Hundreds turn out for Alberta independence petition in Okotoks
OkotoksToday
6Are there any restrictions for this ridiculous petition? Are there any checks in place to ensure that people are not signing it more than once or that they are actually living in Alberta? The only people that have a say in this are the people that are truly born in Alberta and have resided in Alberta their entire lives. I can tell you that those of us who are true Albertans do not want to separate.

Alberta to allow laser sights in hunting
OkotoksToday 7It makes me ill that Todd Loewen has been handed the UCP portfolio he was given. He is part owner of an outfitting business with his son, so this is a blatant conflict of interest. He is an avid big game hunter himself. He makes these selfish policies to accommodate himself and his hunting buddies.There is absolutely no science behind his decisions to issue hunting licences on any given species.

Farmed deer and elk could be legally hunted in Alberta
OkotoksToday 7What an asinine statement! Releasing farm raised deer and elk into the wild population is a recipe for disaster and reeks of the selfishness of the UCP to make a dollar. Sigurdson definitely needs to be recalled!

All Wheel Skatepark open in Okotoks
OkotoksTodayI feel for the people who live directly across the street from this skatepark. It is situated within a residential neighborhood and the noice from it will be an issue.

Okotoks Municipal Centre to be lit up three times this week
OkotoksToday 1If you want to celebrate Earth Day you should be turning off the lights, not on. Lights on at night contribute to thousands of migratory bird deaths as well as bat deaths.

Colts Crossing back on the table in Diamond Valley
OkotoksTodayWe lived in Bragg Creek and then moved to Okotoks in 2001. Okotoks has become an overcrowded and undesirable place to live. We have considered moving to Diamond Valley for the more quiet and appealing atmosphere and used to have family residing there. It would be nice to purchase a newer home in Diamond Valley if some smaller scale residential development were allowed to happen.

Construction begins on second skatepark in Okotoks
OkotoksTodayWhat is going on? There is already another skatepark near the Dawgs stadium which hardly seems to be in use. How much is this going to cost us taxpayers??! This field could be put to much better use for something like a pool or another fitness facility. I feel sorry for the residents that live across the street from this new skatepark. Their neighborhood and parking is about to become loud and congested.
