MacDonald expects to solicit input from the community to establish policing goals and priorities, while his personal priorities include traffic safety, reduction of property crime and the targeting of prolific and habitual offenders. MacDonald and his wife Darla love being part of the community of Olds and the surrounding area.

While this report might be all about what happened in 2018, it also represents the culmination of years of passion, progress and community commitment to making our town extraordinary.

igation, and ensuring the information they were looking for was up-to-date and readily available. As always, we are constantly creating connections and it is a privilege for Council to serve our community, and we look forward to engaging with you. - Michael Muzychka

Construction began on the new Rotary Athletic Park of Olds, along with a cemetery expansion and planting of new trees. Each of these projects contributes to the fabric of the overall parks and trail system that our citizens and visitors use daily and take pride in. The Canadian legalization of cannabis took place in 2018, and much time was spent creating and passing bylaws to ensure regulations were ready and in place. Work began on a new website, and we approached citizens to take part in two community engagement groups that would influence an update to the website, focusing on ease of nav-

Municipal Development Plan Under Review Town of Olds Council and Administration are working on the Municipal Development Plan (MDP). The MDP is a document that guides and directs future growth and development in the Town of Olds.

The MDP is put in place to guide and direct all future development within the town, to ensure that it is orderly, economical, beneficial, and balances the environmental, social and economic needs of the community.

The Municipal Development plan went through public consultation and input as part of the process.

The Municipal Development plan was last updated in 2006-2007. 3

Olds Fire Department The Fire Services Team for the Town of Olds reports to the Office of the CAO and consists of a full-time Fire Chief, Administrative Assistant, Fire Prevention Officer, contracted Director of Emergency Management and 40 paid on-call firefighters. The primary focus of the department is to provide residents and businesses in the Town of Olds community with Fire Protection, rescue services, environmental protection, fire prevention services, and with Alberta Health Services - medical co-response. In 2018, the Olds Fire Department responded to 395 incidents varying among motor vehicle collisions (MVC), fires and medical responses.

Wednesday evenings throughout the year are regular training nights with the exception of the summer months, when training is every other Wednesday. Theoretical training is facilitated in the training room located at the Fire Hall, while practical training frequently occurs at the fire training grounds located off 70th street just north of the former solid waste transfer site. This training facility is also used by surrounding fire departments throughout Mountain View County. Some of the training the Olds Fire Department members received last year included: • International Academy for Professional Driving (IAPD) Fire/EMS Emergency Vehicle Operation • Incident Command System (ICS) 1-100 • NFPA 1041 Level 1 Fire Instruction • Blue Card Command

Every year in October, the Olds Fire Department hosts a Fire Prevention Open House for the residents of Olds and surrounding areas. They also offer tours of the Fire Hall to local students. When the firefighters aren’t at their primary occupations or with their families, they can be seen volunteering their time in the community and other causes/events such as the Annual Terry Fox Run, Wellspring Firefighter Stair Climb Challenge, and other various events. The Olds Fire Department Bucket Challenge supported the Mountain View Food Bank, Chinook Arch Victims Services and Olds & District Christmas Angels by raising $14,151.00 and 1200 lbs of food. 4

Emergency Management Training Local municipal government plays a central role in Emergency Management. With anticipated amendments to the provincial Emergency Management Act in the fall of 2018, the Town of Olds proactively conducted a review of its Emergency Response Program to ensure the Town would meet new legislative requirements. As part of the review, the Mountain View Regional Emergency Response Plan was reviewed and updated. The Town of Olds created a site specific Emergency Response Plan to ensure mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery plans are current and comprehensive to support the Town in the event of a disaster. This included a risk assessment of hazards throughout the Town to ensure there are adequate resources to deal with any disaster, either through the use of the Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff and equipment, contracted agencies or mutual aid partners. The Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emergency Operations Center was reconfigured and the Alberta First Responder Radio Communications System (AFRCS) was acquired to support Fire, Municipal Enforcement and Emergency Response efforts. Council members and staff received training throughout the year from the province. Through the support of the Alberta Emergency Management Agency grant, a table-top and full scale exercise are scheduled for 2020.

Weed Control

The Town of Olds continues to spray to control dandelions within town greenspaces and parks. This is done both spring and fall as weather allows.

Power Outage Causes Water Pump Station Fires - July 30, 2018 On Monday, July 30, 2018 at approximately 7:50 pm the Olds Fire Department was dispatched to a report of smoke coming from a Town infrastructure building at 4502 46 Avenue. There was a major storm taking place at the time and the situation resulted from the electrical activity as a result of that storm. Upon arrival, crews found that one of the Diesel fire pumps that run during power outages or in high demand when fire hydrants are in use, had failed and ignited. Approximately 20 minutes later Town Staff identified that the South station pump engine had also failed and was actively burning. Fire Crews redeployed and extinguished the fire quickly but the building and pumps experienced significant damage due to fire. Water service was disrupted to the entire Town while the power was out, but temporary water service was restored quickly through quick response by Utilities staff and local contractors. Town of Olds Emergency Management took pre-emptive action to notify facilities such as the hospital and seniors lodges. The situation was closely monitored by the Director of Emergency Management. Fortis Alberta worked through the night restoring power and focussed on the Town of Olds, then moved outward to the rural areas as power was out over a large area. At approximately 2:00 a.m. the South Pump Station had basic power and one electric pump was able to run. The first Pump Station suffered smoke damage and once power was restored was able to function. It took 9 months before all equipment and repairs were completed. An action plan is in place to avoid future incidents.
