Viking 4-H Beef Club celebrates 80 years Club announces 80th year will be its last Patricia Harcourt Editor

The Viking 4-H Beef Club marked its 80th year with a birthday cake at the district show and sale this year. But after a remarkable year for the club taking high honours in many categories, the club is folding. This was the final year for a club that ran strong for eight decades in the community but, due to dwindling membership numbers, must now dissolve. “For our club, it was a very successful Beaver District Show,” said Viking 4-H leader Karen Brooke. “Our members achieved the honoured project show placings of Grand Champion Market Steer, Champion and Reserve Champion

Heifer, Champion and Reserve Cow-Calf Pair, and Supreme and Reserve Supreme Female.” However, it was not enough to keep the club going into the future. “I will add that it was a bitter sweet celebration as we also announced that this will be the final year of the Viking 4-H Beef Club,” she said. “Due to declining membership, we are no longer able to fulfill the minimum membership or leader requirements,” Brooke explained. The marking of 80 years as a club during the Beaver District Show and Sale included a display of memorabilia and a presentation to honour the anniversary of the club’s existence. Continued on Page 2

Viking 4-H 80th Year Continued from Cover “We acknowledged the current and alumni members, and leaders of the Viking Beef Club, as well as the many individuals, businesses and local community groups who have supported the group over the course of the years,” said Brooke. To commemorate the anniversary, all the current members received a custom belt buckle. Also presented buckles were Austin and Landon Hogstead who as alumni spent many years as members. But they also returned every year since their 4-H graduation to assist the club with the Achievement Day shows. The era has now ended, however. The club will officially dissolve after Sept. 30, 2024. Below: The Viking 4-H Beef Club held a display marking its 80th year as a club during the Beaver District Show and Sale, including a memorabilia table and a birthday cake. Members were also given official belt buckles to mark the occasion.

Viking Royal Purple Hot wing contestants challenge to step up for fundraiser We met on May 7 for our regular monthly meeting. This was a special meeting as we were having the installation of our 24/25 executive. The evening started with a wonderful salad supper, complete with fresh buns and super desserts. Our meeting followed. We are trying to come up with ideas as to how to celebrate our 75th anniversary next year. A tea, a snow castle day, a fashion show, and being part of a Halloween Zombie Walk. If anyone thinks of a great idea, let us know. A letter has been sent to the senior centre executive to see if we can place metal benches outside the centre’s door. We are waiting to hear back. The funds would be part of our Lois and Ralph Child donation. We were also asked about helping financially to paint at the centre and are waiting to hear back from that, too. We will celebrate

Royal Purple Day on May 28 at the Extendicare and June 4 at the Vialta Lodge – both at 2 p.m. Once again we will serve cake and ice cream and we will have Grades 2, 3, 4 and 5 swimming kids for our entertainment. Everyone is welcome to join us for treats and to see the awesome entertainers again. Also, 3rd VP Doreen Willey went shopping for the hygiene items for the food bank and we got them delivered. Both Treasurer Holly Perley and Doreen will do more shopping later this month. The food bank is always in need of supplies. If you are able to help with donating supplies or assisting this very busy crew, please do. Many of us attended the Volunteer Appreciation lunch. As usual it was great. The FCSS staff put on a great lunch and program. And 1st VP Chris

Boadway had attended the Historical Society AGM; they are like all of us - in need of more volunteers to assist with projects and events. Now that they have the old Anglican Church and Hall, they have many more projects planned. If you have time for memorabilia and the like, contact any one of their members and they will put you to work! Our Hot Wing contest is fast approaching. We really need more contestants to register and be part of our fundraiser and this really fun event. Many letters were sent to local businesses and to the groups that we have supported for many of our 75 years in Viking. We would truly appreciate if each group would register a brave eater and help us make this a success. If we do not raise sufficient funds, then the many groups that we support right now will not be receiving their usual donation. If your

group supports US – we will support you! We have just recently given funds or items to Preschool, Viking Dance, Viking Library, Hospital Auxiliary, Cloverlodge, Viking School – swimming, Grade 12 Award and Ranch Camp, Viking Food Bank, FCSS Family Day and school supplies and Historical Society.

We would like to challenge more of you to get involved. Thanks to Mario at the Viking Up Town Hotel as he pledged assistance with the wings and cooking; Cloverlodge and super volunteer Muriel for letting us be part of their show, and for Shaun who is the only courageous Cloverlodge cow-

boy to tackle the wings; to farmer Braden from the Elks Club for his fearless support; to the most awesome and daring Mayor Jamie, sponsored by himself, and who is carrying all town council on his shoulders as he eats his way to victory for all of them; and the heroic Bart who has Continued on Page 7

JOHN’S RANT UCP smart to walk back controversial policy proposals The province walked back two bills it had introduced earlier last week after they proved unpopular, and there was considerable push back by the public. The first was a move to cancel funding for those in hardship positions to have access to public transportation passes. The government announced this funding was to be cancelled without ever giving a reason. Correctly perceived by the public as unfair on a vulnerable segment of the population, it was quickly restored after Premier Danielle Smith intervened. While the move would have really affected those primarily in Edmonton and Calgary, I find it’s often very hard to walk back decisions that are already in place and functioning well and serving a legitimate purpose. The second decision to be walked back by the province is Bill 20. This, introduced by Municipal Affairs Minister Ric McIver, would allow the province to introduce political parties (initially only in Edmonton and Calgary) and give the province the powers to recall municipal councillors and quash municipal bylaws deemed by the province as unpopular. That is a very loose description. The actual policy was much more detailed. A webinar available online by Alberta Legal Counsel details the changes very well. But after denouncing the Federal Liberals for poking their noses into provincial jurisdiction, I feel it’s fairly hypocritical of the UCP to be doing the same thing with municipal affairs. Bill 20 resulted in a large outcry from all corners of the community. Again, this is a wise move. If the Province wants to embark in this direction it needs much more thought and a

much more detailed rationale for the residents. On the matter of political parties, I really don’t see a huge advantage to a municipal councillor declaring himself or herself to be a Conservative, NDP, Liberal or Communist party supporter. I would expect most people would know what their politics are fairly quickly in their campaigns. Those who run for municipal office, generally are involved in other levels of politics in some sort of capacity. Meanwhile, I can remember growing up in the Greater Toronto area when special interest groups backed candidates, who they then expected to endorse the special interest group’s ideas once elected. The one I most remember is the two opposing sides when the Allen Expressway was being debated on whether to build it from the Highway 401 into the downtown area, thus destroying several neighbourhoods. The expressway, now lovingly known as the Spadina Ditch, was constructed to the south end of the massive Yorkdale Shopping Centre, but that’s where it ended. Those opposing the freeway won the day. The same also applies to municipal politicians who may be pro-development or oppose development, oppose growth or promote it. There is funding available for them. And that sort of support could be identified as a quasi political party. The Tyee’s left leaning scribbler David Climenhaga, suggested the political party idea in Calgary and Edmonton “was legislation clearly intended to get voters, especially in Alberta’s two biggest cities, to stop electing progressive city councillors

who are not in lockstep with the UCP’s increasingly authoritarian policies.” On the surface that seemed to be a reasonable argument and I expect one of the reasons it has been walked back. On the subject of recalling municipal councillors, I would say there is a policy in place for that already. A few cases have been conducted already under the MGA recall including the successful removal of Ryley’s mayor, and the unsuccessful attempts on Lamont County’s Division Three Councillor David Diduck and Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek. While the determination of legitimate numbers for a recall are difficult depending on the size of the municipality, that could be changed. Having cabinet remove a councillor however could be fraught with issues. Who lodges the complaint? Does it go to the local MLA before getting to cabinet? If that's the case, depending on who the MLA is and their relationship with the local councillor, it might not see the light of day. Better to let the people who elected the

councillor make the decision on whether the person should be removed or not. When it comes to overruling municipal bylaws, again I wonder who makes the complaint that a bylaw must be overturned? Is it the residents or the local MLA? Does the local MLA bring it to cabinet or does the complainant bring it to cabinet? Since municipal bylaws cover a wide range of issues, what criteria is needed to have a bylaw overturned? A lot of questions have to be answered before any of this should be attempted. The Province, if it wants to proceed, should strike a committee, similar to the Fair Deal Panel, to travel the province meeting residents and municipal officials to get input. Maybe, shock disbelief, everything is fine and no changes are warranted. Right now, the current proposal looks like it could be very vindictive, depending on who was wielding power. Much more thought is needed. JOHN MATHER

WORD ON THE STREET

Viking business broken into, tools stolen Barb Chrystian 780-385-0631 On May 7, police responded to a glass break alarm at a local business in Viking. When members arrived the front door to the business had been broken. The keyholder attended the location and video surveillance was reviewed. Two suspects entered the business and several tools were stolen. This matter is still under investigation. Also this day, police learned a man had failed to attend court in Vegreville to answer to unrelated charges previously laid by Viking RCMP. A warrant for his arrest was issued. Upon his arrest, he will be facing an additional charge for failing to attend court. In the early morning of May 8, police responded to a disturbance at a rural residence. The complainant advised his ex-partner was at the residence intoxicated and damag-

ing his property. Police arrived on scene and spoke with the complainant who advised the subject had left and was possibly at her residence in Viking. A patrol to the residence located the female who denied damaging any property and accused the complainant of causing the damage. After being warned about driving, she advised members that she was not going anywhere. The complainant was spoken to and did not want to provide a statement or proceed with any charges. On May 10, police were advised of a structure fire at a rural property northeast of Viking. A holiday trailer was completely destroyed and police are awaiting a fire inspection report to determine if further investigation is warranted. That same morning, police received information of a vehicle on

Viking Historical Society calls for donations for gas camp project Patricia Harcourt Editor The Viking Historical Society is putting out a call for people to donate memorabilia for their latest project. The project concerns the recording and preservation of the story of the gas camp north of Viking and its importance to the town and the province. “It will be our new display that is going to go in the St. Matthew’s Church Anglican Parish Hall,” said Kyla Lawes, one of the organizers at the society. It will be an historical display of the Northwestern Utilities/Atco Viking Gas Camp and the society is collecting donations “of any kind,” such as photos, signs, hats, coveralls, pins, magazine clippings, or news articles. “The gas industry has

employed many residents of Viking over the years, and has attracted new residents to the area since gas was struck here in 1914,” said Lawes. “Natural gas wells around Viking supplied homes, businesses, schools and halls with light and heat from Viking to Edmonton using a pipeline that was originally dug by hand.” The historical society has compiled a compelling story of the era. In the early days morse code messages were used to tell staff at the gas camp in Viking to adjust the gas flow into the pipeline. Many of the staff at the gas camp lived right at the camp, either with their families in homes or in the staff house that provided beds and meals to the men who worked on the rigs and at the camp. “They even had their

own church at the camp which is now at the Viking Museum, called Mount Carmel Catholic Church,” said Lawes. “To help us tell the story we are looking for pictures and any kind of memorabilia from Northwestern Utilities or Atco Gas, Shamrocks ball team, and Gas Kings hockey uniforms and jerseys.” These and other memorabilia can be dropped off at the Viking Town Office or with Mike at J&L Automotive. “The tentative opening date for the display is July 6, so we would like to have donations collected as soon as possible,” said Lawes. But she also noted that, “there is no deadline as the display can be added to as artifacts are unearthed from attics and basements.”.

Ryley to buy back their own water distribution system for $1

Village to operate their own water system for the first time in 32 years Jana Semeniuk Village of Ryley Deputy Mayor Brian Ducherer made an announcement during the village’s public engagement session on Apr. 30, that the village of Ryley will soon be in charge of their water distribution system. In earlier reports, Ryley Chief Administrative Officer Glen Hamilton-Brown said the system has been handled by the Highway 14 Regional Water Commission who purchased it from the village in the early 90s. “You may know that Ryley does not manage the water utility. Well, we haven't for 30 years anyways. That is about to change,” said Ducherer to the crowd of 45 during the public engagement session. “Ryley has made the decision to take ownership of the Ryley water distribution system, and to manage our water utility service.” Issues arose last year when Ryley Chief

Administrative Officer, Glen Hamilton Brown made a request of the Highway 14 Regional Water Services Commission for them to replace a section of their water system at the same time as a planned road construction project. Hamilton-Brown was concerned with the water system breaking down during construction, due to its 70-year age, and was met with a refusal from the water commission. Hamilton-Brown said that the village wanted to transfer ownership of the whole system back to the village but were having trouble reaching an agreement with the Highway 14 Regional Water Services Commission, who wanted payment of $900,000 for the system. Now he said an agreement has been reached. “We said, ‘Look, we know you have liabilities and assets in it, (and) we have liability, so we said, let's just call it balanced, whether we call it (for)

$1, because we have to, or whether we just call it a trade, whatever. Let's just get it done,’” he said. Hamilton-Brown said he is happy for the good outcome, but admits that there are several things to be figured. One item on his mind is how they will manage a truck fill system that’s attached in addition to water that feeds the Equity Industrial Park. “We’ve got to figure out those wrinkles,” he said. “We'll have a metre (so) they'll know how much water they take. And then we have to figure out how to then take off when it comes out of the reservoir and goes to Ryley and goes also back over to Equity Industrial. It’s a good relationship and we’re committed to doing it.” Hamilton-Brown said they have not reached a decision on exactly when the transfer of ownership will take place although they gave him an estimate of six months. “Six months from now is potentially winter, and

County’s GPC meeting discusses many issues Patricia Harcourt Beaver County’s Governance and Priorities Committee (GPC) discussed many issues at the latest meeting May 1. GPC is designed to remove items that

require more information and discussion, often in closed session, before a recommendation is made to county council for action by way of motions. The committee is composed of the five councillors on county council,

including Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1), councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2), Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3), councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4), and councillor Dale Pederson (Division 5).

Council approved the GPC meeting minutes for April 3. which included closed session discussions on advice from officials regarding the water viability project, councillor remuneration, the recreation shared services funding (capital), and

the CAO performance evaluation template. GPC member Bruce made a motion after coming out of closed session, which read that Policy GOV-006 regarding councillor remuneration be referred “to administration to pre-

pare an amendment to reflect the removal of the r a t e p a y e r inquiries/meetings and meeting preparation days from the Basic Meetings category. Another motion by member Williams was Continued on BCC4

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Reader: Forget politics; hire a good engineer An Open Letter: To Division Three, Four, and Five Beaver County Taxpayers; Our roads have been neglected for over a decade and it is time for big changes. I looked up road engineer salaries and they average $100,000 a year. A previous statement showed a $500,000 administration cost in Public Works. A qualified road engineer would ensure that

the proper amount of gravel would be applied, not like the year that about two-thirds was applied to about half of the county. A huge cost. They would also know what size and type of gravel is needed. Example: Take a drive with a fuel efficient vehicle used on our miles of hardtop roads and drive across 500 one mile south of our councillor’s residence. They would also ensure the water holding ridges,

common along roads with areas of two and more feet of grass on the road edges, would be part of a wider road. We, after grading, use two or more litres of fuel, weaving along at a slow speed, and we commonly replace windshields. The tire tracks are often full of water due to gravel ridges. On 500 they have done three shoulder pulls in two places, now the areas are so narrow that big vehicles are in danger pass-

Summer public works crews cleaning up

Town of Tofield Public Works were cleaning up the sidewalks on main street on Friday, blowing pebbles and other small debris off the sidewalk.

Beaver County GPC Continued from BCC1 for the GPC to “recommend the CAO Performance Evaluation Template as presented in closed session to county council for approval. Both of these motions coming out of closed session were passed. GPC also completed a survey regarding the Intermunicipal C o l l a b o r a t i o n Framework process to support Municipal Affairs in its review of the legislation. GPC members carried a motion by Williams asking administration to audit the assessments conducted by the provincial assessor for the county “on designat-

ed industrial property and other linear assessment within Beaver County.” A motion by Hrabec just previous to this motion asked the provincial assessor to attend a GPC meeting to present information on designated industrial property and other linear assessment in Beaver County. Following approval of the previoius month’s GPC meeting, committee members started into the May 1 agenda, starting with a closed session. One topic was Canadian National Railway’s “counter offer regarding county council’s motion #24-044 and Motion #24-045. Delegations took place in open session from the Battle River School Division and the Tofield

Golden Club. Under Business, a gunfire complaint from Rhona and Sebastian Lawson was discussed. Rhona Lawson wrote a letter to the county asking for help to restrict gunfire near her farm residence in the west end of the county. “I understand the Alberta government is going to bat for people’s rights to use firearms but who is upholding my rights to a peaceful home?” she states in her letter. “It’s all well and good to uphold people’s rights but what happens when they begin to infringe on the people who live around them?” The GPC can make a decision to recommend a position or action to county council, which will determine what, if anything, is done.

ing. Not to mention the sharp tire-eating twoinch gravel. An engineer would teach them to properly repair the mudholes and get this county back on track of rebuilding country roads. Hard top roads are nice but we all can’t have them. The majority of farms have off farm jobs and we all need proper roads. Do you know that if you have a hard top county road you don’t get a bill for $1,200 a year for dust control? We could all use 200-feet of free hardtop. I heard a rumour that there will be hard top north of Bruce this year; it was originally booked for 2017. I suggest that you all should get together and do some serious planning on the

future of our roads. The majority of our taxes are spent in the west. Also maybe rethink the huge fire bills we get. BESC is the only system of its high cost kind in any Alberta county that I know of. Also we need to look at administration costs. When I was councillor I was told they were all overworked and then I find out they had gotten a shortened week plus two extra days a month off, and the Ag Department gets a pile more than the other two counties I compared with. When was the last time they helped you out? Remember, your CAO is getting a lot of money and should be on top of all this. About a decade ago the county spent around

$7 million on public works, from about $12 million income. A low provincial average. Last year the county spent $7,163,544 from over a $17 million income; an extremely low percentage again spent on public works. The CAO told me there is not money for more. I said the money is there, just not put in the right place.... We need our roads greatly improved for safety, able to handle the loads, and improve our county’s image. So councillors for Divisions Three, Four, and Five, please forget politics and hire a good engineer and give him the authority to begin rebuilding our roads properly. Dale L. Collison Beaver County

Alberta Legislature greets former Viking CAO on tour Patricia Harcourt Editor

A former long-time Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) for the Town of Viking and hospital administrator was the guest of Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely while visiting the Alberta Legislature. “It was my sincere honour to have Rod Krips from the Town of Viking as my guest in the Alberta Legislature on Thursday.” says Lovely. “I introduced him to Minister of Municipal Affairs Ric McIver, Minister of Children and Family Services Searle Turton, and Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction Dale Nally.” He took the tour along with Kayla Law, Stakeholder Relations Manager for Fortis Alberta, who liaisons with the Town of Viking on a regular basis. The two know each other through the Town of Viking as Krips, with his strong municipal background, also acts as a facilitator for the town. And he is perhaps best known for his work as the CAO for the Town of Viking ( September 1997 to December 2013). He took another CAO position in Daysland (February 2014 to January 2022) before retiring. Previous to being a CAO, he was a hospital administrator at Viking, where he oversaw the building of a new 32-bed hospital which opened in 1981, and later added Daysland hospital to his duties. He looked after both facilities until 1995 when the province regionalization elimi-

nated the positions. Then followed a stint overseas working in two hospitals in Jakarta, Indonesia until 1997 when he returned to start his new career as a CAO for the Town of Viking. Krips and his late wife, Ellen, raised their family here. He still calls Viking home in retirement, and finds time to contribute to the community. He enjoyed his recent visit to the Legislature, having kept up with municipal and provincial happenings: “During my time in Viking I followed provincial politics on a regular basis, especially when Ed Stelmach was Premier of Alberta, and it has been a number of years since I visited the Legislature,” he said. “So it was nice to be invited back to the Chamber by MLA Jackie Lovely, and I was introduced to the Assembly by MLA Lovely. “I attended the afternoon session May 9, 2024 including Question Period and Government Bills and Orders of the Day,” he said, adding: “There were lots of questions relating to Bill 20 - The Municipal Affairs Statutes Amendment Act 2024, which has received first and second reading.” Lovely related an amusing episode while they were touring the library at the Legislature. That’s where Krips was introduced to a 55-year-old hamburger that has been kept in the library since 1969. Apparently, a disgruntled MLA tabled the hamburger in protest of the cafeteria food. Said Lovely: “It’s among one of the

Stunning northern lights dazzle Alberta’s skies

JAN BERGSETH PHOTOS

Leslie Cholowsky Staff Reporter

A huge solar storm blanketing much of the northern hemisphere made for some amazing views over the weekend, particularly on Friday, May 10, before smoke blanketed much of the region. Aurora watcher Jan Bergseth was at her farm with her daughter Shannon from around 10:30 until midnight on Friday. “It kept changing, coming and going. Most of

the time it was right over us, over the whole sky. Like a starburst.” She says the images she captured with her phone’s camera often showed colours not as visible to the naked eye. She says the pinks were the hardest to actually see and that lines up with science, as the reds lowest in the colour spectrum, and are caused by Atomic Oxygen excited at great altitudes. The red and pink colours are generally only visible during intense solar activity. Green lights are emitted when Atomic Oxygen is excited at

lower altitudes, while purple and blue are caused by Ionized molecular nitrogen. The latter two colors are also associated with intense solar activity. The solar storm that caused the display apparently caught NOAA by surprise as it arrived earlier than expected. The storm, rated as a G5 intensity, is the strongest to have hit the Earth since October 2003. A storm of this intensity can effect HF/VH/UHF communications, GPS, power grids, spacecraft, satellite navigation, and other technologies.

McIver clarifies intent and power of Alberta’s Bill 20 during rural roundtable Leslie Cholowsky Staff Reporter

In an exclusive rural media round table with Municipal Affairs Minister Ric McIver, rural journalists had an opportunity to dive a little deeper into the whys of Bill 20. One of the things that McIver stressed is that none of the powers given to the Province under Bill 20 with regards to removal of councillors or amending bylaws are new. “These are not new powers, this is a new way of delivering powers that have always been there.” McIver said the new bill reduces the ability of a councillor or Council, “To do any darn thing you want,” and instead holds them accountable to the Municipal Government Act and to act in the public interest. “To be clear, we already have the authority, this is a new expedited way to express that authority.” While he said Bill 20 doesn’t necessarily give more transparency to the actions of having to remove a councillor, for example, because it will be done in cabinet, he did say that a decision like that would never be taken lightly, and that the government would never take action that couldn’t be defended. “It’s very public, that someone is going to be

dismissed, and the public and cabinet of the day are going to own that decision and would need to be able to defend it, from that day until the next election. ...I wouldn’t want to be a member of a cabinet who overturned a bylaw, or removed a duly elected councillor without having a good reason why. I think I’d pay a terrible price for that and I think my political career would be over.” McIver gave two examples of when the Province stepped in to correct a bylaw that went past a municipal Council’s authority, or was not in the best interest of the population. He cited Edmonton’s masking bylaw, put in place when the Province dropped the need to wear masks, exceeding the authority of the municipality. At that time, exerting the authority it already has, the Province passed a piece of legislature limiting a municipalities power to pass such a bylaw. Another example occurred just recently, when Calgary failed to act swiftly in changing how it calculates electricity local access fees. McIver says that while the city passed a bylaw amending the rates, which were partially based on market pricing and varied widely, but not until 2027, the Province was forced into action again, to pass legislature banning the use of variable rates, effective immediately.

McIver noted that both of these bylaws were enacted by the cities while legislature was in session, saying that if either had happened during the summer months, nothing could be done without recalling MLAs. Under the new Bill 20, he says remedies are in place to act sooner in the future. Also of some concern to the province, he says, with regards to declaring political party affiliations in municipalities, especially with regards to Calgary, is that in the last municipal election $1.6 million was donated by various union groups for nine candidates running for that Council, McIver says. He says with regards to third-party advertising, another $1.7 million came in, some of it from outside the country. “According to the rules of the day, that isn’t illegal, but it is concerning. Here are these large sums of money that no one, including voters, knew where that money came from.” McIver says that if the bill passes at the end of May, as planned, the Province has plans to “fully consult with municipalities over the summer, before the regulations around the bill will be put in place,” adding, “Because people who deal with this day-to-day, most of the time have great ideas on how to put that in action.”

RCMP urge safety for May long weekend Patricia Harcourt Editor

With the May long weekend at hand, the need to practice driving and road safety is a strong message being sent out by Alberta RCMP. This is also, coincidentally, National Road Safety Week (May 14-20), and drivers are being cautioned to avoid swerving when encountering wildlife on the road. Alberta RCMP will be taking the same time period to promote safe driving behaviours and will undertake targeted enforcement during National Impaired Driving Enforcement Day. These annual campaigns are conducted in the hope of reducing colli-

sions, injuries and deaths, especially during the Victoria Day long weekend. They plan to concentrate on the driving behaviours causing the most mayhem on roads, including drug and alcohol impaired driving, driving while fatigued, driving while distracted, and driving while not wearing a seatbelt. Tips to avoid these behaviours are also offered. Consuming drugs or alcohol means arranging for alternate transportation from a sober friend, taxi, family member or ride-sharing service. If other drivers are behaving in a manner that is upsetting, or encounter another motorist driving

aggressively, pull over in a safe manner and contact the police. And always buckle up before driving no matter the length of the trip. Sgt. Darrin Turnbull, Alberta RCMP Traffic Services, says: “In 2022, the Alberta RCMP removed 7,707 impaired drivers from provincial roadways, an average of 21 impaired drivers per day.” He added that, during Canada Road Safety Week, 205 impaired drivers were removed from roadways by officers. “As part of Canada’s Road Safety Strategy 2025, you can play a part in making Canada’s roads the safest in the world,” he added.

May Long Safety Continued from Page 15

This year’s theme for road safety week is “Navigating Wildlife Encounters on the Road.” The Canada Safety Council sponsors this safety week, is asking drivers to be prepared if they encounter wildlife on the road. They ask: “If an animal jumps out on the road, directly in your path, do you know what to do?” Gareth Jones, President and CEO of the Canada Safety Council says that, when encountering unexpected challenges on the road, “our preparedness becomes of vital importance.” Being prepared involves reflexes, composure and knowledge acquired through proactive training, experience and awareness, he said. And the training could

be valuable to help in a moment of crisis. Between 2000 and 2020, 570 people were killed in collisions with wildlife (Traffic Injury Research Foundation). More than half of the collisions involved moose, while 32 per cent involved deer. They mainly occur during the summer months from June to August (42 per cent). Another 33 per cent take place between September and November. If an animal is on the road, avoid swerving as the animal may go into the direction of the swerve. Swerving can lead to loss of control or a collision with a different hazard or another driver. One-third of collisions are caused by an abrupt change in driving direction. Use bright headlights in the morning and dusk to see better, scan for animals entering the roadway and for shining eyes.

Flickering headlights from oncoming traffic could mean an animal is crossing in front of that vehicle’s path. If it’s a deer, brake firmly but quickly and sound the horn in short bursts. Drive straight however, with the hope the deer will bolt out of the path of your vehicle. If not, slowing down will limit the impact. A moose has special instructions due to its stature and weight. If a collision can’t avoided brake hard and aim for its flank to avoid any impact of the roof or windshield. Most of a moose’s weight is in the front half of its body. Crouch in your seat upon impact as the animal’s body can pose a threat as well. Practice defensive driving, limit your speed and watch surroundings carefully to avoid becoming a statistic. Visit the Canada Safety Council website for more information.
