Letters to the editor
The Morinville Detachment is offering up some Halloween tricks to ensure the real treat this year is safety. There are some simple tips to remember before your little ghouls and goblins head out to collect their candy loot. […]
Upon reading the letter from C. White, my first reaction was that the comments were a total exaggeration. I am sure Cardiff Road is the most police patrolled road in the universe, especially on holidays or weekends when unsuspecting visitors might be travelling to Cardiff or the golf course or park (i.e. photo radar at the South Glens entrance at 8 a.m.) Easter Sunday morning or on the days of the Cardiff Garage Sale.

On Thursday, October 15, 2015, Morinville Town Council hosted neighbouring municipalities and regional partners at the Morinville Community Cultural Centre to discuss the Arena/Multi-‐Use Recreation Facility project. […]
I am at a loss with regard the imminent risks that many drivers pose on Cardiff Road due to their refusal to slow down. I reside right on this rural busy road, and while the speed limit solar signs are obvious, they are largely ignored. Rush hour times are that of the noise and speeds of a highway with commercial vehicles and commuters clearly off the speed limit, endangering every resident and their families, with blatant disregard. […]
I read with interest the editorial about the proposed Youth Council Bylaw. I think that if youth had more of a voice they would feel more welcome, accepted and valued by their Mayor and Council. If youth thought that their local government cared about their problems and concerns, they would be more inclined to take pride in their community. […]
Well, after 15 years of participating on, and final running The Morinville Youth Justice Committee (MYJC), it’s proverbial door finally closed on Oct 5, 2015, by this writer Mr. Mike Cue. The MYJC started up, with much fanfare, in the Morinville Town Council, in September of 2000, with approximately 14 volunteers (and this writer) in attendance. […]
The Morinville and District Chamber of Commerce invites all residents to attend the Federal election forum held on September 30, 2015 from 6:30-8:30pm at the Morinville Community Cultural Centre located at 9502-100 Ave in Morinville. […]
Morality, Ethics and Politics are interrelated. Scandals and unethical behaviors are the major reasons parties in power are thrown out of office regardless of their track record. Abortion and the Carbon Tax are some basic issues that the four major parties are dodging and by so doing are showing a lack of moral integrity. […]
On Tuesday, September 15, 2015, the Town of Morinville Council passed a resolution to award the Architectural & Professional Services contract to Architecture | Tkalcic Bengert (Arch|TB) for the Town of Morinville Recreation Project. […]
I would like to thank those on Council who supported this session, Mr. Norton, ITS and Mr. [David]Schaefer for the presentation of technology utilized and available for traffic enforcement. It was instructive and helpful to be able to see and touch the equipment and have questions answered by all parties available last night. While not a huge turnout, it was nice to see approximately 20 people come out to get a better understanding of what is being used and what is available. […]
The Sturgeon Recreation Facility Citizen Group is disappointed that the Council and Administration of Morinville has chosen to make a major decision without formalizing partnerships within the region. […]
Editor:
It’s time to help replenish the cupboards at Morinville Food Bank. We believe families helping families is the quickest way to do that!

I know that I was not alone in my horror in seeing the washed up body of a three year old child on the Turkish Shores that occurred last week. There is just one thing that is more horrid than this photo; and that is the response of Prime Minister Harper to the people of Canada – and the world. In the interviews that I heard, Stephen Harper stated that Canada is doing more than any of the G Eight countries to relieve the situation in relation to the Syrian refugees. All Canadians know that this is a misrepresentation of reality! […]
As many of you have heard, Alberta’s new Agriculture Minister has announced plans to extend Occupational Health and Safety legislation to farmers.
The announcement came with no legal details or timeline, or even an explanation of how the policy shift would impact family farms across Alberta. Rather, it seems this decision was made without speaking to farmers at all. […]
I have read with interest the article on photo radar on Cardiff Road
I have been in the transportation business for over 40 years and this is one of the most cash cow situations I have ever seen. […]
Dear Mr. Schaefer, Director of Corporate Operations:
It’s time for action! For more than five years, we have been shown through the photo radar quarterly reports that Cardiff Road at/near 94th Street has a speeding problem. You are absolutely correct to point out that the design of this road (e.g. narrow and no shoulders) makes it dangerous for our conventional law enforcement officers to enforce the speed limits. The growth of South Glens and Cardiff over the last five years has resulted in making Cardiff Road busier all the time. Since the road has never been upgraded to reflect the growth factor, we all recognize the problems. […]
