Summer Review & Upcoming Events:
Welcome back from what I hope was a glorious summer for you. During the summer I participated in many events supporting Rocky View County and our residents. Starting with the Farm Family awards for Southern Alberta, Rocky View County’s first pancake breakfast in our new building where I saw many of you, Rocky View County’s Agricultural Tour, which was pretty fantastic to experience our diverse agricultural sector and meet so many new people, and speaking on behalf of the County at the Glenbow Indigenous Peoples Day as well as numerous meetings and conversations with many Division 2 residents. It has been a busy summer!
Around the Division: Fall Fair: of course, the biggest event for us in Springbank is our Fall Fair. This year’s event is happening on September 7th at the Springbank Park for All Seasons. Rocky View County will have a booth setup, so please stop by to say hi! I’ll be there along with members of the Rocky View Administration, Fire Department and our CAO, Al Hoggan will be there for much of the day. We’ll have some giveaways for the kids and even some for the big kids (while supplies last). Also, a draw for a power washer, so ensure you enter! The draw will happen at our Council meeting on September 10th. The Fall Fair is also a great time to find out what is happening in our community for the little ones as well as adults!
Enforcement: From the hours of 8am to 4pm the speed limit along RR 33 by the middle school, and again by the High School along RR 33 and Springbank Road is 30/km hr. Outside of these hours the speed limit is 70 km/hr. Our school zones are NOT playground zones, which means they are only in effect on school days. School holidays, general holidays and weekends, when there is no school, 70 km/hr is the speed limit. I know someone gave me some very expressive hand gestures on a holiday Monday when I drove past them and the middle school at 70 km/hr one day – so know the school calendar – you can find it on the Rocky View Schools website. Also, don’t think you can bypass the school zone by travelling down Huggard Road – this is 40 km/hr area!
