cent increase in their municipal tax bill in
2020.
The 2020-2022 long-term plan was adopted
by Strathmore town council on Dec. 18.
On a $300,000 home, the increase should be
around $89 per year or $7.42 per month.
“We’re in a tough situation because you
want to keep property taxes low, but you can’t
keep them so low that you’re falling behind on
infrastructure and maintenance,” said Pat Fule,
Strathmore mayor.
“We agonized over it but we voted for an in-
crease – the mayor is not exempt and neither
are the councillors.”
The town also made its own budget cuts.
Town of Strathmore employees are foregoing
their cost-of-living increases, while individual
departments found efficiencies to reduce ad-
vertising and promotions, paper and binding,
and conference fees, and town council is re-
ducing its own budget by 15 per cent. They
managed to shave $785,890 off the expenses.
Unfortunately, the increased budget pressures
were just over $2 million.
New builds and permits were down last year
which contributed to lower revenues.
Business taxes will also be increasing at 6.9
per cent but for 2020, the town will be remov-
ing business licence fees.
“To be honest, I have a good feeling about
2020. I think we’re going to see more housing
starts, we’re actually getting to a point where
more people are aware of us” Fule said. He
added the advertising and promotion the town
has been doing is beginning to pay off.
They’ve also been working to make mort-
gages easier, passing the bylaw to allow more
secondary suites in older homes and also in
new home builds.
Strathmore also has a lot of amenities. Rec-
reational buildings such as the aquatic centre
and the arena are highly subsidized, Fule said.
Those centres, he noted, can help build the
town through attracting people to move here
Handcrafted Christmas market
and also by attracting events like the Summer
Westmount school held their annual Christmas marketplace on Dec. 19 where students had
the opportunity to shop for handcrafted Christmas goodies made by other students. Grade 5
Games, tournaments and Hometown Hockey. students Makenzie Beaton (l-r) and Jaydon Woods sold snowman coasters and ornaments.
“People can see where those tax dollars go,” Adelle Ellis Photo
the Mayor concluded.

becomes expensive and hard to find. Scammers
are using the popularity of some toys to trick parents
out of their money.
Use these BBB tips to avoid toy scams:
• Only buy toys from reputable stores and websites.
The best way to avoid getting scammed when purchasing toys is to
buy them directly from a seller you know and trust.
• Don’t be fooled by extra-low prices. Unreasonably low
prices are a red flag for a scam on many products. Avoid making
a purchase from a retailer you aren’t familiar with just because the
price sounds too good to be true – it probably is!
• Research before you buy. If a company seems legitimate
but you aren’t familiar with it, be extra careful with your personal
information. Before offering up your name, address, and credit card
information, make sure the company has a working customer
service number.

LEELA SHARON AHEER
Chestermere-Strathmore MLA
Hello Strathmore!
As I try to deal with the hustle and bustle of the Christ-
mas season, buy gifts, bake cookies, and watch the little
ones get more and more excited, I try to step back and
think about what the greatest gifts we get from Christmas
are. This poem from Helen Steiner Rice says it all:
“I have a list of folks I know, all written in a book
And every year when Christmas comes, I go and take a
look
And that is when I realize that these names are a part
Not of the book they are written in, but really in my heart
For each name stands for someone who has crossed my
path sometime
And in the meeting they’ve become the rhythm in each
rhyme
And while it sounds fantastic for me to make this claim,
I really feel that I’m composed of each remembered name.
And while you may not be aware of any special link

As 2019 comes to an end, we can celebrate that
we live in this period of history, especially where
life-expectancy is concerned. In 1900, the average
life expectancy was 47 years and 165 out of every
thousand babies born died in infancy. Today, our
life span averages 82 years (80 for men and 84 for
women).
Infant mortality is 4.5/1000. So even with all the
negatives of modern age, we can thank medical
science for discoveries such as immunization, an-
tibiotics, insulin, and many others, for saving mil-
lions of lives since 1900.

Siksika Nation and Wheatland County food banks were the
big winners with each receiving $3,000 from Canadian Pacific
Rail as well as splitting 435 pounds of food and $3,200 raised
when the Holiday Train made the final stop of its American
trip at Gleichen/Siksika on Dec. 18.
While the amount of food donated was down from last
year, the amount of funds raised through donations and sales
were up – thanks in part to a $2,000 donation from the Glei-
chen Lions Club.
“What really makes this night magical is our partnership
with Siksika Nation which helped make all this possible,” said
Wheatland County Reeve Amber Link.
“It was a great night,” said Sandra Sparvier, health promo-
tions liaison for Siksika Health Services. “I saw lots of happy
kids and happy people.”
About 1,500 people came out for the event which began
at 5 p.m. and concluded after 10 p.m. with the CP Holiday
Train’s arrival and concert featuring Meghan Patrick, Tanika
Charles and Kelly Prescott.
This was CP’s American Holiday Train which left Montreal
on Nov. 26, making stops in southern Ontario and New York
state, before picking up again in Chicago, Ill. It made its way
through several U.S. states before crossing into Saskatche-
wan, concluding with the final show of the trip being in Glei-
chen on Dec. 18.

Strathmore’s Florist is under new
ownership.
In their present business location
for 19 years, the 39-year-old business’s
stunning flower assortment, beautiful
arrangements, handtied bouquets, gift
items and personal service have satis-
fied many customers.
While that trend, store hours, and
current staff will continue in a similar
manner, the florist is now under new
ownership.
Long-time owners Brian and Linda
Code said they wish two things during
this transition. The first, that the new
owners are a success in the local floral
industry; and second, that the staff con-

tinues to do well.
The name of the business will remain
the same – Strathmore’s Florist – and
will be managed by Joline Scobie.
The new company owns three other
flower shops: Okotoks Flowers and
Things in Okotoks, and Kensington
Florist and Charlotte’s Web Florists in
Calgary.
Scobie said Strathmore’s Florist will
continue to value community involve-
ment, service excellence and the integ-
rity that Linda and Brian Code created.
Scobie also assures public of ongoing
prompt service. As well, arrangements
for weddings, proms, corporate events,
holidays and funerals, plus gifts, gift
baskets, plants and free floral consul-
tations are also available by phone or

The CP Holiday Train stopped in Gleichen/Siksika for the first time in
2018 and made a return visit this year, on December 18, for the 2019
tour finale. Artists Meghan Patrick, Tanika Charles, and Kelly Prescott
joined the tour in Chicago and finished the train’s journey in Gleichen/
Siksika.
Since its inaugural journey in 1999, the Holiday Train has raised more
than $15.8 million and collected around 4.5 million pounds of food for
food banks across the United States and Canada.
Food donations and funds raised throughout the evening were in
support of the Wheatland County Food Bank and the Siksika Food Bank.
Throughout the evening, there were also horse drawn wagon rides, DJs,
a Christmas Market, fire pits to warm up by, hay bales to play on in the
kids area, greetings from the Calgary Stampede Queen and Princess
and Calgary Stampede First Nations Princess, and live performances
by Generation Country, Rozella and Friends, and local talent in the
Gleichen & District Community Centre. Visitors also enjoyed hot dogs,
hot chocolate, and burgers served by Wheatland County Council, the
Gleichen & District Community Association, Siksika Fire Services, and the
Lions Club. A local food truck was also serving up some great fare.
It was a magical evening and only made possible due to the
overwhelming support from our community partners, corporate
sponsors, and volunteers.
We hope everyone had a great time and thank you for coming!
