FROM THE MAYORS DESK Finally, some beautiful fall weather. What a blessing
for the farmers who are now out in full force finishing up the
harvest under dry conditions. The Donalda Municipal
Library celebrated 30 years of continuous service to the
Community with an Open House and Reception on
October 17. The Village highly values its library as it
provides more programs and events for the children of our
Community than any other facility outside of the school.
Furthermore, the library offers access to almost any book
through its’ membership in the centralized Parkland Library
System, as well as open internet service. At the last Village
Council meeting which was held on October 16, 2018, Johan
van der Bank, Director of Planning and Development at the
County of Stettler, presented a Draft Copy of an
InterMunicipal Development Plan (IDP). This plan, now
required by Municipal Affairs, outlines how the Village of
Donalda and the County of Stettler will work together on
future development that may happen near each other.
Before this Plan is finalized, both an Open House and a
Public Hearing will be held. Copies of this Draft Plan can be
obtained at either the Village Office or the County of Stettler
Office. Also, at this Council meeting a By-law was
presented, amended, and passed with three readings
pertaining to the Consumption of Cannabis within the
Village. In short, Cannabis cannot be consumed on any
public or Village owned property within the Village of
Donalda. This is in line with overwhelming opinions given
to Council by residents prior to the creation of the
By-law. With Halloween coming up very shortly we ask that
everyone will do their part in keeping it a safe and fun time
for our young people.

DONALDA AG SOCIETY
It is great to see to finally see some decent harvest weather. The sense of comradeship and community spirit is amazing to feel as neighbours and community pull together to aid each other in the
battle to beat the weather. Prayers for all to get their crops off safely. We invite you to join us celebrate the harvest season with
our fall supper this Saturday, October 27 from 5-7pm at the hall. Tickets just $15, kids under 12 eat free. On Monday, October 22 we
had the privilege of recognizing one of our community youth leaders and volunteers at the Donalda School Awards Night.
Congratulations to Colby Norman, the recipient of the Donalda Ag Society’s Youth Agriculture Award and congratulations to all the
awards. While, we’re not wanting winter activities yet, we do invite the area youth to come toboggan on the hills at Willow Canyon
(formerly the Ski Hill). Once snow arrives, gates will be open on the weekends and throughout any school breaks. Please check the calendar on the website (donaldaagsociety.com) to see if there is a
rental before heading out. Please respect the property and keep your OHVs at home. We will also be installing a temporary
seasonal outdoor skating rink at the Equestrian Centre Property. All users will have access to the heated lobby and washrooms. The proposed area is well lit and close to the school. We’re looking at ways to track the number of users to see if there is indeed a need for a permanent seasonal outdoor rink. Floor Curling in the hall
has started: Tuesdays at 1pm. For bookings of any of our facilities, please contact Beth at 403-741-8196.
Next meeting is Nov 15 @ 7:00pm at the hall.
Did you know?? Each year the Ag Society pays upwards of $12,000 for insurance for the arena, hall and willow
canyon. This includes liabilities and structural insurance. The cost of utilities for the year for the above
properties runs around $20-21,000 each year.
