Market promotes young
entrepreneurs and local artisans
LORENZO GAVILAN VARGAS
Times Reporter
The third annual SUNsational Sum-
mer Market took place on July 17 on an
acreage near Standard.
Shawna Borg and her mother Kim
Grant had the idea to host the market
after meeting fellow aspiring artisans
through DIY classes.
“Through those classes we started
getting in touch with a lot of local arti-
sans and we just thought hosting a mar-
ket would be a fun way to not only sup-
port local but shine a light on all of our
local artisans who may not typically get
out there in the community,” said Borg.
One set of entrepreneurs specifical-
ly may not get out in the community,
and that is young people. Borg says
the market offers great experience to

LEELA SHARON AHEER
Chestermere-Strathmore MLA
Congratulations to all Albertans! We
are the first province in Canada to lift all
health restrictions and fully reopen the
economy for all families and businesses
because of your diligence. Brighter days
are definitely ahead.
I want to let you know that I am here
to stay. I am a founding member of the
United Conservative Party, a movement
that saw so many diverse and divided
conservatives and amazing Albertans
come together to provide this province
with hope and prosperity. Our value
lies in our diversity no matter where
you come from, the colour of your skin,
who you pray to, or who you love.
I want to thank the Premier for the
privilege of serving the people of Al-
berta; there is no greater privilege than
serving the interests of the people who
elected me to govern. I am humbled
and full of gratitude and pride for the
many accomplishments in our ministry,
and I wish the new ministers great suc-
cess as they begin their work.
I intend to continue to work hard on
behalf of my constituents and all people
in Alberta.
Resilience is in our blood, passion is
sidelines; we get to work.
As always, we love to hear from you.
(Leela Sharon Aheer is the MLA Elect
for Chestermere-Strathmore)
Town recovery
Continued from Page 1
Mayor Pat Fule also expressed opti-
mism regarding the report, stating that
overall, 2021 has already been a dra-
matically better year for the town than
the previous year.
“I think there’s a lot of optimism and
I think many municipalities in Alberta
have weathered the storm … the worst
is over, we’re coming through the COV-
ID-19 restrictions, and we’re looking
ahead to some good things,” he said.
According to the report, the town’s
recovery plan included four “pillars”
of which local recovery will be based
around. These include external market-
ing and tourism development, business
engagement and support, policy devel-
opment, and community engagement.
As part of the external marketing seg-
ment, the town is working on signifi-
cant rebranding efforts.
“As a council, we’ve been looking at
rebranding and looking at a vision for
the town and there’s been a real push
to try to create something that will
stand out as far as— what ‘what does
Strathmore mean, what is our brand?
What is our logo, what are we trying to
look [at] as a vision?’” explained Fule.
“We want to be part of the excitement
of moving Strathmore into the future,
but still honoring the legacy of the past,
and still looking at how to take farming
and ranching into the future.”
Fule added the town has been con-
sulting with former MLA Doug Griffith
to develop the rebrand, and thus far,
no additional resources have been re-
quested to be dedicated to the project
from the town’s budget.

Siksika COVID-19 vaccination clinic met
with positive output and community feedback
JOHN WATSON
Local Journalism initiative Reporter
Chief Ouray Crowfoot described the overall op-
erations of the COVID-19 vaccination clinic on
Siksika Nation to be going “swimmingly,” as he
commended the operating team for their work.
According to Crowfoot, much of the feedback
the clinic has been getting since its activation has
been positive, both from local community mem-
bers and surrounding municipalities.
“As far as I know, a lot of the feedback I’m
getting is that a lot of the neighboring communi-
ties and a lot of our municipalities that surround
Siksika are happy that we opened the doors and
are very thankful for the opportunity,” he said.
CEO of Siksika Health Services, Tyler White,
said he estimates around 2,000 doses have been
administered to rural residents in the local area,
as well as around 23,000 COVID-19 tests having
been completed through the clinic.
“We’ve been active and we’re so glad that we’re
able to support the rural communities around
Siksika,” he said. “It’s more than just the vaccine.
We’re building relationships and I think creating
awareness and understanding, and also provid-
ing education at the same time.
White estimates 90 per cent or more of individ-
uals in the area who are 60 years of age or older
have been vaccinated through the clinic.
He added the team has a mobile clinic going
Work to discover unmarked graves underway
JOHN WATSON
Local Journalism initiative Reporter
According to Chief Ouray Crowfoot,
work has already begun looking for
unmarked graves on Siksika land, re-
lating to former residential and agency
schools.
Crowfoot said the work that’s being
done is a very sacred process which he
wants to ensure is done properly, so as
to honor the victims of the facilities.
“Those kids gave their lives … we’re
not looking for hashtags or any ‘we
found this many’ … we had about eight
schools, there were two residential
schools, and the rest were what they
called agency schools,” he said. “It’s go-
ing to be a huge undertaking. The pro-
cess has already begun, but we’re not
going to be [announcing body counts]
… we’re not going to.”
He added when and if the Office of
the Chief and Council Government of
Siksika Nation decide to release any in-
formation, it will be at their own pace,
and when it is deemed appropriate.
“This is a sacred process, and we’re
trying to give those kids respect and
the proper protocols need to be done,”
he said.
Crowfoot said he expects scans, exca-
vations, research and other associated
work to continue over a long term due
to the scale of the project and amount
of land that will have to be looked at.
“It’s not going to be like some of
these other nations that are smaller …
we’re talking months, possibly even a
year or more, the work that we have
before us at Siksika,” said Crowfoot.
“We’ve got such a large land base, we
have a lot more land to cover … [it’s] a

going to be well organized and well run.”
As of July 19, the stationary clinic was tran-
sitioned out of the Deerfoot Sportsplex, to the
Siksika Health and Wellness Centre.
The move was done in order to open up the fa-
cility to sports and recreation again, as COVID-19
restrictions have lifted in Alberta.
“We’re essentially giving it back so the com-
munity can have sports programs and activities,”
said White.
“We’ll continue to be diligent and continue to

He also noted specifically he did not wish to imply that
other nations were not undertaking similar work that Siksika
is beginning to administrate, nor did he mean to belittle or
deride the work or announcements from other nations.
In an open letter dated May 30, Chief and Council of Sik-
sika Nation called on the federal government with individual
First Nations to launch individual investigations into all 139
Indian residential schools noted across Canada.
Though he did not specify what was noted, Crowfoot said
the federal government had responded to the open letter,
and are working with Siksika Nation for their process.
Crowfoot added Siksika Nation intends to make full use
of the provincially available grant previously announced by
Premier Jason Kenney on June 23.
The $8 million program allows for grants of up to $150,000
to be issued to aid in the work to discover unmarked graves,
and honor the victims of residential schools.
“We’re going to take advantage of all resources that are
available. At the same time, we’re meeting to flesh out a com-
prehensive work plan,” said Crowfoot.

regulated by the province and
anyone between the ages of 16-64
requires a license.
You can purchase a recreational

The relay event is a recent addition to the Calgary Stampede and is some-
thing the team hopes will become a regular competition at the annual fes-
tival.
Siksika relay team joins Calgary
Stampede event showcase
JOHN WATSON
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
The Pretty Young Man relay team
made their debut appearance at the
Calgary Stampede last week, show-
casing the sport alongside four other
teams.
The team has been operating since
2019 and had a singular full season to-
gether before the onset of COVID-19
put the world on pause.
Jason Doord, who owns the horses
and manages the team, said the sport
has a growing community, with com-
petitions popping up all over western
Canada and the United States.
The Pretty Young Man team also con-
sists of Tyler Leather (Warrior), Jarrett
Pretty Young Man (Mugger and team
Captain), Brooker Pretty Young Man
(Setter), Rufus Pretty Young Man Jr
(Back Holder), and Rufus Pretty Young
Man Sr., who trains and doctors the
horses.
Doord added each team is unique
in their uniform regalia, and how they
paint their horses.
“All the teams paint their horses in
their own style. I like to put some of
my teepee designs on my horse,” he
said. “Some of the paint will reflect …
certain symbols, certain stripes to rep-
resent when they go buffalo hunting,
there’s some paintings so the horse
runs safely … for safe return, so the
horse can see, [etc].”
The Pretty Young Man team makes
a point to paint the initials ZB on the
shoulders of their horses to honour the
late son of their primary sponsor, Gor-
don Red Crow.
Similarly, the Calgary Stampede first
began showcasing relays in 2019.
The sport involves a team of four
working with three horses throughout
a heat. Each team has one rider who
will challenge a course riding bareback,
while the rest of the team works to con-
trol the horses at the start line.

After each lap, the Warrior ( Jockey)
will jump from one horse to another
and take off again.
A team’s Setter is responsible for pre-
paring the next horse for the switch,
the Mugger will try to catch the pre-
vious horse from the Warrior after the
switch, and the Back Holder manages
the resting horse.
Hazards through the duration of the
race include the risk of the warrior fall-
ing off his horse at any time, or the
horses may become confused and try
to run in uncontrolled directions.
Red Crow said he agreed to sponsor
the team for $5,000 this season to help
them cover the costs of travel and oper-
ating after they approached him to ask
for help.
“They did approach me because they
are involved with the Siksika Buffalo’s

was sponsoring them and I decided to
go into more of a cultural side, which
(is) Indian Relay and (it) just benefited
my company more,” he said. “Now is
the first time I’ve been approached by
a cultural sport.”
Doord explained the sport is cultur-
ally significant, as Siksika have always
held close relationships with horses.
“We’ve always been known as the
horse people,” said Doord. “We con-
nect with the horse. This way, we like
to showcase the athletic ability of the
warriors (who) ride the horses.”
He added he hopes the relay, which
dates back over a century, will become
a recognized competition at the Stam-
pede with more teams coming out to
compete, and more heats for racers to
participate in.

Oral use of anti-inflammatory drugs can

the skin. They work well with pain that is
localized to one area and helpful in osteo-
arthritis, diabetic neuralgia and the severe
pain that can linger after a bout of shingles.
Hiccups are usually short-lived and usual-
ly go away by themselves. There are many
home remedies that have lasted through the
years. Examples include breathing into a

ful of sugar on the tongue and swallowing
slowly. Pulling our the tongue for a half

hiccups carry on for hours or days, see your
doctor.
Monk fruit extract is a calorie-free sweet-

Cultural collective promoting local fine art initiatives

LORENZO GAVILAN VARGAS
Times Reporter
The Vault Cultural Collective cele-
brated its soft opening on July 16. The
collective is made up of Arts on 817,
Strathmore Children’s Choir, Strath-
more Performing Arts Festival, Strath-
more Theatre Players’ Guild, Western
District Historical Society, Wheatland
Society of Arts and the Vault Empori-
um.
The Vault has been in the works for
almost a year, with the first meetings
taking place in August of 2020, accord-
ing to Chair Carolyn Steeves. She says
the goal is to make local art as acces-
sible as it can be.
“Our goal is to basically be a one
stop shop for all things cultural in
Strathmore.”
The idea of the Vault came as a result
from the long history of the building in
which it is located. The building at 136
2nd Ave was constructed around 1909
for a local branch of the Union Bank
of Canada, and later was home to the
Strathmore Standard, a now-defunct
newspaper.
The building received a complete
renovation from top to bottom before
it became the Standard One Stop Shoe
Shop. After the shoe shop closed, the
building owner and town council made
a decision on Sept. 16, 2020, for the
building to host a downtown base for
local art, music, culture, and history.
“Our non-profit association, The
Vault Cultural Collective, is the ten-
ant of the building for five years,” said
Steeves.
The Vault is planning on holding
events in the building. Currently on
show are various art pieces from the
Wheatland Society of Art and a number
of consignment items from local arti-

Wheatland County to consider large scale wind energy development

JOHN WATSON
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Wheatland County has scheduled a public hearing
to gather feedback regarding a potential land rezon-
ing from agricultural to energy sector.
Bylaw 202114, officially being referred to as the
Wheatland Wind Project (WWP), received first read-
ing during the regular council meeting on July 13.
Due to the nature of the project, council will hear
public opinion and how it may affect ratepayers be-
fore proceeding with the rezoning and development.
County Reeve Amber Link explained during the
public hearing, impacts to ratepayers that were not
considered by the Alberta Utilities Commission will
be heard.
“We are extremely limited in what we can consider
during that public hearing, and what we can hear,”
she said. “The Alberta Utilities Commission has ju-
risdiction over renewable energy development, and
because this development already has an approval
under AUC.”
The redesignated land, if the bylaw were to pass,
would total roughly 471 acres in order to allow for
the development of a Wind Energy Conversion Sys-
tem (WECS) approximately 122.4 megawatts in size.
The land located 20 to 30 km southeast of Drum-
heller would house 24 turbines, a substation, an op-
erations and maintenance facility, and any associated
infrastructure.
According to the report for first reading received by
council, WWP received AUC approvals in September
2018, noting that “approval of the project is in the
public interest, having regard to the social, economic,
and other effects of the project, including its effect on
the environment.”
Link added before a decision is made on the devel-
opment, council will weigh both the advantages of
constructing local renewable energy sources, as well
as any potential impacts.
“There can be pros and cons to any development
… some of the things that municipalities consider is
just things like even how it impacts the sight lines of
the county,” she said.
“I have heard from ratepayers where development
like this can contribute to sustainability of family
farms as well, because it can diversify their income.”
Link explained there are already several wind tur-
bines in the area of the county where development
is proposed, and WWP would contribute to that de-
velopment.
She further explained now that a public hearing
has been set for the discussion before second read-
ing, council will not be engaging with ratepayers, the
public, or the developer until after the meeting.
“The purpose for that is we want all councillors to
be considering exactly the same information when
we hold the public hearing, and when we’re consid-
ering second and third reading,” she said.
The public hearing is scheduled for Aug. 24.

Local landmark to be featured during Historic Calgary Week

JOHN WATSON
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
As part of Historic Calgary Week
– hosted by the Western District and
Chinook Historical Societies – “Supply
Farm No. 1” will be featured as the top-
ic of presentation during the event.
Historic Calgary Week is an annual
event that highlights the history of the
Calgary area and the significance of
certain locations.
This year, an in-person presentation
on the supply farm in Strathmore is in-
cluded in the event programming.
This marks the first occasion the
Western District Historical Society will
be joining the Chinook Historical So-
ciety to take part in Historic Calgary
Week.
According to presenter, Bruce Klaiber,
the presentation will mostly be about
the history of the site why it became a
notable landmark.
“We’re hoping that his history buffs
in particular will come and look at it,
but hopefully, the word is going to
spread on how important this location
and how important Strathmore was, to
the early history of the area,” he said.
Klaiber explained the Canadian Pa-
cific Railway was originally meant to be
constructed farther north towards Ed-
monton instead of being as close to the
49th parallel as it is, running through
the Palliser’s Triangle.
The area had initially been deemed a
desert and was unattractive to settlers
and customers. Eventually the federal
government negotiated with the CPR
to irrigate the desert and promote ag-
riculture.
This agreement birthed the Western,
Central, and Eastern irrigation districts
between Medicine Hat and Calgary.
Once settlers started shipping in and
buying land, it was quickly discovered
most people didn’t understand the lo-
cal agriculture or didn’t have experi-
ence with agriculture in general.
To remedy this, the CPR built the
demonstration farm “Supply Farm No.
1” in 1908, which for a time came to
have the largest dairy herd in North
America.
Klaiber’s presentation will be going
more into detail about the history of
the farm and the role it played in devel-
oping the area.
He also gave credit to Strathmore
resident Rob Pirie, who is a member of
both societies for suggesting that the
barn be featured in Historic Calgary
Week.
As the presentation is an in-person
event, organizers with Historic Calgary
week have limited the amount of peo-
ple they will allow to take part on site.
“We’ve got some people that are reg-
istered, but the attendance is going to
be limited to about 35 individuals,” said
Klaiber.
The presentation will be taking place
at the Canadian Pacific Railway Supply
Farm No. 1 in Strathmore on July 25
from 1:30-2:30 p.m. Those who are in-
terested are being asked to register on-
line prior to attending the event.

County to support replacement of

BF 9315, of 11 Bridges of Wayne
JOHN WATSON
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
Wheatland County will be supporting
the replacement of Bridge 11, of the 11
Bridges of Wayne, following a request
for financial assistance from the Town
of Drumheller.
The existing bridge was originally
constructed in 1931, and is a 30.5 me-
ter steel pony truss superstructure with
a timber wearing surface.
The most recent inspections of the
bridge, completed in November 2018,
revealed significant section loss of the
steel trusses due to corrosion. Due to
this, the weight limit on the bridge has
been restricted, and it has been de-
clared to have reached the end of its
service life.
Bridge 11, or BF 9315, crosses the
Rosebud River, located at the end of
Highway 10X, just south of Wayne.
Administration had identified the
bridge to be of strategic importance, as
it serves as one of the only points of ac-
cess to the community of Wayne.
Though technically located within
the corporate limits of the Town of
Drumheller, it is a key access point for
many Wheatland ratepayers, according
to council.
“We do have a number of ratepay-
ers [who] do use that bridge … it’s an
important city access for those ratepay-
ers,” said Wheatland County Reeve Am-
ber Link.
The total cost of the bridge replace-
ment will be approximately $3.2 mil-
lion. The Town of Drumheller will be
receiving a grant from the Province
of Alberta to cover 75 per cent of the
costs, totaling just over $2.4 million.
Wheatland County was asked by
the Town of Drumheller to cover
$120,487.50, which equates to 15 per
cent of the $803,250 funding gap.
Council decided to fully fund the re-
quest, against administration’s recom-
mendation to only fund $40,000 of the
project.
Link explained the decision was
made for purposes including maintain-
ing a good relationship with Drum-
heller, ensuring the project was able
to move forward, and supporting local
tourism.
“In the grand scheme of our budget,
it isn’t necessarily [a large investment],
but of course, one of our highest pri-
orities this year has been [finding] fiscal
efficiencies and looking for ways to cut
our budget,” she said. “The risk I saw
with that … is that if we weren’t willing
to contribute as a municipality, there
[was] the possibility that the Town of
Drumheller wouldn’t go ahead with the
repair either, and then you’re losing SELECT SUITES AVAILABLE • Three freshly prepared meals daily

Rosebud blossoming all summer

LAUREEN F. GUENTHER
Times Contributor
From concerts to take-away meals to shopping,
Rosebud offers enjoyment and entertainment all sum-
mer.
Outdoor concerts are being performed on the fes-
tival stage next to the Opera House every weekend.
Concert patrons are seated in physically distanced
spaces, with up to four people per space.
The concerts, sponsored by Rosebud Theatre, Rose-
bud School of the Arts (RSA), Rosebud Chamber
Music Festival and Rosebud Festival Society, will be
moved into Rosebud Church in inclement weather.
“(These concerts are) a fabulous way for us to con-
nect with the community at large,” said Paul Muir,
RSA’s Executive Director. “It’s a great line-up of guest
artists coming in, some (from) close to home, some
further afield. I know it’s going to be a fabulous sum-
mer.”
The concerts feature diverse musical genres. Rose-
bud Chamber Music Festival performed the first con-
certs, July 10-11, and again on July 17-18.
John Wort Hannam, Juno-nominated and Canadian
Folk Music Award-winning, will perform July 24.
Calgary-based “old-fashioned rock and roll band”
Peter and the Wolves will perform July 31.
Singer-songwriter Justine Vandergrift, whose coun-
try-soul music has roots in hymns and folk songs, will
perform Aug. 7.
Rosebud and Alberta favorites Lewis and Royal,
combining wit, humour and soulful music, will per-
form Aug. 14-15.
Jenn Beaupre, with a bold, agile, and eclectic vocal
style, will perform Aug. 21.
Calgary-based duo, Two Late to the Party, will per-
form Aug. 28.
The concerts aren’t the only thing happening in
Rosebud.
Takeaway food, with hot entrees, cold snacks and
drinks, is available in Rosebud Mercantile, Thursdays
to Sundays, noon to 6 p.m.
July 17 and Aug. 14, Rosebud Art Collective is host-
ing outdoor Artisan Markets, featuring artwork in pot-
tery, paint, metal, wood, and other media.
Saturdays, Rosebud Country Inn hosts the Rosebud
Country Market, selling fruit, vegetables, and fresh-
baked goods. The Inn also offers pie and light lunch-
es on Wednesdays to Sundays.
Rosebud County Goods and Co. gift shop is open
every Saturday. Rosebud Museum is open Wednes-
days to Sundays and offers ice cream treats.
The new Banks and Braes, and Rosebud’s other B
and B’s, are open. The iconic windmill will also soon
welcome guests as an Airbnb.
Sundays at 10:30 a.m., Rosebud Church holds a
church service on the festival stage.
Online, all summer, RSA offers a free, hour-long
concert performed by RSA faculty and graduates.
The concert includes RSA graduate Natalie Gauthi-
er’s singing “Oh for the Children,” a response to Ca-
nadians’ sorrow as we discover unmarked graves at
former Indian Residential Schools. Muir called it an
“anthem” that “encapsulates so much of what we are
dealing with as a culture.”
The concert also includes an invitation to partici-
pate in RSA’s summer fundraiser, Rosebud Alive!
“Rosebud patrons and donors and supporters are
the most supportive people around,” Muir said. “They
are sending a message, saying Rosebud must remain
alive.”
This spring, RSA donors met a matching goal of
$15,000, raising a total of $30,000. This summer, an-
other $25,000 in matching funds has been offered,
and Muir is confident RSA donors will meet this chal-
lenge too.
“All of us feel so encouraged and so inspired by
people’s generosity,” he said, “that we just feel like,
yes, Rosebud is going to live and we can reach this
goal this summer.”
RSA and Rosebud Theatre also look toward the fall.
RSA will begin another school year of in-person class-
es and is still accepting new students.
Being a student at RSA, Muir said, is “all about
connecting to other people … you will (also) have a

Town introduces formal election sign bylaw

JOHN WATSON
Local Journalism Initiative Reporter
To help organize and keep campaigns
fair during the upcoming municipal
election, the Town of Strathmore is im-
plementing an election sign bylaw to
clearly dictate rules on the topic.
According to Director of Strategic and
Administrative Services, Kara Rusk, the
bylaw is meant to essentially represent
housekeeping efforts for clarification,
rather than imposing notable restric-
tions on candidates.
“This bylaw should help answer ques-
tions we receive about elections signs
during each municipal election,” she
explained. “Our new bylaw sets clear
guidelines that help candidates share
their messages while keeping sightlines
along roads safe.”
She added to her knowledge, there
had not been any notable problems re-
garding the placement of election signs
in the past, and if there were grievanc-
es, signs were quickly relocated with-
out incident.
“Strathmore is a very respectful com-
munity. When signs have been identi-
fied as a concern in the past candidates
have moved them when our team has
reached out to them,” she said.
Mayor Pat Fule added a particular
topic of note, which was discussed in
council last week, regarding how far
signs had to be placed from traffic in-
tersections, as well as what the accept-
able size and height of signs could be.
He regarded the rules put in place
in those respects are there in part for
public safety so signs do not become a
hazardous distraction on the road.
“We’re trying to be a little more cog-
nizant of the distance in the highway
situations as far as signs [go], and how
close they can be and what we’re al-
lowed as far as Alberta Transportation,”
said Fule.
According to the new bylaw, signs for
municipal elections may be set up as
early as 60 days prior to the election
and must be removed within three days
after election day.
Signs may also not exceed 1.5m² in
total sign area and cannot be higher
than 1.0 meter above ground level.
Signs must also not be illuminated or
attached to trees.
Fule said the bylaw’s rules introduce
more clarity and consistency to the up-
coming election and make the process
fairer for all candidates.
“[Come] election time, there are …
many signs throughout the community,
and we just want to make sure that ev-
erything is followed correctly, and that
it’s a fair, level playing field for every-
body,” he said.
The next municipal election in Strath-
more will be held on Oct. 18. Prior to
that, nomination day is noted to be on
Sept. 20.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TIMES

Harassment of public officials unacceptable
To the Editor
The recent harassment of Health Minister Tyler
Shandro and his family at a public event in Calgary
should give all of us pause. Behavior like this against
any public official of any political stripe, is, bluntly,
wholly unacceptable.
Being a public official can be a challenging job
– and it is called “public service” for a reason. The
stakes for all are high in both the best and worst of
times.
Steve Jobs once said, “If you want to make every-
one happy, don’t be leader, sell ice cream!” While
this is true, we need leaders in our democracy. The
job comes – and justifiably so – with criticism. Indeed,
no matter what party of which you are a member or
position that you take, there will be opposition and
any official will face challenges. This is the essence
of our free democracy and criticism in and of itself
should be encouraged in a society as robust as ours.
The right to peaceful assembly is also enshrined in
our constitution, and without question is essential to
our democracy. But all rights in Canada are subject
to “reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be de-
monstrably justified in a free and democratic society”
as stated in section 1 of our Charter of Rights and
Freedoms.
But there is a clear line between debate, criticism,
and peaceful protest that should never be crossed
-and that is when harassment and threats are in-
volved.
All Premiers in Alberta for at least 30 years have
full-time security. Other MLA’s who face harassment
have security available to them if a threat risk assess-
