To be eligible, the support must address the social well-being of those most affected by the pandemic and the measures implemented to limit the spread of the virus. Those impacted may include seniors, individuals with chronic medical conditions, caregivers, families with children at home, and individuals with limited access to supports. For full details, please refer to the “Funding Criteria” document attached.
Lac Ste. Anne County will be accepting applications on behalf of organizations providing services throughout the County, as well as those serving the Town of Onoway, Village of Alberta Beach or any of the Summer Villages within the County boundary. Services being provided to Mayerthorpe and area can be submitted to either Lac Ste. Anne County (dkerr@LSAC.ca) or the Town of Mayerthorpe (fcss@mayerthorpe.ca).

The Summer Village of South View is currently part of a 3-component project along with 7 other municipalities. One component is to adopt a Municipal Development Plan (MDP) which will be a mandatory requirement for all municipalities under the Modernized Municipal Government Act. The Municipal Development Plan is a primary document that guides the future development and growth of the whole community. The MDP sets the vision on how to accommodate this growth responsibly and serves as an important decision-making tool for Council, administration and all stakeholders. As a statutory plan required by the Alberta Municipal Government Act, the MDP provides direction for Council, administration, developers and builders, property-owners, residents and adjacent municipalities.
An MDP will address several items, including:
-future land use
-future development
-coordination
-transportation
-municipal services
A Public Open House was held on Saturday, August 24, 2019 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Darwell Seniors Hall with respect to the Draft Municipal Development Plan.
