‘Let Your Dreams Take Flight’
Irma Grads celebrate the beginning of their next chapter
Patricia Harcourt Editor
The Class of 2025 at Irma School was celebrated during graduation ceremonies Friday night in the school auditorium. Their graduation theme was “Let Your Dreams Take Flight,” and the nine grads made their family and friends proud of their achievements in their local school and community.
This year’s crop of graduates included Evan Allen, Amanda Cepeda, Blake Fuder, Riley Gulbraa, Noah Lohman, Ryan Lowe, Zoey Newton, Rowdy Rundle and Gabrielle Rue.
This year’s graduation ushers were Madhav Bagga and Cole Fleming.
Principal Darren Grosky greeted everyone prior to the Processional and each grad was applauded as they made their way to the stage walking to music each had chosen for the occasion.
Local trustee Tanya Ford brought greetings from the Buffalo Trail Public School (BTPS) Board.
“There’s something special about graduations in a small town,” she said. “No dream is out of reach when you are willing to earn it…Every dream is important and valued and there are no small things in these dreams.”
Assistant Superintendent James Trodden spoke on behalf of BTPS Central Office: “It is my honour and absolute pleasure to bring greetings,” he said. “This celebration is more than just the end of the school year…It’s a milestone moment to take pride in your accomplishments.”
Principal Grosky combined wit and sound advice when he addressed the grads.
“Congratulations from the entire school,” he said, noting that the grads would face challenges going forward,
adding that: “Talent can only take you so far.”
The “unwavering support and advocacy” offered by their parents and the school system has taught the grads how to navigate through life.
“Know that you are capable of doing amazing things,” he said. “Enjoy the milestone with family and friends.”
The grads were then presented their graduation certificates by Vice-Principal Kyle Parsons. Although a small class in numbers, Parsons said the students provided him with “some big laughs,” over the years.
“They are an incredibly hard working group,” he said.
Amanda Cepeda gave the Valedictory Address. “Today, we are gathered here together to reflect on this monumental moment,” she said.
“The senior year has brought us closer as a class,” she noted. “Our song is com-
ing to an end but the melody lingers on.” Cepeda also offered the gratitude of the class to the teachers, parents and others in the community who helped the grads along the way.
Guest speaker Shelley Sinclair told the grads: “This is one of the most important nights of your life.”
She said that each grad “has something unique to offer,” and gave examples of some of the character traits each has learned over time.
The first was a sense of determination when trying to learn mathematics. “Success starts with a determined mind,” she said. Other traits displayed by the grads included having a sharp wit, a sense of humour, honesty, integrity, a commitment to academic learning, strength, kindness and a caring attitude. She told the grads to “face life with quiet determination.”

Vialta Lodge Chatter: celebrating seniors week in June
Marion Cottrell
The beginning of summer! Happy days of warmth, sunshine, new growth and blooms everywhere we look. Add to that the joy of longer daylight hours and that sounds like cause for celebration.
Vialta Lodge has reasons to celebrate with Jeffery Watt on June 1, Bob Fowler on June 9, Lorne Maxwell on June 11, and Loraine Culbert on June 22 as each of their birth dates roll around. Happy Birthday to you from all the other residents and staff.
We welcome Shirley Quattek as a new Vialta tenant. May you feel comfortable and settled very quickly.
The week of June 2 to 8 is a time to “show appreciation for Alberta seniors and all that they contribute to Alberta.” Forty
years ago, in 1986, the late Alice Modin from Strathcona County began a campaign to start a seniors’ day to celebrate and recognize the contributions seniors make to enhance the quality of life in Alberta for seniors. This eventually mushroomed into the first full week of June being designated “Seniors Week.”
Vialta Lodge has two terrific bookings for Seniors Week.
Tuesday, June 3, we will be honoured to have Trevor Baker, a singer/songwriter from Saskatchewan, entertaining us at 1:30 p.m. This is the first time he has been here so let’s fill all the seats and welcome Trevor Baker. There will be a Community Barbeque in honour of Seniors Week on Friday, June 6 In celebration of Father’s Day, Pastor Chris
Koch will be coming to Vialta at 1:30 p.m. on Friday, June 13, to talk about “Life In South Africa.” This will undoubtedly be a very interesting afternoon, thanks to Pastor Chris.
The Spring Raffle draw has been scheduled for Friday, June 13. However, if all the tickets have been sold by June 6, it is possible the draw will take place during the BBQ. So, if you have been intending to purchase tickets from a resident but have not yet done so, please do. The sooner all the tickets are sold, the sooner the draw!
At this time no other events have been confirmed for entertainment at the Lodge. If anything else is booked for the latter part of June, I will let you all know with a second June Chatter column. Happy summer days and keep safe.
Possible measles exposure prompts public health alert
Patricia Harcourt Editor
Alberta health Services issued a public health alert on May 22 due to the potential for measles exposure. A person has been confirmed to have measles in the Central Zone who has been in a public setting while infectious. AHS says additional locations
where there is the possibility of exposure to the illness are possible.
Anyone who has been in the location specified during the times given may have been exposed to measles. The location is the Lamont health Care Centre Emergency Department on May 18 between 8:26 p.m. and 12:36 a.m. (May 19).
Anyone who attended this location during those times who was born in or after 1970 with fewer than two documented doses of measles vaccine may be at risk for developing measles.
AHS advises such individuals to monitor their symptoms for measles and “are strongly encouraged to review their immunization records.”

New community standards bylaw passes 4-1
Patricia Harcourt
Beaver County Council passed a new community standards bylaw by giving second and third readings following a public hearing three weeks ago.
The bylaw passed with one councillor disagreeing and the rest of council supporting it.
Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) opposed the passing of both motions saying the bylaw fails to supply enough detail and clarification about unsightly properties and objected to a one-line lighting regulation that he considered inadequate.
The proposed bylaw had been discussed and reviewed by the Governance and Priorities Committee (GPC) three times before being recommended for approval by council.
The bylaw was also brought to the attention of county residents through three public engagement sessions before being brought to council for approval after a public hearing was held.
The county’s previous bylaws referring to noise and unsightly premises would be repealed once this newer bylaw is passed. The new bylaw incorporates the older bylaws making them redundant.
Reeve Kevin Smook (Division 1) requested a recorded vote for the two readings.
Councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2) made the motion for second reading, after which Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3) spoke about his concerns.
Hrabec referred to the bill as creating “dispute weaponization.” He said there was “so much left out of the bylaw,” which he found to be “over reach-
ing” in ways that made it difficult for him “to decide which parts to support.”
He gave an example of a section that prohibits shining a light on someone else’s property, and noted this issue “is resolved in one sentence…
“On paper it looks simple but it’s just not that simple,” he said. This lack of clarity could cause “unintentional consequences (and) fuel neighbour disputes,” he said.
Hrabec also said he “doesn’t know of any way to control ‘unsightlies,’” referring to unsightly properties. “We never did before so how will a new bylaw do it?”
And, “how do we pick the ones to prosecute by division,” he asked, predicting: “We’ll see an increase in confrontation…with unintended consequences.”
But other councillors believed their new consolidated bylaw was a good move.
“I think we have done an excellent job of putting this bylaw together,” responded Williams. Williams said he talked with bylaw officers in other jurisdictions who said they were “impressed” with the county’s new community standards bylaw, and it may be copied by some of them.
The county has been dealing with “bylaws (that are) all over the place making it difficult to manage,” he said, which is the reason for the current consolidated bylaw.
The county has the responsibility for these bylaws, and the hamlets and subdivisions have to be “treated differently” from the farmland and rural areas.
“If it costs us some money to manage this pro-
gram and hold people accountable, that is our job,” said Williams, while trying to “work with people and educate them…If it costs money that’s what it entails.”
The county’s report to council states: “The 2025 budget includes adequate funding for enforcement of the bylaw.” No specific amount was given.
Councillor Barry Bruce (Division 4) added his support to Williams’ statements.
He said the bylaw could not contain all the different scenarios Hrabec would like, stating: “There are so many different types of personalities and properties...
“There are some who won’t like it,” he said, “but at least we will have a bylaw to allow officials to act.”
Bruce said residents should be able to live in a clean, safe and attractive environment, asking: “Do I want to live beside a hoarder?”
He supported the bylaw, he said, and “not the ones offended by tidiness and safety.”
Reeve Smook said that “subtle changes” had been made to the then proposed community standards bylaw following the community engagement sessions and public hearing.
“Nobody spoke out against the bylaw,” he said,, noting that there would have been “a larger number of people at these events if there had been more people upset over the bylaw.
“I think this bylaw, while not perfect, is a good one,” he said.
Both second and third readings were passed 4-1, with the votes recorded following a request by the reeve.
Council replaces workplace violence and harassment prevention policy
Patricia Harcourt
Beaver County has a new policy for workplace violence and harassment prevention.
The new Policy #HR-033 with its accompanying administrative procedure was introduced by Health and Safety Officer Carla Martin at the regular council meeting of May 21.
The new policy contains changes made to the province’s Occupational health and Safety Code last December. The changes were made to Part 27Violence and Harassment in the Code.
The updates combines the violence and harassment prevention plans into a single plan. In addi-
tion to violence and harassment, the policy will add investigation of complaints.
Also, the prevention plan won’t be reviewed automatically, but only if “an accident indicates a review is necessary,” stated Martin, in her report.
Training will be required “not only initially but also after any revisions are made,” states the new policy. There have also been “minor changes to phrases and wording,” to the policy.
Martin stated that the new policy has been updated to reflect the changes in the provincial OH&S Code.
And Policy #HR-032 Workplace Discrimination
and Harassment Prevention has been incorporated into the policy, “resulting in a consolidated Policy and Administrative Procedure,” she said.
“I think we’ve done an extremely good job,” commented Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3). “It’s a big undertaking…
“It’s been rolled out very well,” he concluded. The motion to accept the new policy was made by Councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2) and successfully passed.
The second motion by Hrabec to rescind the previous policy #032 Workplace Discrimination and Harassment Prevention and accompanying administrative procedure was also passed.

Discussion of Beaver Regional Partnership leads to amend bylaw
Patricia Harcourt
Beaver County Council discussed recommendations concerning the Beaver Regional Partnership (BRP) Agreement at its May 21 regular meeting.
Following the discussions, council passed amendments to the BRP Agreement, which had been proposed by the BRP at its April 15 meeting.
The BRP has also recommended that each participating council in the Beaver Region approve the amended BRP Agreement.
County Council was asked to accept the amended Schedule ‘A’ of the BRP Agreement, and incorporate the amended schedule into the BRP bylaw as another amendment.
Council would do this by passing second and third readings of Bylaw #24-1158 Beaver Regional Partnership.
“The Agreement is attached as a schedule to the BRP Bylaw and, therefore, a motion to amend the bylaw is required before it can be passed,” explained Margaret Jones, general manager of legislative services.
Discussion at county council concerned the issue of allowing groups like Beaver Emergency Services Commission (BESC), Beaver Foundation, and Highway 14 Regional Water Services Commission to participate in the BRP meetings.
BRP has decided it will only ask these partnering groups to come to the meetings when the topics involves their agency.
“Why exclude the groups we partner with,” asked Deputy Reeve Gene Hrabec (Division 3), who serves as board chair for BESC and Beaver Foundation.
Councillor Lionel Williams (Division 2) responded that “most BRP meetings do not involve BESC or the Water Commission.”
He said it “makes sense” not to have these agencies at meetings that “don’t involve them.”
He noted that BRP meetings act in an advisory capacity only, making recommendations to the five councils in the Beaver Region.
“It doesn’t replace council authority,” he said. Any decisions made by municipal councils are then taken back to the BRP.
Hrabec also expressed concern over BRP allowing, in his opinion, for too many closed sessions based on Section 46 of the BRP agreement.
Williams replied that the results of closed sessions “have to go back to councils,” so they are kept informed in any case.
Hrabec said he “wanted to ensure” the agencies would be included when needed. To that, Reeve Smook said that, “the reason that the clause is in there has been addressed. “
He added that BRP, “won’t discuss the issues of the three agencies if they are not at the table… We’ll wait (on the discussion) to invite them.”
Hrabec replied that he was “okay” with the BRP amendments if Williams can assure him that the three agencies in question will be asked to attend any BRP meeting when there are issues that affect them.
Council then passed the necessary amendments and bylaws providing final readings to the amended BRP Agreement Bylaw.
“Once the BRP bylaws are passed by all municipalities in the Beaver Region, the Agreement will govern future BRP meetings,” said Jones.
Update approved for Ryley/Beaver Inter-municipal Development Plan
Patricia Harcourt
Beaver County Council has authorized the updating of the Ryley/Beaver Inter-municipal Development Plan.
County Council made the move at the May 21 meeting, making it subject to approval from the Village of Ryley.
Margaret Jones, manager of legislative services, explained that the IDP between the county and Village of Ryley was approved in 2008. Jones said the IDP was adjusted in 2012 and 2018. Amendments were related to the annexation of Clean Harbors land and its uses in Equity Industrial Park.
“In 2019, when the IDPs were being developed for all the towns and villages, a common consultant ISL Engineering was used,” said Jones, in her report to council. “ISL began work on the Ryley/Beaver IDP but the project was suspended until the village had updated its Municipal Development Plan and Land Use Bylaw.
“The IDP project was never reactivated,” said Jones.
Then in 2024 the county approved an updated Area Structure Plan for the Equity Industrial Park (EIP)
Jones said the Municipal Development Act requires that land use documents support each other. This means that the IDP has to be reviewed to ensure it aligns with the EIP plans, as soon as possible.
“The Beaver Region received funding from the provincial government’s Alberta Community Partnership Grant for IDPs the county developed in 2019.
“Administration is optimistic that the grant can be accessed to fund this project as well,” she said.
Jones asked council to approve its participation in the project now “so that an application can be submitted in a timely manner.”
The level of funding under the grant program is not known, she added, including whether the county and village will be required to cost-share the project.
A motion by county council to approve the recommendation was passed.
The next step will be to advise the Village of Ryley Council of its decision and ask for their partnership going forward.
An IDP is a land use planning document that addresses future land use in an area that is of joint interest to two or more municipalities. It includes future development, including annexations, transportation systems, environmental and other matters.

ATA says 99 per cent of teachers voted to authorize a strike
Leslie Cholowsky Staff Reporter
The Alberta Teacher’s Association put out a press release on Tuesday, May 27, saying that, “With a strike authorization vote of 99 per cent,
Alberta teachers are signalling to the government that they can no longer hold up our crumbling public education system.”
Voting was held between May 22 and 26, and nearly 38,000 teach-
ers cast online ballots during that period, the ATA says.
ATA President Jason Schilling says, “Teachers are standing united in demanding respect and recognition for the challenges they experience
in today’s classrooms. Settling for anything less than tangible solutions will not be tolerated.”
The ATA says crowded and increasingly complex classrooms, coupled with the absence of wage increases that reflect
these realities and ensure that future teachers will choose the profession as a lifelong career, remain a point of contention for Alberta teachers.
The Alberta Teachers’ Association’s Provincial
Executive Council will now determine the next steps, including the possibility of a strike vote, if an acceptable resolution is not reached with the province’s school boards beforehand.

cher welcomed their third child, Drew Elly, last week. She is welcomed home by big sister Dawsyn and brother Leo, and grandparents Brent and Beret Fischer.
We extend our sympathy to George Younker and family after the passing of Lloyd Younker at the age of 80. A service to remember her life was held at Avonglen Church on Monday with interment in Mannville. We were very shocked to hear of the sudden passing of Kyle Matheson on the weekend. We extend our deepest sym-
pathy to his wife Paige and children and to all the Pfisterer and Fischer families.
The following report was submitted by Brooke Lawson: Irma 4-H has been busy with highway clean up recently and mock achievement day was May 16. We also did the family dance which was on May 3 and helped with the Albert Hall Steak Fry. We have our upcoming annual achievement day and sale on June 9. We will have 36 steers to choose from. Come buy one!
