COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS

REGULAR MEETING

JUNE 27

RURAL RENEWAL STREAM PROGRAM APPLICATION: Council approved the submission of an application to the Government of Alberta’s Rural Renewal Immigration Stream (RRS). This program supports the attraction and retention of newcomers to rural Alberta through a community driven approach that supports local economic development needs and contributes to the growth of the community. The RRS addresses current labour needs and skills shortages in rural Alberta communities and helps newcomers settle into the community. This stream requires a community to apply to the provincial government for a community designation. Once designated, the community then works with employers to attract, recruit, and retain newcomers by sharing information on settlement supports.

The Bonnyville RCMP were involved in 176 investigations between June 16-23.

On the morning of June 15, the Bonnyville RCMP attended a rural residence in Goodridge on Township Rd 624 near Range Rd 493 and executed a Search Warrant in search of stolen vehicles.  Assisting partners that also participated were K Division Auto Theft Unit, St. Paul Police Dog Services and the Lakeland Crime Reduction Unit. Two pickup trucks, one SUV, one ATV, one camper trailer, one stolen oilfield battery, vehicle keys, a loaded .22 rifle with ammunition and two ‘ninja stars’ were seized from the property. Trevor Mischuk, 46, of Goodridge was arrested at the scene and is charged with Possession of Stolen Property Over $5000, Possession of Stolen Property Under $5000, VIN Altering, Unauthorized Possession of a Firearm, Unsafe Storage of a Firearm and 2 counts of Unauthorized Possession of a Prohibited Weapon.  A Bail Hearing was held and the Justice of the Peace released Mischuk without having to pay any cash. His first appearance is set for June 27 in Bonnyville.

Council. Neil Langridge was sworn in as Deputy Mayor during the June 13 Council Meeting.
