Alberta Beach would like to recognize that June 21 marks National Indigenous Peoples Day, a day recognizing and celebrating the cultures and outstanding contributions of the First Nations, Inuit, and Metis Indigenous Peoples of Canada. We are pleased to acknowledge, honour, and celebrate the First Peoples and their relatives. With today marking the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, it is fitting to celebrate these two occasions together. The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year, where the Sun remains in our celestial sphere for the most amount of time all year and holds cultural and spiritual significance to Indigenous Peoples. However, we cannot gather to celebrate Mother Earth and the gifts she gives, as well as the language, cultures, and ceremonies of Indigenous People around Canada without taking pause and acknowledging the hundreds of graves, long known but only recently found, at Canada’s residential school sites. We must reflect on both, the unfortunate history, as well as, the future and all its potential with our Indigenous brothers and sisters, if we are to commit to truth and reconciliation. 
JUNE 15, 2024 PUBLIC NOTICE: Potential Paving Contractor Scam Alert Please be advised that O’Hanlon Paving has been contracted to do our current paving projects. It has been reported that persons are going door to door offering paving work for paths or driveways. These individuals are not affiliated with our contractor. Our contractor DOES NOT engage in door-to-door sales. Please exercise caution if approached by individuals offering paving services at your doorstep. Door to Door sales require a Hawker Peddler permit from the Village. Exercise diligence and caution when retaining contractor services. Keep the following tips in mind to avoid falling victim to a scam: - Ask for names of previous customers and verify that they were satisfied with the work. - Research the company. - Obtain a written quote that includes the full business name, address, phone number, GST number, as well as provincial and municipal license numbers, if applicable. - Quotes should specify the quantity and quality of materials being offered. Be skeptical if contractors decline to provide this information. - Seek estimates from reputable companies to compare costs. - Do not agree to a contract if you feel pressured or if the contractor refuses to take "no" for an answer. - Be leery of unsolicited offers. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! If you suspect fraudulent paving contractor activity, please report it immediately to the local RCMP detachment: Parkland RCMP - Non-Emergency Line: 825-220-7267 Thank you for your cooperation.
