Due to the extreme drought conditions that are affecting all Southern Alberta, we are asking our residents to do your part in conserving water. Voluntary action now will prevent the need for mandatory restrictions in the coming days and weeks.

Ways to conserve water can include:

• Limiting all outdoor uses including watering lawns and washing cars.
• Do not run the tap unnecessarily. Consider reusing water where possible.
• Minimize shower time and bath levels.
• Use the washer and dishwasher only when necessary.
• Flush toilets only when necessary.
• Brainstorm ideas to see where other conservation efforts might make sense

Please be informed that due to a recent vacancy in our council, a by-election will be held on September 25, 2023. This event offers a unique opportunity for residents to contribute to our community’s leadership and decision-making processes.

We encourage everyone’s active participation in this important electoral process, either by running for office, nominating a candidate, or casting your vote on Election Day.
