Council Meeting Highlights - March 25, 2026

Here are the highlights from the March 25 Council Meeting:

• Kevin Halwa, Jeff McGowan, and Colin Buschman with the National Police Federation provided a presentation on policing in Alberta, outlining RCMP service and considerations, advocacy for members, and support for local detachments.
• Ken Drysdale, Chairman of the Maskwa Medical Center, presented on the not‑for‑profit registered charity focused on improving access to medical specialists and family physicians. Led by Peace Region residents, the center aims to enhance health outcomes and quality of life for Northern Alberta communities. The proposed three‑storey facility will include an academic teaching clinic on the first floor, complementary retail services on the second floor (such as a pharmacy, medical supply business, daycare, and restaurant), and the Maskwa Medical Specialist Clinic on the third floor, offering treatment plans within 10 days of referral. Council approved a $6,000 donation to support the project.
• Council appointed Councillor Florence as the municipal representative on the Harvest Moon Festival Committee.
• Council reviewed the Outdoor Skating Rink Inspection and Maintenance Policy and moved to implement the policy as written.
• Council reviewed the updated Grimshaw Curling Club Agreement and referred it back to administration for revisions.
