How about follow thorsby's example and build an indoor skate park and recreation center that is supervised -- keep the kids off the street and away from the drugs? ... and more funding for low income families to get on their feet. to give their children better opportunities within the community to not be in proverty and to excel.

What is there to do in Wetaskiwin?

Lucas Warren — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:51:27 +0000

In talking with people, one of the most common complaints about Wetaskiwin is that "there isn't anything to do." While this is definitely a concern, in some cases, the issue might just be about not knowing about what's going on in the City and surrounding area. So, the idea is simple -- tell us what you like to do in Wetaskiwin. It can be something easy (eg. 'Go for a walk in Peace Hills Park' ), seasonal (eg. 'The Raw Hide Rodeo'), generational (something for teenagers, families, seniors), funny, boring, really it doesn't matter -- as long as its something to do. Related posts:

the comments must be heard for change to occur

Lucas Warren — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 23:17:01 +0000

i was born here in the sixties and this town has been home. i am glad everyone is taking the time to type what is on there mind. but what is a concerne here is, if the people on city councel that can do something about the concerns of the taxpayers do not read these blogs as i have, they will not even know that folks in this town are upset and are worried about what has, or in this case, has not happened to wetaskiwin in the last 10, 20, 30 years.

What does Wetaskiwin need?

It is a beautiful, small city with agreat community. We need the CITY to think from out of a box , instead of inside it. Need to be more flexible, so more businesses can move in this city.

I have been here 2 years, and, we have had NO alderman, or the Mayor call and ask, how are we doing. Make people feel WELCOMED.

As a small business owner, it is hard to find employees

Lucas Warren — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:53:38 +0000

As a small business owner, it is hard to find employees. If we had better shopping, restaurants, entertainment, we could entice more people here & sustain the shops, restaurants etc. More housing would be needed, more families would supply more workers. It has to start with bringing more people here. We have the room to grow don't we? Related posts:

Our Green Year a big success

Lucas Warren — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:10:57 +0000

On November 18, 2009 Craig and Layla Baird (Our Green Year) came to Wetaskiwin City Hall to talk about their year-long experiment to reduce their carbon footprint.

It was a fascinating and inspiring look at what it means to 'live green'. From creating a solar cooker, to recycling show water, the Bairds tried 365 different eco-activities. Some were basic (shorter showers), others more involved (making their own butter) but each highlighted the powerful impact that few (relatively) simple lifestyle changes can make in both your budget and your carbon footprint.
