It’s a well-known fact that Alberta has a fairly poor record regarding traffic safety, especially on highways.

Last week some colleagues and I were near the water cooler enjoying lunch. An employee who works part-time in St. Albert spoke up and asked about whether or not we had any sanding trucks? I was shocked and did not know how to reply.

I am pleased to read that MP Brent Rathgeber is listening to his constituents about federal budget priorities.

When curbside recycling came to St. Albert I was quite happy, thinking that we would have a system on par with Edmonton.
