Mayor, Sandi Benford, receives Queen's Platinum Jubilee Pin
Mayor, Sandi Benford is the recipient of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee pin which
recognizes residents who have provided exceptional service to the community and
Canada. The pin celebrates the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II’s 70th
anniversary on the throne, marking her as Canada’s longest sovereign and first to
celebrate a platinum jubilee.
Sandi has been a member of South View Council since 2001 and has been Mayor
for the majority of that time. Sandi also volunteers her time with the Lake Isle Aquatic
Management Society (LIAMS).
Those who received a Jubilee pin were nominated online by local residents as
someone who made important contributions to the community by volunteering,
being a community leader, person of achievement, or someone who represents
the best of Canadians.
Congratulations Mayor Benford!

Tornado Season - Be Prepared
In Alberta, tornado season runs May through September with most activity between mid-June to early August. It is important to know what to do before the threat is near. Here are a few tips to help you stay safe:
- Bring everyone indoors, including pets if safe to do,
- Grab your emergency supplies, and
- Take shelter in a small interior windowless room on the lowest level possible, below ground is best.
