Indigenous community hosts full moon ceremony ...

Kristen Villebrun and Wendy Bush hoped they wouldn't have to pray for Chedoke Creek, but four years after they first raised alarm about the water's condition, they were part of an Indigenous full moon ceremony to do just that. About 50 people showed up near Princess Point on the dark and frigid Monday evening for the monthly ceremony, which was particularly special as it focused on Chedoke Creek. The body of water that runs into Cootes Paradise had about 24 billion litres of sewage and storm water runoff leak into it due to a gate being left open.

Kneehill County council passed a motion at the Tuesday, August 17 regular council meeting to pursue a feasibility study regarding providing water to residents east of the Town of Three Hills in rural Kneehill County. In March 2021 a survey was sent to residents in the Three Hills East area, and administration was directed at the April 27 council meeting to explore water delivery options for the area. A total of five options were presented to council at the regular July 20 council meeting, and council directed administration to further explore four of these options.
