Beyond Local

Albertans will head to the polls April 16 after Premier Rachel Notley announced the election in Calgary this morning.

R.F. Staples School principal and Dapp native Wayne Rufiange has joined what’s become a three-man race to represent the newly-formed Athabasca-Barrhead-Westlock riding in the yet-to-be announced provincial election.

The Alberta NDP have found a standard bearer for the upcoming election, with Smoky Lake resident Therese Taschuk acclaimed as the party’s candidate for the Athabasca-Barrhead-Westlock constituency.

The Athabasca-Barrhead-Westlock riding has two new confirmed candidates for the as-yet-to-be-called provincial election.

The village needs an up-to-date map, according to chief administrative officer Charlie Ashbey, who spoke to council at their regular meeting Feb. 6.

Emergency responders from Athabasca and Boyle converged at the Millview Recreation Complex Feb. 2 to take part in the Seventh Annual Rod Winder Memorial Emergency Services Hockey Game.
