No Council Meeting This Week


Changes to the Municipal Government Act

Most of you will remember that LSARA has had the occasion to put forward a petition and a few other communications to the Municipal Government. The Act itself is law. It is how Municipalities must operate. It governs everything from how an election runs in a County, to identifying the duties of a Councillor or Elected Official. It also regulates how and when Council Meetings are to be advertised.

County Ratepayer’s Association calls FOUL over FOIP bill


LSARA feels that it is prudent at this time for us to respond to the latest article "County Ratepayer’s Association calls FOUL over FOIP Bill" in the Mayerthorpe Freelancer November 7, 2017.  The reporter who wrote the article is no longer with the paper, but Joseph Quigley did conduct the interview.

LSARA has been patiently waiting for our FOIP requests to be addressed. We have also been affording the new council of 2017 (some old some new) and Administration the opportunity to get in the swing of Council.

WHO IS LSARA?

LSARA IS YOU AND ME! 

PROUD RESIDENTS OF LAC STE. ANNE COUNTY WHO CARE WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTY! 

LSARA is a condensed version of our registered society name "Lac Ste Anne and Communities Ratepayers Association". We are a dedicated group of volunteers that identified a need to present issues in the County of Lac Ste Anne as we understand them. We believe it is in all our best interests to ensure all Ratepayers and other potentially affected community members know the Hot Topic items, understand them and can effectively respond to them.

Perleeese… tell me that we are not going down this road again – wasting more money!!

Perleeese… tell me that we are not going down this road again – wasting more money!! 

By David Chawner Nov 2, 2017

The new council hadn’t even been sworn in, but they’ll have to sort out the mess, because some-one in the County Office thought that it would be a great idea to conduct an “experiment” and test the use of road grindings from Hwy 37 as an alternative road topping in the sub-divisions just as the forecast was for Fall/Winter weather – snow?? rain?? cold temperatures??… sound familiar for late October??
