Councillor Jane Stroud’s Update
I wanted to give residents an update on some RMWB projects going forward in
Gregoire Lake Estates, Anzac, Janvier and Conklin. The plan is for construction
for high-speed internet (fibre optic), to start in 2022. The Rural Water and Sewer
Service Connection Plan has started for Janvier and Conklin. The connection
plan for Anzac and Gregoire Lake Estates should start in June of 2022.
Please note that the June 2022 dates are tentative at this time and may be
revised following a review at the conclusion of the 2021 construction season.
The paving of roads and walking paths in Anzac and Conklin will continue.
Egress roads will be built in Janvier and Anzac. Construction is scheduled to start in 2023.

In May, I put forth a motion for Mayor Scott to invite provincial officials to discuss the Keyera Project,
and the impact of the project to Highway 881 and the railroad running through Conklin. The Mayor’s
office informed Council that Minister McIver, MLA Laila Goodrige and MLA Tany Yao would meet with
us. However, a further notice was received indicating that the provincial officials have since declined
meeting with us.

This term, Council’s strategic plan includes working on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls
to Action, Advocate for Rural and Indigenous Communities, Indigenous Consultation, and Inclusion and
Partnerships with rural communities.

Some progress has been made in Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) initiatives
including mandatory RMWB training for all staff, a United Nations Declaration on the Rights of
Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) workshop for RMWB Senior Leaders, a TRC sharing Circle, the
formation of the Reconciliation Advisory Circle (RAC), and supporting Indigenous-led initiatives and
projects such as the McMurray Métis Cultural Centre. RMWB motions passed include the flying of the
Métis flag at the Anzac Firehall and the Placemaking area, and the placement of a sign on Highway 63
and 881 recognizing Treaty 8 and unceded Métis territory.

Title: Help create a litter-free Wood Buffalo. Register
for the 2021 Community Cleanup today!

Warmer weather is in the air throughout the Regional
Municipality of Wood Buffalo and it’s time to cleanup our
region. The 2021 Community Cleanup Campaign launches
May 4 and runs through to October 28, giving us all the opportunity to pitch in and beautify our region.

The RMWB is once again able to provide residents with bags, gloves, and picker sticks to assist in your cleanup efforts.
To make this year’s process safer and easier, we’re encouraging groups of 10 or fewer to register through your local
Rural Contact Office by calling 780-334-2298. RMWB staff will register your group and cleanup location while also
coordinating a time to pick up with materials from the Rural Contact Office.

Check out our Community Cleanup map before choosing your potential area.
Please remember to follow local public health requirements and provincial guidelines with your group.

When your cleanup is finished, please contact your local Rural Contact Office to coordinate the return of the materials.

We encourage residents to share their community cleanup efforts on social media. Share your posts with others by using
the hashtag “#cleanupRMWB”.

Throughout the campaign, we encourage residents to visit rmwb.ca/cleanup to see which sites have already been
cleaned in their region. Thank you for doing your part to keep our region clean!

Residents with Private Cisterns and Septage Systems

The RMWB would like to remind residents that maintenance of private water and sanitary systems are the
responsibility of the homeowner. Alberta Health Services (AHS) recommends that systems be tested twice a
year and cisterns cleaned and disinfected once per year.

Septage tank maintenance
Septage tanks also require proper inspection and maintenance. Here are a few points to keep in mind:

   •   Have your septic tank checked annually for buildup that can reduce your tank’s efficiency. You may
       need to have your tank pumped by a professional sewage hauler every couple of years to ensure
       proper operation.
   •   Do not enter your septic tank. During the treatment process, sewage gives off dangerous gases. Always
       hire a professional for tank maintenance tasks.
   •   Do not allow livestock, vehicles, or any type of pathway to cross over your disposal field at any time.
       This practice helps prevent pipe breakage, soil compaction and excessive freezing due to compaction
       during the winter months.
   •   Keep your treatment system area well-maintained. Trim grasses and other vegetation short.
   •   Always consult your operations manual provided by the septage tank installer for specific maintenance
       guidance.

Water quality
All water supplied to residents comes from the water treatment plant and has been tested to ensure it meets
quality standards and is safe to drink. The Municipality follows rigorous safety and quality regulations,
including regularly submitting samples to an AHS laboratory.

Should residents note a concern with their drinking water, please follow the steps AHS recommends such as
testing the water, ensuring maintenance has been completed, and conducting visual inspections to rule out
abnormalities. Should these steps not result in resolution, please contact PULSE at 780-743-7000 or 1-800-
973-9663.

                                                                                                              12

To better understand the odours in our region, the Wood Buffalo Environmental Association
(WBEA) is asking community members to check out our COMP app and share information
about the odours you are experiencing.

The WBEA launched the Community Odour Monitoring Program (COMP) and the COMP App
so people could anonymously submit odour observations and track odour events in the
RMWB. The collected information is then compared to the ambient air quality parameters
measured at the WBEA’s air monitoring stations to determine if there is a relationship
between regional odours and air quality. Submitted observations can be found at
comp.wbea.org, and findings are reported to the public in an annual report. The 2020 COMP
Annual Report can be found here.

Please share your odour observations on the COMP app (available for iOS and Android
devices) and help us better understand the odours in our region!

                                                                                            19
