Last week, a group of local aboriginal leaders met privately with members of City council and senior municipal staff to propose a formal agreement that would establish the partnership, which both sides are heralding as groundbreaking. The meeting ended with a tentative agreement, and a commitment on both sides to co-create a draft document for City council to debate publicly later this month. ?IT WOULD BE AN AGREEMENT SAYING THEY (CITY) WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE AND TAKE THE ADVICE OF WHATEVER THE ABORIGINAL COMMUN ...

After gold medals at the 2002 Salt Lake City and 2006 Turin Winter Olympics, as well as an Olympic silver medal at the 1998 Nagano games and several World championships, Canada is expected to be a very strong contender for the gold in women?s hockey. Women?s hockey has exploded in popularity in the last couple of decades. However, what is often forgotten is that women?s hockey was also a major sport in Canada in the early part of the last century. The first recorded women?s hockey to take place in Alberta was played in Medicine Hat in 1897. A few years later, in the winter of 1904-1905, the first women?s hockey was organized ...

8 Red Deer Express Wednesday, February 3, 2010 OUR OPINION Change pay system for elected officials To have City councillor expenses made public four times a year - instead of one ? is of course a move that is hard in any way to criticize. It increases transparency and makes the City?s elected officials more accountable to the public. Few could muster any credible argument against this. However, what the new initiative also shows is that it?s time to end all claims and notions that being an elected civic official in Red Deer is a part-time job. It is full-time in every way, including pay. However, for a long time it was easy to understand claims that sitting on council was a part-time job, if one chose to look only at the base salary. The expense and per diem figures officially released by the City on Jan. 25 proves there is nothing part-time about serving as an elected official. It also shows that a new system of paying Red Deer?s City councillors is way overdue. The mayor?s annual sal ...

Wednesday, February 3, 2010 OPINION Red Deer Express 9 I would like to take this opportunity to chime in on the recent string of letters in the Red Deer Express pertaining to atheism and religion. Having been a somewhat religious fellow for most of my life I was intrigued with Mr. Klause?s piece on atheism (Jan. 20) as I had no previous understanding of it. I knew people didn?t believe in God but I myself didn?t understand why. I read Mr. Klause?s article with an open mind and tried to see his point. I felt that his piece was well constructed and had a few valid points. Although I didn?t agree with all of them, I was shocked to read the next week (Jan. 27) as Letters to the editor Every opinion deserves to be heard and respected Thank you from Stroke foundation As the CEO of the Heart and Stroke Foundation in these challenging economic times, I am frequently asked by individuals and business leaders to explain ? and even defend - the foundation?s continued investment of precious donor ...
