homes.
Residents can place any items that are suitable to reuse on their property in front of their house on Friday

streets and help themselves to any of the goodies, free of charge. The event is over on Sunday evening at
7:00 p.m. Anything remaining after 7:00 p.m. Sunday, May 10th must be taken back in by the owner.

The Town of Coalhurst hopes residents will take part and enjoy a weekend perusing through the
neighbourhoods in search of new-to-you treasures! This weekend will coincide with Spring Clean Up,
being held May 20th, to help cut down expenses. (Watch for spring clean up details in Town News and on

TOWN OF COALHURST BUSINESS OWNERS
BIG OR SMALL
OR IF YOU OWN A BUSINESS IN LETHBRIDGE OR AREA
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
Dear Town of Coalhurst and area Business Owner:
On behalf of the Town Coalhurst, I would like to invite your business to take advantage of this opportunity to
participate in the full-color Coalhurst Community Promotion, Business and Relocation Guide magazine.
This magazine will be used to promote the Town of Coalhurst. It will feature information including local
demographics, education, recreation, a map and more. Similar magazines have been published in other
municipalities in the past and have been extremely well-received, particularly by potential residents and investors.
The publication will be distributed through the Town Office, Open Houses, Trade Shows, Investor Packages and
Local Area Businesses. We are very excited about this publication and encourage your participation as your
involvement will allow you to showcase your company and services.
Your involvement in this promotional magazine will demonstrate a solid commitment to collaborative partnership
marketing. I anticipate that your involvement will in turn be rewarded through heightened awareness of your
business as well as the potential to increase customer traffic. The format of the publication will be directly related
to the amount of support provided by local advertisers. By working together we can make this a great publication!
We look forward to your participation and thank you in advance for your support. Due to publishing deadlines, time
is of the essence. TNC Publications representative Mr. Dave Schneider will answer any questions you may have
and can show you samples of similar promotional publications. Additionally, please feel free to contact me
personally at 403-381-3033.
R.K. Hauta

Recreation
Trailers
and
Recreation Vehicles (those of
such design as to be intended to provide a
temporary sleeping accommodation)
TOWN OF COALHURST
MUNICIPAL CENSUS –
CENSUS DAY MAY 20, 2015
Residents should be aware that
Recreation Trailers and Recreation
Vehicles are allowed to be parked on
Town roads for a period not to exceed 72
hours and for the purpose of loading and
unloading only during the months of June
through September provided that in so
doing no obstruction is caused to
vehicular
or
pedestrian
traffic.
Commencing May 20, 2015 Census Workers,
hired by the Town of Coalhurst, will be knocking
on all the doors in the Town of Coalhurst asking
for information related to the number and age
group of people residing in each residence. Prior
to starting their work, the Census Workers will
take an Oath of Confidentiality and all
information collected will be kept confidential
and used only for the production of aggregated
statistics. All responses will remain anonymous
– names will not be required with the
questionnaire responses. Protection of privacy is
guaranteed under the Freedom of Information and
Protection of Privacy Act. All Census Workers
will be wearing official identification.
The Town roads are not your summer
storage solution for your Recreation
Vehicles and Recreation Trailers. Unless
you are loading or unloading your RV’s
they need to be moved off of the Town
roads to an appropriate location.
The work of the Census Worker is necessary for
the continued viability of the Town. Every
courtesy and full cooperation would be most
appreciated.
The information requested is
essential for completing a successful census.
It should also be noted that at no time
throughout the year are utility, cargo, flatdeck, etc… type of trailers to be left
unattached from a vehicle on any road
within the Town of Coalhurst. These
types of trailers need to be attached to a
vehicle at all times when parked on a
Town road and cannot be causing any
obstruction to vehicular or pedestrian
traffic.
The information collected in a census allows the
Town to ensure that maximum grant funds are
received from the Federal and Provincial
Governments, as many are awarded on a per
capita basis, and helps the Town, and related
agencies and organizations, plan for the future.
The census is being conducted under the authority
of the Municipal Government Act.
Please take note of the above and feel free to
contact me with any questions or concerns.
Thanks.
As residents of the Town know, a Municipal
Census was done at this time in 2013 with a
population count of 2301. The Census is to be
completed by June 30, 2015.

Despite the downturn in oil prices, which has
certainly had its negative effects on many Albertan
families, we have seen a great increase in sales in
the housing market here. And it looks to be coming
to Coalhurst as well this spring!!
After a couple disappointingly slower years, it would
seem recent announcements by the Province

to the main intersection have made Coalhurst a
consideration again amongst Buyers. We hope the
trend continues or perhaps improves even more if
the promise is kept following the election.
