Wheatland County rescinds resolution

Wheatland 2021

Wheatland County council passed several motions to rescind a resolution, which was set for consideration at the Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA) spring convention following advice from legal counsel during a closed session at the regular Tuesday, February 1 council meeting.
In the February 2 edition of the Mail, it was reported Wheatland County would forward the resolution to both the Provincial Agriculture Services Board conference and the RMA spring convention, and that the neighbouring Kneehill County Committee of the Whole had unanimously agreed to second the resolution at their own meeting.
However, following the February 1 meeting, Wheatland County council moved to ratify the decision and rescinded the resolution; Wheatland County Reeve Amber Link was also directed to hold discussions with the Wheatland County Agriculture Services Board and Wheatland and Area Surface Rights Society regarding the decision.
Administration was also directed to revise the original draft resolution to bring back to council for review at a later date.

On Saturday, February 5, the Dragons were back on the road to take on Blackfalds. The Bulldogs scored first, but Will Christian tied it up to end the first period. Dietrich took the lead for the Dragons early in the second, but Blackfalds tied it again. Sam Simard put the Dragons up 3-2 after two periods.
Simard kept up the pressure, and 2:53 into the third period put the Dragons up 4-2. Carter Belitski added one more as the Dragons went on to a 5-2 win.
The Dragons are back in second place in the AJHL Viterra South as of Sunday, with a three-point cushion on the Kodiaks. On Tuesday, February 8, they hosted the Olds Grizzlys, results not available at press time.
