Council Meeting
Municipal council met last week, via a Zoom meeting, for their regular meeting. It was a normal meeting, with several items of interest, however one of the most important items, was a discussion of arena operations. The municipality had gathered info from residents via a survey, as well individual counsellors also discussed options with residents.
Of significant concern, are the restrictions around gatherings and how they will affect arena use. Council expressed concerns around how to operate the arena while at the same time, balancing safety and costs. The issue will continue to be studied, with staff determining what other municipalities are doing, as well as creating potential options for council to consider.
October 3rd is Hornepayne's official Hazardous Waste day. Citizens can contact the municipality or the township website here, for details. As well, with the closing of the share shack, due to COVID-19, the municipal plan for the fall clean up week, has been changed to some degree. This year, ahead of the clean up week, citizens can put items at the roadside that they do not want, and citizens can take items that might be of interest to them. At the end of the week, municipal Public Works staff, will gather what remains.
Another note of particular interest, is the municipality's relationship with ARDN, the Alberta Rural Development Network. ARDN, who's vision is " A strong sustainable network that empowers rural communities by facilitating and providing access to trusted rural development expertise, information and services" is interested in working with the municipality to help direct its efforts to create growth in our community. While nothing formal is in place, ARDN is quite interested to potentially work with our community to help develop our town, moving forward.
Remember, all council meetings can be viewed online, and also viewed on the municipal youtube channel.
The next meeting is October 21st! Stay tuned to www.hornepayne.com for coverage!

A wonderful summer gives way to fall
At hornepayne.com, we took a break through the summer months. As our province began to regain control of the caseload during the pandemic, a challenging school year wrapped up, and a beautiful summer breezed in, we felt is was worth taking a break from it all
At www.hornepayne.com, we had a wonderful summer, full of warm weather, good friends and family time. It has blown by, very quickly, and tomorrow, we are back at the regular swing of things for the fall.
We are very excited to move this site forward, heading into the fall. We will endeavour to continue to bring you local news that is important, as our community continues to rebound from COVID-19 as well as move forward with many projects and plans.
We also hope to bring our own unique perspective on events, not only in our community, but in our world, through our editorials, and we encourage others to join us in the conversation. I hope more of you become producers and leave us with some thoughts as we continue to build this community as well as region.
So, 'twas a great summer, but we are ready for an exciting fall, bringing to our readers, local coverage and unique thoughts about the world around us! Please join us for this journey!
