave to family and 

friends and took up to the local flower 

show. She won many prizes for her 

arrangements. 

Mom loved to cook and bake. She 

would try new recipes out. Some of 

our favourites were her chocolate 

chiffon cake, puffed wheat squares, 

broccoli casserole, apple crisp and her 

fresh fruit pies, just to name a few. She 

always had the coffee pot on and some 

baking for friends, neighbours and 

bull buyers who would drop by. 

Mom was very creative. She did 

many crafts throughout the years such 

as macrame, needle point, paper tole 

and cake decorating. Her cakes weren’t 

only delicious but beautiful with the 

flowers she decorated them with. 

She painted oil paintings from pictures 

of scenery she had taken and 

gave them to family and friends. 

Over the years mom made many 

friends from the different groups she 

belonged too including choir, Bible 

study, Bridge, Alliance Ladies 

Aide, Women’s World Institute, 

the church, the Lodge and her 

coffee girls. 

Mom’s greatest pride and joy 

were her grandchildren, Cody, 

Kourtney, Kass, Cayden and 

Jamie-Lee. Whenever possible 

she was there to watch and 

support them in their various 

activities including 4-H, 

hockey, ball, basketball, rodeo 

and ski races. 

Mom was not afraid to 

express her viewpoints and opinions. 

She let her children and grandchildren 

know what she thought and if any of us 

needed to be straightened out she 

would have a talk with us. Lots of 

times she gave advice whether we 

asked for it or not. 

Mom loved jokes. Her sense of 

humour was always there right to the 

end. 

Mom and Dad did many road trips. 

She loved driving through the mountains. 

They also went camping and 

fishing with friends throughout the 

years. She also loved playing cards 

with family and friends. 

Mom leaves to mourn her husband, 

Tom; children: Debby Hronek, Sherri 

(Bill) Innocent, Craig (Jody) Spady; 

grandchildren: Cody Innocent, 

Kourtney Hronek (Chris Jickling), 

Kassidy Hronek, Cayden Spady and

Business Owner Is Tired of 

yo-yo Dieting!! 

Hypnosis helps Roxie achieve easier, 

stress free, lasting weight loss. 

After trying several other diets and eventually gaining 

it all back, Roxie decided to try hypnosis for weight 

loss. She wanted to decrease some medication that 

she was taking, get slimmer, and healthier. In 4 

months, Roxie lost 21lbs and over 27 inches. She 

easily reached her goal of fitting into an outfit she 

wanted to wear for Christmas. 

“Hypnosis is easy to incorporate into a daily routine, 

and there is no specific ‘diet’ to follow so it fits 

into anyones lifestyle. The 6 week weigh in is so 

rewarding as a huge change is noted as my clothes 

get looser and looser! I have decreased cravings for 

unhealthy foods. Reducing my medications is an 

ongoing goal, but I am well on my way!”

ECA REVIEW 

Government supports 

emerging clean technologies 

The Government of Canada is 

making investments to enhance 

Canada’s competitive advantage, diversify 

market opportunities, create good 

middle-class jobs and achieve our 

emissions reduction targets. 

Today, the Honourable Jonathan 

Wilkinson, Minister of Natural 

Resources Canada, announced a combined 

investment of over $7.5 million to 

four organizations in Alberta that are 

advancing emerging clean technologies 

to grow our economy and help 

Canada meet its environmental 

targets. 

These projects include: 

$3,000,000 to Suncor Energy Inc. in 

Fort McMurray, Alta. to demonstrate 

the effectiveness of the Permanent 

Aquatic Storage Structure to accelerate 

the dewatering and removal of 

contaminants in fluid tailings and, 

combined with watershed design, to 

create a self-sustaining boreal pit lake 

ecosystem; 

$2,000,000 to Cenovus Energy Inc. in 

Calgary to demonstrate the effectiveness 

of a partial-upgrading process 

which is intended to reduce diluent use 

and the greenhouse gas emissions 

related to crude transportation; 

$1,500,000 to MEG Energy Corp. in 

Christina Lake, Alta. to prove the commercial 

viability of a process to reduce 

the viscosity of heavy, bituminous oil 

through on-site pilot testing; and, 

$1,050,000 to Seal Well Inc. in 

Calgary to demonstrate the use of a 

bismuth-based metal alloy as a more 

effective sealant 

to permanently 

prevent the 

leakage of gases 

from producing 

and abandoned 

oil and gas wells. 

Federal 

funding was provided 

through the 

Clean Growth 

Program, a 

$155-million 

investment in 

clean technology 

research, development 

and 

demonstration 

projects in three 

Canadian sectors: 

energy, mining 

and forestry. The 

program 

launched in 

2017–18 and sunsets 

this year. 

These investments demonstrate the 

Government of Canada’s ongoing commitment 

to supporting innovative 

projects in the energy, mining and forestry 

sectors to create clean, 

sustainable and competitive natural 

resource sectors while reducing the 

environmental impacts of operations 

and fighting climate change.
