We are all Treaty People, bound to one another to honour the spirit and intent of Treaties “as long as the sun shines, the grass grows and the river flows.” In that spirit, the leaders of #Treaty6 and Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board (EMRB) were pleased to meet today to renew ties and explore opportunities to collaboratively steward the land we share as we plan for a future for all citizens.

As our Region grows, protecting our watersheds is crucial to ensure a reliable supply of clean water for future generations. 💧 At the same time, it's vital that our #YEGMetro Region has the long-term municipal water and stormwater servicing capacity to support planned development. This balance between growth and sustainability is essential for creating resilient communities. #WaterSustainability

Tomorrow, we celebrate the incredible work of honey bees, our tiny yet mighty pollinators who play a vital role in our ecosystem and food production. These industrious insects are essential for the pollination of many crops, contributing to the diversity and abundance of our food supply. This commitment to maintain ecological balance and promote biodiversity, aligns perfectly with the work of the #EMRB; dedicated to stewarding our Region's natural assets, for future generations. By protecting green spaces and promoting sustainable practices, the #EMRB supports the habitats that honey bees and other pollinators need to thrive. Together, we can create a resilient environment where both human and bee communities flourish. #EMRB #BeeTheChange
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Councillor Allan Hoefsloot. During this difficult time, our thoughts are with the Parkland County residents as they remember the impact Allan made on their community.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Division 6 Councillor Allan Hoefsloot. Allan passed away Saturday, August 10, after a battle with cancer. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Allan’s wife, children, grandchildren, as well as his many friends throughout the community. “Allan was a wonderful Councillor and colleague, but he was an even better friend. We have shared many laughs together, both in and outside the office, and I will miss him dearly,” said Mayor Allan Gamble. “I feel so fortunate to have gotten to know and work alongside someone as genuine and caring as Allan.” “All of Council feels the weight of this loss. He was a teammate who brought a joyful but determined approach to work. We all admired his commitment to serving residents and his advocacy as he worked to make positive changes for our community.” Allan was an active member of Parkland County’s agricultural and industrial community. He lived with his family out west on their farm in Tomahawk, where they raised cattle and farmed hay. His passion for agriculture made him a strong voice for farmers throughout the region, and his advocacy for the industry will ensure that future generations will prosper. He loved the rural way of life. When Allan wasn’t working in the office or on his farm, he could often be found enjoying a meal at the Gainford Hotel. He could also be found attending local rodeos and spending quality time with his beloved family and friends. Allan will always be remembered for his incredibly kind and gentle spirit, and his warm smile. He will be greatly missed. In honour of Councillor Hoefsloot, flags at the Parkland County Centre will be lowered to half-mast.
