WARD 4 COUNCILLOR UPDATE FOR DECEMBER 2015

The Seniors Christmas Luncheon was held on November 24th. All Seniors/Elders from all over the region were invited. The Anzac community hall was full. It was a great time with a good dinner, door prizes and bingo. I want to give a big thank

you to Nicole, June and Rose volunteer members of the Anzac Family Community Support Services board and the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo staff for hosting the event. The Anzac school children and teachers made the words “Game On” in the school yard on November 24th to welcome the bid committee for the 2017 Senior Games and the 2018 Alberta Winter games as they flew over in helicopters. Thank you for being so supportive. It was a very enjoyable experience. At our Rural Development meeting in November we discussed the place making and entrance signs for Janvier and Conklin. The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo employees will be doing sewer pump outs in Conklin starting around December 15th. The rates are very reasonable. Flyers and message boards will be used in the community to inform the residents who to call. The RMWB is in the process of going to a seven day delivery schedule for all residents in Gregoire Lake Estates, Anzac, Janvier and Conklin. This is to help with the workload. Council spent the first week in November at budget workshops. The budget will be presented at the December 8th, Council meeting. At the present time there is an organizational review occurring at the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. This review was initiated by Council. There was a Council engagement in Fort McKay on November 23rd which I attended. There are upcoming Council engagements for Anzac/Gregoire Lake Estates, Janvier and Conklin. For any good deeds or concerns please e-mail [email protected] or telephone 780-334-0516.

PHONE NUMBER SPOOFING I RECEIVED A CALL AND MY CALL DISPLAY

INDICATED A PHONE NUMBER 123-456-7890 OR

777-777-7778 (OR ANY OTHER STRANGE

COMBINATION OF NUMBERS)

THIS IS A PHONE NUMBER THAT HAS BEEN

PROGRAMMED INTO THE SYSTEM SO YOUR CALL

DISPLAY INDICATES A DIFFERENT NUMBER THAN

THE ORIGINATORS. ALTHOUGH THIS DOES NOT

MEAN THE OFFER YOU ARE RECEIVING IS ILLEGAL,

YOU SHOULD CERTAINLY HAVE A "RED FLAG"

APPROACH TO ANY OFFER.
