What a cautionary action! What another unbelievable and outrageous waste of money and talent! St Albert City Council is paying $25,000 plus of taxpayers’ dollars to outsource the strategic planning priorities sessions.

I applaud wholeheartedly the view by A.I. Smith (Gazette, Dec. 2). Councillor Sheena Hughes is a superb watchdog on council. While Hughes was on the previous council, I had the opportunity to witness her dedication to taxpayers' concerns.

I am hopeful that Terry and Lesley Gierulski are beginning to understand how complex waste management is with their complaint about the "complicated" St. Albert waste collection system (Letter to the Editor, Gazette , Nov. 25).

The relentless blathering and bleating of branch library supporters makes me wonder: have they ever been to a library? They should try it. Grab a book. Start with a dictionary. Look up democracy.

Somewhat belatedly and in a marked departure from my usual rhetoric, I wish to bestow a ‘thumbs up’ to St. Albert city council in regards to the public hearing on the proposed Braeside condo project that was held during the Nov. 20 council meeting.

Please Remember them All… My Canadian Brothers and Sisters in Arms came in all shapes and sizes. Their skin colour varied. They spoke many different languages. They believed in their chosen faiths.

I must have read Doug Toshack’s Nov. 18 letter to the editor half a dozen times to try to make sense of it – to no avail. Addressing and preventing homelessness will actually address and prevent the issues that Doug raises in his letter.

At the St. Albert city council meeting of Nov. 20, 2017 it was asked, "What/Where is the Sturgeon River Valley?" I would like to give my opinion as to where it ought to be and perhaps why it is hard to identify.

For those of us who wanted St. Albert city council to defeat the land swap and rezoning on Sturgeon Road, the Nov. 20 meeting gave us a reason to celebrate. The land swap was defeated.
