Ward 4 Councillor Report

Fridge magnets have been made by the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. The fridge magnets will have the numbers to call for rural water and sewer services. They will be going out in May or June to all the residents that require this service. The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo is having a Council engagement in Janvier. There will be a Seniors/Elders supper with Mayor and Council on Wednesday, May 18th, from 4:00 to 6:00 pm. I hope to see all the residents of Janvier at the engagement. Congratulations to all the youth who represented Janvier in Hockey tournaments this past season. In following face book it has been a great year.

At our rural development meeting on April 26th in Council chambers the following are the discussion topics:

1. Place making in Rural Communities 2. Road repairs in Rural Communities 3. Rural Transit Services Update 4. Rural Water and Sewer Projects update

Every meeting each month we get an update on the rural water and sewer as it is a big project. I need to have the Councillor report in for the rural newsletters by April 25th. I will update the residents on the rural development meeting in my next newsletter. All residents are welcome to come to the Rural Development meeting and listen to the discussions. The meetings are held on the 4th Tuesday of each month starting at 3:30 or 4:00 pm depending on the amount of items on the agenda. The meetings are held in Council Chambers. The information is posted on the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo website. I was involved in the Food Bank Drive on Sunday April 3rd. We were stationed in front of the Anzac Grocery. Thank you to all the residents who donated. Also thank you to Nexen who sponsors an employee at the food bank. This employee delivers food hampers to residents in the rural hamlets who need them. It was so great to hear this news. Mayor and Council met with federal Minister Sohi on March 31, 2016. Minister Sohi’s portfolio is Infrastructure and Communities. Topics that were discussed were housing, highway 881, rural water and sewer and streetlights at entrance to hamlets. It was a very constructive meeting. We should see sidewalk lights on Willow lake road in Anzac this year. For any good deeds or concerns please e-mail [email protected] or telephone 780-334-0516 or 780-799-6024.

PRIZE PITCH One of the most common scams is the "prize pitch". Consumers are told they have been specially selected to win a prize, or have been awarded one of three or two of five prizes. These prizes usually include cash or a vehicle. You must purchase a product and pay in advance to receive your prize. These products may include "coin collections", personalized pen sets, etc. The products are generally cheap or overpriced, but may sound valuable over the phone. Remember, in a legitimate contest you do not have to purchase a product to qualify for a prize. You may also encounter the "sweepstakes scam". After entering a fake sweepstakes contest in the mail, you will receive a call within two to four weeks from a fraudulent telemarketer. This person will usually identify themselves as a lawyer, judge, customs agent or other official. They will represent themselves as an agent for a particular company. You will be told that you have won a large cash award, but money must be sent up front.
